world cup beaming it out in several countries for all the world to see. welcome to the program britain's prime minister has suffered a major political setback an attempt by m.p.'s to prevent a no deal breakers that has passed its 1st hurdle and the ruling conservatives are now in turmoil boris johnson has kicked out 21 members of his own party after they voted against him to seize control of the parliamentary agenda when a 2nd vote will take place on wednesday and johnston says if he loses that one he'll call for a general election well here's how the numbers stacked up early on tuesday in the house of commons the opposition rebel tories came together to get 328 votes whereas the government could only muster 301 m.p.'s to support it so the government lost by $27.00 votes.
5:02 am
britain's democracy is a war. with itself. as protesters marched on westminster politicians returned from the summer recess poised to push new legislation through parliament to block always johnson ring that. 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.'s to force johnson to delay breaks it is the default legal position is the u.k. will leave the e.u. on the 31st of october m.p.'s want to delay bracks until the end of january to prevent leaving the e.u. without a deal. the ice of the right 328 the nose the left 301 on tuesday evening m.p.'s voted to take control of parliamentary business thought it could start forest allowing them to begin debating the creation of new legislation on wednesday if m.p.'s do pass a bill to prevent
5:03 am
a no deal johnson says he'll have no choice but to push to hold a general election possibly on october the 15th if he's going to do more and to stop negotiations and to compel i'm not the point of this delay 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 a deal. no majority for no deal in the country. the defection of one 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 law. on its journey into law but there are no
5:04 am
guarantees it will work and after boris 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 europe ranks it has distorted british politics uniting all opponents dividing old alliances the country is careering towards a new brakes a climax with a question this 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 alone a nice 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. parker al-jazeera
5:05 am
london john hall has more now from westminster. well a humiliating defeat certainly this for the fledgling government of bush johnson and just as that result was announced in the house of commons a voice from the other side of that has spiked up not a good start boris and certainly this majority of 27 a bigger number than anyone expected to be diesel lections among the 16 or so tory m.p.'s who voted against their own government and that number suggesting that the legislation at the heart of this motion will also likely make its way successfully through parliament to remind you that is there just nation that would force boris johnson to go to the e.u. and ask for a further delay to breaks it beyond october 31st till january 31st in terms of the proposed legislation if he's unable to get a deal between now and the end of october and associated with all of this the crucial question now of a general election voters johnson made this vote of confidence issue the vote against the government therefore
5:06 am
a vote of no confidence he has lost during the course of the day he's flimsy majority one m.p. for the billy defected to the liberal democrats and he has now put on the order paper for wednesday's business a motion calling for the dissolution of parliament to pave the way for an election leaving aside the question of whether backbench m.p.'s will even allow that motion through the problem he's got is that it requires a 2 thirds majority and labor has said they will not vote for an election until this legislation preventing no deal makes its way all the way through parliament so the possibility exists on wednesday that the government could be defeated yet again both on this legislation and only to own coal for a general election. well ahead of the vote there were street protests across the u.k. one of them took place just outside parliament and the heywood was there. well this protests really goes to show you that this is no longer just a means to you frank said or no deal breaks it it is about austerity it is about
5:07 am
boris johnson and it is also about the future of britain what you hear a lot here the driving force for getting people out onto the street is the word democracy they say that the punk suspension of parliament is simply undemocratic one wasn't told me that they believe that boris johnson is simply trashing the democracy will that voice is behind for that very loud down the road there is a counter demonstration taking place of people who believe the proxy is a good idea it just goes to show that 3 years more you 3 years after the referendum to this issue is still so divisive alex to reuters a professor at birmingham city university and director of the center of a briggs it studies he says it's unlikely that boris johnson will be able to regain control of the situation without calling a general election. it has to make it for passage through the commons and then a cool state of absolute last government marks onto a bus trip. for that so i think it's quite likely that the bill passed and the
5:08 am
originators of the bill relief that it could become move on next monday now the labor of course it may creep he created in germany and said so today that labor would not. call her an election a messy excess the atmosphere and your. strategy so go under. because he needs to be in place to support its request for an exit route in the absence of her own saying no if you don't take it off the table he is not blocking to get that support we have and that would lead me on for how about against the rule of parliament replacing contempt for parliament it would be at the same society's current interest prime minister and the government then when for sure if you're a no confidence motion hurricane dorian is slowly moving closer to the u.s. south and leaving a trail of destruction in the bahamas it's weakened but is already causing strong

gusts of winds in the state of florida on sunday and slammed into the bahamas as a category 5 hurricane 7 people have been killed by the prime minister warns the death toll could rise aerial footage recorded of an acoa island shows the devastation caused in marsh harbor one of the 1st places to be hit. and the gallagher reports from florida. as hurricane dorian edges away from the bahamas a clearer picture of its devastating power is emerging grand bahama 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 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
5:10 am
