10:00 pm
january to avoid any possibility of an. if it passes johnson said to push for a general election that could happen as soon as mid october but it would need 2 thirds of the house of commons to trigger it the government's now lost its working majority and the opposition says it won't back an election until a no deal exit from the e.u. is definitively off the table if the prime minister does to the country what he's done to his party in the past 24 hours i think a lot of people have a great deal to fear from his incompetence his vacillation and his refusal to publish known facts that unknown to him about the effects of a no deal breaker the move by the anti no deal alliance came after the government asked the queen to suspend parliament for a month it could shut down at the start of next week a court challenge in scotland dogging the closure was illegal has been defeated. meanwhile the conservative rebels who backed the bricks it delayed bill have now been expelled from the party one the former chancellor of the exchequer ken clarke
10:01 pm
says he and his colleagues no longer recognise their party. the chip brutality but she treated many of his members party many of whom were never rebel before in their lives as. the negotiator is currently back in brussels as boris johnson's own advisor denies reports he called the talks with the e.u. a sham whatever the case there's little chance of any breaks it outcome bringing a swift end to the uncertainty and the political drama. live to london my colleague lauren sleep is mr johnson looking a little bit more fragile than in the position of prime minister than he was before the votes last night. yes some i mean certainly that's how it's being perceived since since he's now kicked out 21 of his own is an m.p.'s who plainly now have had no obvious allegiance to him and i do think there's
10:02 pm
a view in certain places that is performance and promises questions was less than convincing he was asked countless times what progress he's making with the european union or what they've got to publish the government's own forecasts for what no deal would involve economically and socially another thing and he simply wouldn't say but wanted to focus his attack instead on on the opposition from what he called a pointless extension to the bracks it process and demanded the jeremy corbin say when when when he back in. election so it's a very very it's a place as riven frankly with divisions on the on on on all sides let's take a view from the kind that supports boris johnson they say but it's coverage for the for the fortunes of sporting daily telegraph you know him too what do you make of his performance of promises questions of did you did you think he's sure of his footing at the moment i think the prime minister has really laying down the challenge to labor to try given that it's wanted every day of the week top an
10:03 pm
election to go through with it given that they're trying to corner him to knock down the key plank of his strategy there by forcing him to now go to the people in search of a fresh mandate apartment ready to do business he's then challenging them to put their votes where their miles up but you know the answer to that is that they don't trust him to hold the election in october when he said he's going to well here's what's weird because then last night after the motion secure time for this henry brown anti no deal bill was secured he tried to frame the question very favorably you could argue to labor saying it. he'd imagined it would be just before the 17th european council and it would pose the questions people who today want to go to brussels to deal with e.u. leaders in other words boris johnson which operates on time or german call but who in his words will beg for an extension and endless delay and so i think you're as you alluded to it does touch on the scale of labor distrust clearly the dissolution motion in order to see an election will be debated after they had
10:04 pm
a deal bill is fully considered and so if that goes through the commons then they may think that's a sure it's enough they may think that means they can have the election as boris johnson wants of course as we both know that if the prime minister does get returned with a tory majority his own right you know a little job security legislation absolutely maximum latitude room for maneuver again so then based on that your view would be that labor which has been calling for an election endlessly is now as boris johnson said fritz frightened of having the election at exactly the point in time when when when it could happen before breaks are very much so and i think it's motivated by fear to put it bluntly if they have an election just before boris yeltsin will be able to summon up an unstoppable momentum combining these pictures leavers to henri's accept party voters and keep some tory roommate types on board because they'll say would you rather have a german court has promised or they will say no and stick with the devil they know and then they will win and clobber labor however if they string it out after before
10:05 pm
you 1st then maybe they could dilute the appeal you know is that thank you very much indeed it is it is certainly a fact that sports johnson even if he appears to be short on detail is personally a lot more popular with the public than jeremy corbyn is and for all his problems that remains the best thing he has in his favor at the moment are to lawrence briefly just before you go there interesting conversation that we've just been listening to i mean talking about how people trust or do not trust boris johnson in the 1st job he had in the newspaper industry he was sacked because he told lies about the european union and he was got rid of. well yes yes it is certainly true that boris johnson has has been in sex a number of times as a journalist and there is this very longstanding issue of of his trustworthiness and that that point obviously isn't lost particularly on in european capitals and in and in brussels and also told actually by
