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 any peace vote tomorrow to stop the 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 tom parliament. there is no consent in this house to leave the european union without a deal. no majority for no deal in the congress. or 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
4:01 pm
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 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 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. al-jazeera london.
4:02 pm
well let's cross over to london and bring in lawrence just preview for us lawrence what we expect to see today. yes well certainly that the sort of the morning here is absolutely the sense of recrimination inside the conservative policy and in particular the brutal way in which the conservative rebels were dealt with by by by downing street some joined by some by a cell would consider them pay for the front office minister of defense in france minister as well. you've said to me in the past several times how concerned you are about the possibility of a no deal brecht's it's and yet you had to end up voting with the government's last nights and not with the rebels did you do that with a heavy hearts i did indeed i remain very concerned about no deal it will be damage our security outlook it would hit us economically and also reputation lee britain is a country that participates in world activities into c.s.
4:03 pm
sort of want to sort of go into recluse i don't think will be good for britain but we are faced with this big question the fundamental question the parliament cannot agree and how do we square that circle we need to get it across the line and the question is if you had more time well how do you choose to walk could you do in the more time between now and christmas that you can do immediately. how much pressure did the government machine put on use of oats because they must've assumed that you might end up rebelling even though it was said you the consensus that's absolutely right but i look at the chronology of events in the next few weeks amazingly we had a prime minister metz macro and merkel in the last few weeks i was given a window of opportunity to withdraw the game we were told was close you cannot reinvestigate you cannot go back into that and they said actually yes you can surprise us but does he have a plan well this is what we need to find out and it will be presented if he won't tell anybody what it is no doubt but he will be forced to by the 17th of october
4:04 pm
which is in the next european summit that for me is the big line in the sand that's when we will know whether we're sailing towards no deal or we've managed to do the unthinkable which is square that circle and get a reasonable deal to leave your opinion what do you think about the way in which they dealt with the rebels i mean there's 8 cabinet ministers of the moment who voted against a reason mase governance and yet these people those against government once and the history i've been reasonable our party is about a sense of competition of ideas it's about people being able to express themselves of course you have to have discipline in any and any party itself but the idea that the grandson of churchill is kicked out or threatened to be laid sound nicholas soames is kicked out of the conservative party and others form a chanceless as well and members of the privy council i'm really an uneasy about that i wore a about the overall trajectory of where i can said party we go we must be a moderate center right fiscally responsible tolerant party and we must never lose sight of that but then trained ah it looks like the conservatives now reversing
4:05 pm
itself into the bricks of policy because it's so worried about about losing seats to them in the electoral that isn't where i want to go and i'll fight against that i want to be a party that not in appeals to our basic conservatism but also to the wider country as well that's how we get elected and that's also how we are able to peel and take a leadership role on the international stage. in places like the gulf did you expect just just very briefly do you expect this to be an election now let's have the 15th i expect is very likely now i think we would the prime minister last night indicated that's where he wants to go ultimately when parliament can't decide the reset button is a general election that's what we do in this country and perhaps that's overdue is to actually allow the nation the people to decide to make up of this base and hopefully then we can get bricks across the line 1st thank you very much indeed for all those observations so that decision if there is to be election doesn't look likely to happen so not because labor party has said that it won't support boris johnson's demand for one it will the labor will only do it's once
4:06 pm
a no to legislation got through next monday so next monday is now i think looking like the key marker in the in the in the timeline ok lawrence for the time being thank you for that update from london iran says it's willing to recommit to the 23 nuclear do you know but only if it gets $15000000000.00 for all cells in return plan was proposed by france in a bid to salvage the agreement but that proposal will need the approval of the united states let's bring in dorset jabari joining us from toronto how likely is it that this french proposal actually goes ahead. well there even we know now from the iranian president that this deal is not likely to come to any kind of fruition in the coming days it's not going to happen in time to prevent iran from taking another step in scaling back its commitment to the nuclear agreement the iranian president hassan rouhani has been speaking following his weekly cabinet meeting where he said that's the europeans have not done enough
4:07 pm