a disaster but when there's no water after a disaster that can have serious secondary impact 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 you know metaphor for the all the like you see. you when you. love for. the sparking a full story and 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 and hoping that by being so early with our profer asians they
5:11 am
will all be in very we will not have needed to do much of florida's east coast remains a hurricane watch in there is still a danger of high gusts of wind storms coming in from the atlantic ocean but if the track stays as it is predicted the storm should be about 170 kilometer. shows even if it makes its way up to georgia and the countdown is on it's 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 . sort of kirby's a public relations executive and bahamas resident she gave us an account of what happened when the house began to flood. the vacuum wait 530 yesterday it started flooding it came in like i've never seen water come in before we had pretty
5:12 am
much 15 minutes to get out we've never had flooding in the area that we're in we're in a safe zone 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 wait for our family we got in the back of a car and we pushed the car out it wouldn't 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 luckily we have friends who have put in an apartment that was an available on the beach and it's actually on the south side of the island so it's fine friends have
5:13 am
already offered homes people are being amazing in the disaster relief fund starting up all over and i've got a cousin in florida where people are preparing for the storm he sent us this update from time to snow. dorn's about 170 kilometers east of our location here it is continuing in a northwesterly direction so getting dangerously close to this coastline and moving at around 10 kilometers an hour which is much faster than it was moving when it was over the bahamas when it stalled for about 36 hours forecasters say that eventually this storm will take a short north taking it even further away from the coast credit officials and not just the state but also georgia and the carolinas are telling people do not get complacent at this point because you can see the conditions right now and this is getting stronger all the time so most people have heeded the warnings they have made their preparations and they cannot yet breathe
5:14 am
a sigh of relief until this day's long event is over and with the storm moving so slowly it will take some time and in fact it's now actually larger but it was before. most of the coming here on the news hour including south africa's president finally breaks his silence on a time some foreign businesses in this country. there's a new twist in the saga of an iranian oil tanker that was blacklisted by the united states and its port we'll find out which players and made it through to the last 4 of the u.s. so that's all supposed. to the war in yemen now all parties in the conflict including the u.s. france and britain may be involved in the war crimes that's according to a report from the u.n. it accuses the saudi and iran tonight coalition of killing civilians with air strikes and deliberately denying them aid even though the country is on the brink of famine nor blood money hasn't. been an.
5:15 am
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 west some bombs a consistently being used by the coalition the problem with this how do the americans and all those who would 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 the arenas and the saudis i think
5:16 am
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 hoti 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 one piece one of the most devastating airstrikes targeted a wedding party in 2015 killing at least 130 people. and in august last year at least 40 children were killed when a saudi u.a.e. coalition air strike hit the pass in solder. the experts are also concerned the war has taken another complex turn as the saudi backed government and the u.a.e.
5:17 am
back separatists in the south of vying for control of yemen 2nd city aid and parties to the complete. seem incapable of even a breen 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 to lure about him on the out as there are or syrian ally demi is a yemeni activist an assistant professor at michigan state university she says the report reinforces the need for the u.s. to stop supporting the saudi a morality coalition. a report like this is really important and highlights the urgency of extricating ourselves from this war in yemen but it also just repeats what we already know that the people of yemen are suffering at the hands of multiple countries multiple actors and they continue to be bombed in their homes in
5:18 am
their schools in the hospitals in their weddings they continue to be denied aid they are under blockade the airports continue to be shut down so it just highlights the urgency of really finally moving away from supporting the saudi led coalition well they are on completely into intricate to this saudi led coalition's bombing campaign in yemen the saudis and the iraqis don't manufacture their own weapons they don't train their own soldiers they don't tell recently they weren't refueling their their jets mid air so they're relying on us and you can't friend shall weapons and intelligence and military support extensively they will not be able to continue waging war to this extent in yemen without the complete backing of u.s. and u.k. weapons and intelligence it absolutely should be an election issue senator bernie sanders has led the fight to war and our ending the u.s. involvement in the war by passing the war powers resolution we've seen a bipartisan support in the house in the senate for this act unfortunately was
5:19 am
vetoed by president trump who continues to violate the constitution this war it goes against the constitution he is not allowed to continue waging this war without congressional support yet he still manages to do that both he and the child and the obama administration have been violating the constitution in this war so i think it absolutely should be in a campaign issue and every candidate running for president should outline very clearly their plan for ending the war in yemen and they should be held responsible toward ending the war in yemen right away not one of the world's largest retailer says it will stop selling ammunition for hung guns on military style weapons across the united states as a response to a series of mass shootings wal-mart which is also the largest arms seller in the u.s. has been on a pressure to change its policies the company says it will also ask customers not to bring weapons into its stores in so-called open carry states where it's legal to do so. so part of the reason for the change of policy people have been shot inside
5:20 am