10:06 pm
a so that german television here we're broadcasting from is questions live themselves and there is i think this fascination in europe now with boris johnson's performance as prime minister and i think they're weighing up the extent to which they can trust what he says and so if for example he says we are closer to reaching a deal then they can actually weigh those comments he's making against their own understanding of whether deals any closer to be reached but the moment i think it is the case that in europe they they really don't trust him very much at all ok thanks very much talk to you later. plenty more ground still to cover here on the news hour for you including 5 u.s. states declare an emergency as hurrican dorrian close enough to devastate in the bahamas plus. the rise of reusable were in pakistan to find out what it's doing to cut back on single plastic needs and the sport as world champion sprinter has a major scare ahead of the world or less exchange with santa

a little bit from. iran says it's willing to recommit to the 2050 nuclear deal but only if it gets $15000000000.00 for oil sales in return the plan was proposed by france in a bid to salvage the agreement but that proposal needs to be approved by the united states more now to see the big garmin aai we haven't reached the final agreement yet we have set a framework from now to the end of the year with french officials they say they took to the other european countries and the united states we have nothing to do with it we're dealing with france vet represents the e.u. it is unlikely that we'll reach the final deal by tomorrow so i will take the 3rd step in reducing our commitment to the nuclear deal either today or tomorrow well iran says it will release 7 crew members from a british land oil tanker that it seized in july the case of the stand impera which
10:08 pm
was taken in the straits of hormuz is now making its way through the country's court it was stopped after an iranian flag tanker was detained by the british territory of gibraltar the tanker owner says it's awaiting official confirmation of the release date for such a body has more now from tehran. it appears now the future of the nuclear agreement of 2015 is in the hands of french government and president emanuel micron whether or not he can convince the united states government to come on board with the proposal that they have put forth to the iranians their main ians have said that this $15000000000.00 line of credit that the french government is proposing for the sale of iranian oil is something that would actually help them and they would consider going back to the original agreement of 2015 the reigning president hassan rouhani has said that in fact the negotiations are ongoing about this deal but the final agreement hasn't been reached yet the and this is exactly why the uranium so
10:09 pm
will announce in the next 48 hours the 3rd step that they will take in reducing their compliance under the nuclear deal and the ukrainian president has said that this step will be the most important that they've taken because it will advance the country's nuclear program all this comes at a time when iran and washington have had a lot of issues and heightened tensions in this region the iranians have said that since the united states withdrew from the nuclear deal last year and imposed a series of sanctions on iran's oil and banking sector there has been instability there to create it in this region and now it is up to the french government to try and see if they can salvage this steal their french finance minister has been in washington on tuesday to push this deal and try to get the u.s. on board because the united states will have to finally approve this issue waivers since they've imposed these sanctions on iran's banking and oil sector. the united nations is preparing to evacuate more displaced syrians from
10:10 pm
a remote camp along the border with jordan it's almost 15000 people however the u.n. says call for them refusing to leave despite the dial living conditions that xina holder explains why. the last time aid reached this. shift camp was in february rock band is close to the border with jordan and this besieged by the syrian army which decides if and when food and medicine reaches the thousands of people inside the united nations describes the situation is desperate and says conditions are abysmal but it can't do anything without the approval of the authorities in damascus. we were told 2 days ago that the u.n. and will deliver aid either on the 4th or the 5th of september since february we have received only a small amounts of food and medicine through smuggling routes but they are not enough and too expensive. a u.n. team visited the camp in august but its mission was only to determine how many
10:11 pm
people remained inside and who wanted to leave the organization says it is planning to help those wanting to return voluntarily to government held territory. brooke bandcamp was estimated to accommodate about $40000.00 syrians in recent months the u.n. says almost half have left for syrian government controlled areas it believes some $15000.00 remain and it survey showed nearly half don't want to leave. we didn't register with the u.n. to return to regime here is un couldn't give us guarantees they told us they can't guarantee what happens when we leave reception seem to us the syrian government is effectively giving the people in rock band no option but to return to areas under the state's control or starve the dire conditions are believed to be the reason why many have left despite human rights groups saying some of those who have gone are being detained and ill treated. we have been able to