in time for iran to not take this next step this 3rd step is in line with the number of 60 day preet periods which the president had set for the european signatories to show that they are truly committed to this nuclear agreement they rainin president said that this 3rd step that will be announced likely in the next 24 hours is not going to be a shocking one but it's a very crucial one it will advance that country's nuclear program he's hinting at what we're expecting to be announced by their countries atomic energy organization now the iranian deputy foreign minister has been in paris on monday where he held a 10 hour meeting with french officials to come up with this plan where it would see that the french government would put $150000000000.00 into some kind of a line of credit for iran to be able to sell its oil on the international market now we are all here because the united states withdrew from the nuclear agreements
4:08 pm
last year and imposed a series of sentients on iran's oil and banking sector of course or oil is the number one export of iran the country's budgets the government's budget is made up of oil revenue so it's been very very hard for iran to actually make up for the losses that's come from the sentients the iranians have said that they are not willing to renegotiate the steel which is what the americans want they said that the europeans have to try and find a way around this and this proposal by the french government is the latest in a round of attempts by officials to try and find a way around these u.s. sanctions but of course for this to actually happen. and the united states government will have to give its approval they did this in may of 2018 imposing a series of sanctions on iran's oil sector but they issued a number of waivers to 8 countries that were heavily reliant on importing uranian oil but those waivers run out in may of this year and that is why we're here today they are waiting writes continue to scale back their commitments until there is
4:09 pm
a solution around the sanctions and just briefly let me ask you about developments on the crew off the british tanker that's still in iranian custody what can you tell us about well these steno imperiled was seized in the strait of hormuz by the revolutionary guards on july 19th they said that it was in violation of a number of maritime laws but the 23 crew members on board were never rest said they were just detained with the ship that sits in the port city up on their a bus and we've heard this morning from the foreign ministry spokesperson who said that based on humanitarian reasons 7 of the 23 crew members will be allowed to leave. the update from to hunt thank you. hurricane dorian a slowly moving closer to the u.s. after devastating much of the bahamas the destruction there has been described as a historic tragedy 7 people are dead and a prime minister says that number is likely to rise and the gallagher reports from
4:10 pm
florida are more than a 1000000 people are under evacuation orders. as hurricane dorian edges away from the bahamas a clearer picture of its devastating power is a merging ground the harbor 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 and 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 we are priority not just for the red cross 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 but saving those stranded by one of the most powerful storms recorded is a priority of the 25 individuals they were transported to new programs. to has already succumbed. i've read take the number of deaths of 7 and again i want to assure and informed being human population that we can expect more of deaths to be recorded 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. close georgia and the carolinas remain on high alert and many residents of heeded warnings to prepare for the worst and hoping that by being so early with our profile for a chanst they will all be invade it we will block it leave it to do much of
4:12 pm
florida's east coast remains under hurricane watch in there is still a danger of high gusts of wind storms wells coming in from the atlantic ocean but if the track stays as it is predicted the storm should be about 170 kilometers off the 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 alec rogers era indian river city florida still had on al-jazeera south africa's president breaks his silence condemning attacks on soaring nationals . the road to 2022 qatar unveils the logo for its face the world cup beaming it out in several parts of the world.

in my if you go on al-jazeera. have a win on the top stories on al-jazeera british prime minister boris johnson is threatening to call for a snap election if employees go against him on wednesday parliament is voting on a motion which would block a no deal breck said on october 31st. iran's deputy foreign minister has confirmed the country would return to the nuclear deal commitment but only if it receives $15000000000.00 for oil sales the deal was proposed by france at a bid to salvage the agreement. hurricane dorian is moving towards the southeast
4:16 pm
united states after hitting the bahamas as a category 5 storm at least 7 people were killed there and homes have been flattened. local media is reporting that hong kong's chief executive. the former withdrawal of a controversial extradition the proposals months of mass demonstrations across the territory it would have allowed people in hong kong to be sent to mainland china to face trial the move was met with widespread anger and did suspend but the protest movement has grown into a bigger call for democracy let's bring in adrian brown he's joining us from hong kong so when do we expect. reported official announcement to be made. well daryn this keenly anticipated announcement from kerry is according to local media juice some time in the next 30 minutes or so about 6 pm local time here in hong kong it's been widely reported that kerry is going to announce that she's
4:17 pm