its stores on july 31st a disgruntled walmart employee killed 2 coworkers in a store in south haven mississippi a few days later a gunman killed 22 people inside our wal-mart in el paso texas and just 13 hours later there was that mass shooting in dayton ohio as entertainment district where 9 were killed and on saturday 7 people were killed in a desk and midland texas in a drive by shooting and while woman has called the status quo unacceptable the u.s. congress has taken no significant action my kind of has more now from washington d.c. . but move by wal-mart is very significant indeed in the past it's been the country's largest weapons seller and certainly it is regarded as a conservative corporation with very much a conservative clear. what's important to note as well is that this is not a knee jerk reaction those attacks in wal-mart but wal-mart branches took place over a month ago said clearly that the company has been considering this for
5:21 am
a period of time the chief executive officer is also writing a letter to congress urging stricter gun control legislation now that is still up in the year senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he would be willing to introduce new legislation once he knows what president once he says that he does not want to introduce legislation that will then get vetoed by the president well president trump a month ago was talking about stronger background checks but in the wake of the recent shootings he's now reverting to a conversation about mental illness being responsible which is essentially one of the claims made by the pro weapon in our a so the legislation may or may not arrive that we've heard from the senate majority leader it won't get to the senate floor unless the president trump approves whatever that legislation is well jill switzer joins us live now from austin texas and jill is the executive director of texas gun sense that's
5:22 am
a nonprofit organization advocating for policies to reduce gun injuries and deaths jill how significant then is this decision by wal-mart and how much pressure was the company on that to change its guns sales policy. i think it's a very significant decision by wal-mart because wal-mart is ubiquitous in the united states everywhere re community it seems like so decisions that they make have a significant impact across the country and we salute them for making the decision to not allow open carry and to not sell some of the ammunition they had sold in the past and not surprisingly america's powerful gun lobby the national rifle association the n.r.a. has called the will mob decision shameful and said look the company could lose business but how do you think gun owners will react to wal-mart's actions
5:23 am
i don't think that the national rifle association has their hand on the pulse of america people support universal background checks support doing away with salt style weapons and so they had to make some sort of comment. one thing is people go to wal-mart for a whole number of reasons and i don't know that it will make a huge difference for them the limited reductions that they've included in their new plan wal-mart's chief executive doug millen also called on congress to prostrate to gun laws how do you think this is likely to play out politically then . i think that was excellent and perhaps the most important part of what he had to say was to. the u.s. government to make universal policies that would keep americans safer.
5:24 am
and i think that also today kroger grocery store chains so they were not allowed to carry in their stores either and also. u.s. elected officials to make a change let's just finally talk about this open carry issue because wal-mart as you say has even asked his customers not to openly carry weapons into their stores even in states where it's legal to do so but that's not going to stop people who are determined to carry out mass shootings is it. i often hear that argument and. i would say that it applies to any law we make some people can violate the law. but that doesn't mean we don't have responsible policies that keep us safer all right just which i thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. as revealed the official logo for the 2022 world cup with a worldwide media campaign the image was beamed on to buildings all over the world
5:25 am
at the same time with unveilings in capitals company and around the middle east in russia the 2022 low that was welcomed in the capital moscow russia of course was where the last world cup was held and the 2026 world cup will be held in north america the u.s. will co-host the tournament with canada and mexico the logo was unveiled in new york city in the very heart of times square. well magid islands are is a professor of political sociology at consol university he says the unveiling shows that seif is fully behind qatar's hosting of the event despite efforts by neighboring countries to sabotage it. told so. and so the questions about will determine and be held in that light is basically saying to the world the term of the will be held in qatar and now it's advertising that all around the world to cement the idea that regardless of these campaigns launched against. concerning the
5:26 am
. 2022 world cup itself it is a success and to will be a success when it happens here and at that we've seen of course very clearly since day one that there was an attempt by at least saudi arabia the united arab emirates and other countries in the agent to sabotage bit before i got the nomination but also after we got the nomination we've seen a lot of campaigns launched in the u.k. in other countries by locating countries to attempt to sabotage hosting of this world event we've seen of course some of these campaigns go as long as. you know years now as anything to do this but obviously they have failed miserably and we've seen now the fee for once again has assured that i will host this event and that all preparations are in order today they're going to have a committee here in doha said that 75 percent of the work needed to host the event on the various stadiums and other installments is done so we're only 25 percent away from holding the event and certainly this is the
5:27 am
a milestone the new launch the official emblem of the turn them into self i guess at this point in the run up to the self it's it's becoming quite ludicrous that you could actually think of sabotaging the tournament it's very clear that there's international recognition that but i will hold this event all these campaigns especially you know talk about mistreatment of labor and other things has been dissipated now by assurances by international organizations and international rights about is changing for the better in these various you know issues. but also i think that at the current geo strategic climate if you will when it comes to the u.a.e. and saudi arabia they are quite busy with their own issues in the region. yemen over the. now the clash between the u.a.e. and saudi arabia for them to focus on sabotaging this event. and if you're
