to be able to talk about libya right that's your true ok let me bring you back into the conversation and to the subject of our discussion today how do you see drones changing the future of warfare well we see states or and on state actors are more willingly to acquire them to develop them and to use them in their military operations so this is also because there's less epididymis to to deploy troops because of the political risk involved and still there is a perception that deploying drones will create a solution but i do targeting the groups or for surveillance so it will change warfare in the sense that we see more likely more use of remote force but less likely a long term solution where there is actually like drones can replace the diplomacy as we've seen for example in the case of of potentially deploying to drones through to persian gulf and nothing that sends yeah it's an ability that

will be taken up it's an also attending technology for states to deploy and therefore i think that's also in the line with recommendations by un special rapporteur sent also to have been various discussions inside the united nations and multilateral debates. how do we create a normal around the use over most violence because drones facilitate that and how can states clearly defined boundaries of the battlefield clearly define what kind of rules regulations apply to the use of force and also how do we create more transparency and accountability for states who want to remove use this kind of remote violence in their military operations or counterterrorism operations i think that's where we currently discussing is and for example last week parks to get over distance and center united states in the u.s. we organized. a meeting with states in geneva to discuss like for example arms export controls for drones because as i mentioned you have military type of drones there for. copters like civilian drones but it does mark it's

a blurring market of technology and states who according to those and we've seen it in yemen for example were those rooms at ports and components from greece from germany can order them from ali baba dot com and easily can assemble them and right will be very difficult for states to control this technology from prevent misuse by states and also dr so you say difficult for states to control the technology as i want to ask you a question that a lot of people of course you know ask themselves technologies out there and it's being refined on a day to day basis but how do we get to the problem that a system with high levels of general artificial intelligence could decide one day that it doesn't need to follow the rules of human operators and will do what it thinks it's best there is also that aspect isn't it. well yes there is that i spoke to another aspect in a very crude sensors and the capabilities available now but what we do with that is

really as we would do with any system the designer and the operator that sets that system into motion is responsible for its behavior and so that legal debate that we've discussed on is very important certainly in the long term and we also understand in answer to your previous question that these. these drones will be used in over increasingly different ways certainly in militaries are going to be very likely using them in swarms so it's large numbers of small drones deployed by air craft manned aircraft and acting in hundreds maybe thousands against other state forces we will see i think a greater number of these drones being used by non-state actors for the same sort of purposes intelligence surveillance reconnaissance command and control and targeting and in that area terrorism and crime i think we will see the greatest growth of these drones particularly. we will see security

forces and police forces deploying anti drone capabilities for a capability that i don't want to discuss here but right are potentially hugely dangerous to the public we will leave it there unfortunately because we've run out of time thank you so very much for a very interesting discussion with him is why number in amsterdam absolute in the u.k. and glenn car in boston thank you very much gentlemen and thank you for watching you can always watch this program again any time by this ng our web site al-jazeera dot com for further discussion go to our facebook page at facebook dot com for slash 80 inside story and of course also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story from me for you back to when the whole team thank you for watching by for now. thank. my. my.

not you know just your life from a headquarters and. also ahead iran says it may consider staying in the nuclear deal if the french offer a $15000000000.00 bailout is agreed. 5 u.s. states declared emergency as hurricane dorian closes in after devastating the bahamas plus. the road to 2022 cats are unveils the logo for its feet world cup beaming it out in several parts of the world. below the british prime minister boris johnson is bracing for another showdown in parliament after his breakfast strategy suffered a humiliating defeat meant to set to vote on a motion later on wednesday which would block a no deal bracks at october 31st it could also delay britain's exit from the e.u. by 3 more months but the prime minister has come back fighting threatening to call

for a snap election if m.p.'s vote against him johnson has kicked out 21 members of his own party after they voted against him to seize control of the parliamentary agenda and the government has lost its working majority in parliament or is johnson's cabinet as assembling now for a crisis meeting before what's expected to be another dramatic day in british politics barker begins archive. from. 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 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. yards to the right 328 a nurse the left 301 on tuesday evening m.p.'s voted to take control of parliamentary business thought it could stop forests 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 on october the 15th if he's going to morrow to stop 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 a deal i know the 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 opera house the house of lords on its journey into law but there are no 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 see 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 this confounded the country and the continent is whether we're approaching a breakthrough for knowledge or simply another cliffhanger. call a general election alone he 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 to fighting for the right to determine britain's breaks of future. parker al-jazeera london lawrence is joining us from london so we'll wait to see how today and for laurence about looking back what do you think prompted the signs of the rebellion against boris johnson in the government's. yeah i mean the story of the morning is the melt down of the of the conservative policy in the unbelievably brutal way in which downing street says delts with those twins he won can so i was vend pays to who