going to officially withdraw this contentious piece of legislation the extradition bill busy remember this is what she wanted to introduce back in early june as a result of that the people of hong kong took to the streets in unprecedented numbers she in a sense misunderstood just how deep the feeling was against this proposed legislation now a few weeks after she presented it she again dug the heels in but said rather than you know saying i'm going to formally withdraw the bill she said the bill is now dead but what she was in fact playing was really a game of semantics because as any legal expert will tell you something like this is only dead when it's been formally withdrawn now up until just a few days ago carol lam still seem to be saying she had no intention of withdrawing this bill and that is because almost certainly the leadership in beijing her told her to make no concessions to yield no ground to the protesters
4:18 pm
the fact that she's now prepared to do this well who knows why what the real reason is potentially perhaps the leadership in beijing is trying to buy itself some peace and quiet in the weeks leading up to the all important october the 1st celebrations when china marks 70 years of its birth well to throw more light on this and the fact that kerry is set to make this important announcement i'm joined by pony long a civil rights activist and organizer of 3 of the approved marches against the extradition bill the announcement hasn't been made yet but what do you feel about the fact that it seems likely it's going to be withdrawn well if it's really as restart at least i think protests. this can celebrate for just a bit but it's long and it's not sufficient because this campaign is already beyond extradition bail is about we see police brutality every single day and these police
4:19 pm
officers go off easily broke the law and caught on camera have no legal consciousness no at all not facing any trials at all so it is important for people to have an independent inquiry just roughly investigate everything but it's going to be a circuit breaker will it be enough to end the protest you think well at least if these 2 months and a proper investigation being sat we will count down bits bobs hong kong people we have our bottom line is universal suffrage is promised so just withdrawing the extradition bill will not be enough to stop the process you think no i don't think so about at least we want to see everything to count down a bit and the government's actually tarot the police officers to stop using unnecessary patella to unnecessary bolland's alright if let's say kerry were to say alright i will agree to an independent inquiry into all aspects of the violence by the protesters by the police all through the violence has subsided after the
4:20 pm
violence stops would that be enough do you think well it will depend on the people because the slogans that the people are chanting and dole is to buy 2000000 people is 5 demands no less if they go one day we'll do a sufficient things to count people a lot step out and then people will automatically discuss amount outsells we should stop the movement if we should go home if that's happened well why not but we are not saying that's happening any time soon tony leung thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera just one other footnote to out here during we have been told now that the chairman of cathay pacific john slow so has resigned so another corporate scope with cathay pacific remember in just the past 2 weeks the chief executive and his. deputy have been forced to resign that seems to me that that is the price that cathay pacific is going to have to pay for doing business in china because of course beijing has accused cathay pacific of not doing enough to speak
4:21 pm
out against the protests saying that some of that stuff the taken part in some of those anti extradition demonstrations back to you during a dream thank you south africa's president has condemned the recent attacks on foreign owned businesses of these the 100 people have been arrested or i'm a toss up has more from johannesburg. police in south africa try again to stop writing and looting in some poor neighborhoods in and around johannesburg it's been like this since sunday some of the businesses and shops are vandalized belong to foreign nationals this is not the 1st time mohamed atta hussein has been through this he says his other stall in another part of the city was looted last if you see something like this. how can a dragon. make something for my kidneys on my children it's on my parents is day. of the like not for a crime or whatever. only for. some time africans believe criminal gangs are
4:22 pm
responsible for the violence mario says he got a phone call aly in the morning that his business was being looted but it was too dangerous for him to move now that it's relatively quiet he's come back to assess the damage are still falling people still looting as are all of you with the police presence and all that to say that it's not about. a 14 foot in the shop on the side if a citizen blois said if you see people that worked for me in the shop and they told me it's just to be a community effect it could be another running at a loss of i'm without words i don't know what else to say. some say the country's high unemployment rate now nearly a 30 percent white space poverty and inequality are to blame for the violence. in 2008 at least 60 people were killed and more than 50000 forced from their homes when many foreign african nationals were targeted 4 years ago at least 7 people
4:23 pm
were killed some of the africans feel they are competing with outsiders for scarce jobs. human rights groups say anti immigrant comments made by some politicians are making things worse they said xenophobic sentiment underlying this about foreign us everything to leave we are a democracy we are a democratic society we cannot allow people to take the law into their own ends and there is no country that doesn't have for a measure now the president still has condemned the attacks as in a phobic and an acceptable more than 100 people have been arrested for public violence us and looting but in some areas the police seem overwhelmed making it easy for some people to stay in the street. china's. results president is refusing to give additional land to indigenous tribes terrible sonars government could also council approvals that have already been given all this comes as some