defied the orders from the from from the government's a vote with them and they were all so that though they were all phones or are the told by text message in one case solved so woods that they were going to be diesel exits and if x. a be their political risen plate khorasan saw the because i was a body where ova summarily dismissed if you like week we can say this that this him pictures of of cabinets a arriving in downing street in the point that these conservative rebels of been making is well at least 8 members of the current can say i was have cabaniss voted repeatedly against the foam a prime minister three's a may at in his series of votes when she was trying to get breck's it's room and they kept their jobs and yet these conservative rebels who voted against the government loss nights were just basically strung up as as a results of its and the unbelievably brutal way which the government has dealt with them i think i think we're actually harden their result because that just source he was so comprehensively unfair of of the government to deal with them in

this way and he when the bullet is it you ation where where people at nicholas soames a real conservative grand the the grandson a winston churchill does not affect silly been sacked as a can said to them the body but by boris johnson an all you can say is signals of from from the johnson camp that overwhelming desire to do exactly what they say they want to sue which is to baba no dissents a tall to their view the the u.k. as to leave the european union by the end of october but in doing so they're breaking their own policy apart and it's an extraordinarily dangerous strategy which we could i think very much backfire on them not just in the event of an election but in all these votes as to when and if they're going to be able to hold an election it's all young lawrence and you were just mentioning the life there of the ministers arriving to boris johnson's cabinet meeting in front of 10 downing street just talk us through what we expect to see today because it's expected to be another dramatic day. so that the

opposition and the conservative rebels in in coalition now have control of the parliamentary agenda and they through the rest of the day are going to try to push through this bill that blocks boris johnson from leaving the european union with with or without any deal by by the end of october boris johnson after that will then as you heard in these reports call for a vote to hold an election he says not so but the 15th now the problem he's got now is that if he wants to do that he's got to get a 2 thirds majority of parliament and not only plainly will those conservative rebels say no we're not doing that either but the labor party the main opposition has already indicated this morning that it won't support any election until the legislation to block no deal has gone through and that's going to be next monday so boris johnson has now effectively totally lost control of his own agenda and all the power for the time being at least rests in the hands of the opposition the

question is going to arise by next monday assuming this bill does pass then if the opposition agree to holding an election at all in the middle of october on boris johnson's terms or if they even try and block it then and if they try and do that then i think the government could be in danger of collapsing ok lawrence thank you for that update from monger. iran says it's willing to recommit to the 2050 nuclear deal but only if it gets $15000000000.00 for oil sales and return that plan was proposed by fronts in a bid to salvage the agreement the proposal will need the approval of the united states. joining us from tehran what's the latest proposal by the french governments actually mean for iran and any response from iranian officials. while at their rain we've heard from the iranian president hassan rouhani who's been speaking at his weekly cabinet meeting he says that it is unlikely that the iranians will see

a proposal that is agreeable to them in the next 48 hours that's because they've set another deadline for the european signatories to uphold their end of the deal under the nuclear agreement that will run out by friday the president said that iran will go ahead and take the 3rd step in scaling back its commitment under the nuclear deal and that this 3rd step that iran will announce then will be a big advancement towards iran's nuclear program now the feeling here is that the negotiations are ongoing with the french government about this $15000000000.00 credit line that's been proposed is something that the rain is with well come if the united states approves this that's because the u.s. government withdrew from the deal last year and the imposed a series of sanctions on iran's oil and banking sector the main point of contention for iran is that they are not able to sell their oil which is their number one exports and they have access to those revenues so this proposal could be a slight relief from those sanctions but the iranians say that the french are

working towards getting that kind of approval from the u.s. government but it they're not very optimistic that president trump will approve this in the end and also there's a bit of development on the crew of the british tanker detained in july that's still in iranian custody what can you tell us. well we've just heard from the foreign ministry spokesperson of us moussavi who said that that the a 7 member crew members of the 23 that are on board the semi impera that was seized by the revolutionary guards in the strait of hormuz on july 19th will be released now the ship that is that was seized is going through a judicial process in the country because the revolutionary guards say they seized this vessel because it had a number of violations international maritime violations in the strait of hormuz and that's why they seized that the 1st being that it had turned off its tracking

devices a 2nd that it was traveling in the wrong direction and 3rd that it came into contact in a small accident with a ship a fishing boat in those waters this vessel has been docked at the port city up on that bus since it was seized and the iranians have said that it has to go through the official judicial channels before they decide on its fate and when it could be released but the 7 crew members of the $23.00 are now free to go is some time in the new future they didn't specify when they would leave the nationalities we don't know yet if the number of crew members on board they are from russia thailand and india nationalities as far as we understand the 7 that have been allowed to leave apparently have been allowed to leave because of humanitarian reasons and they didn't specify what those reasons were specifically so this is where we are with that vessel and of course the seizure of this tanker came only 2 weeks after the british navy sees that the grace one super sized oil tanker in the strait of

gibraltar that has since been released and it is now 70 kilometers just west of the syrian port city of church that was seized by the europeans because they said that it was in violation of e.u. sanctions against the syrian government all these where as a result of heightened tensions between tehran and washington and that is the point of the iranians here make on a regular basis that the united states withdrawal from the nuclear agreement has had some very very hard consequences for everybody involved. think you for that update from the home hurrican durian is slowly moving closer to the u.s. softer devastating much of the bahamas the struction there has been described as a historic tragedy 7 people.