10:12 pm
document the detention of at least $37.00 men who left rock band to government controlled areas these people were arrested and taken to intelligence branches in damascus and homes also they are forcing men to join the army in a month or 2 it was agreed that they would be given 6 months. many. syrians want safe passage to opposition controlled areas in the north and if they can't get it they want regular food and medical aid the un says it cannot make any promises as it is an observer in the repatriation process and doesn't have restricted access to return nice so many who are staying say they have to as they are left with no choice so for their ashes into beirut aurukun durian is slowly moving closer to the u.s. after a devastating much of the bahamas 7 people died on the islands and the prime minister says that number is likely to rise and gallacher reports now from florida . as hurricane dorian edges away from the bahamas a clearer picture of its devastating power is
10:13 pm
a merging grand 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 who were transported to new programs. 2
10:14 pm
has already succumbed average take the number of deaths of 7 and again i want to assure. and informed beam in population that we can expect more of deaths to be recorded 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 and hoping that by being so early with our profile up aeration they will all be invade it we will not have needed to do much of 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
10:15 pm
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 alec rogers era indian river city florida. ok let's go to gray who's live for us in savannah in the u.s. state of georgia are they all prepared for dorian's arrival. if they're not peter it's too late to carry out those preparations we've had a band of rain move through and it's just going to get progressively worse the conditions over the next several hours here we're right in the middle of that forecast path and most here in savannah who have been told to evacuate it looks
10:16 pm
like they have for the most part there are those who are going to ride this out and we've seen plenty of them but yesterday they actually loaded buses up and moved people who didn't have another way out into shelters outside of the potential strike zone here we'll see this storm continue to move mirroring the coast and if it does make landfall it looks like at this point peter it would be by the end of the week and that would be in the outer banks of north carolina is the expectation that once it gets there or north of where you are it will be as strong as it was when it swept to the bahamas right. no i just don't think it's going to have the time more the energy to intensified to that magnitude in fact it's been losing a bit of its steam an and certainly some of the to organization the eye wall not as organized as it used to be but the storm itself has spread out so it may affect more communities but not nearly as powerful is what they saw on the bahamas and
10:17 pm

10:21 pm
british prime minister boris johnson's in the middle of a major parliamentary showdown over breakfast that m.p.'s are set to vote on a motion which would block a new deal bricks it at the end of october passes mr johnson has said he'll call general election iran says it's willing to recommit to the 2050 nuclear deal but only if it gets $15000000000.00 for oil sales in return now the plan was proposed by france in a bid to salvage the accord that proposal needs to be approved by the united states . has president on all trumped diverse in $3600000000.00 from military projects towards the construction of his wall along the border with mexico more than $120.00 projects will lose funding mr truong declared a national emergency earlier this year in a bid to fund the border wall which he promised to build during the 2016 presidential election campaign ok let's take a closer look now at his proposed border wall for which congress has already refused to provide the $5700000000.00 mr trump wanted approving less than
10:22 pm
a quarter of that nearly 1000 kilometers of the wall already exists mr trump promised to build around 2000 more but so far only existing sections of been replaced and as mr trump fights to get funding for his wall the number of people detained at the us mexico border has risen this year more than 760000 been detained since last october but that still fewer than a decade ago jonathan parker is a senior lecturer in american politics at kiel university in the u.k. he joins us from staffordshire john parker how significant is this that they're going to. the money part of the military here. well he's just raising the stakes at this stage he's actually done a fight where he's going to take the money he's been bluffing congress essentially to try to get them to fund more money to the military to make sure that he's got the funding for the wall through the backdoor so how do you think congress might
10:23 pm
react to this. well there's the big question nancy pelosi has come out is strongly against it but it would of course when the military gets shortchanged you know it's going to be bases in their states it's going to be the efforts in afghanistan it's going to be a big big high stakes game here and so the question is who gets blamed when we have government shutdowns the past trump has been blamed and so i would suspect the democrats are going to assume that's going to happen again so i would think congress is going to get seals and refused to fund a $127.00 projects we think are going to be directly affected does that mean they're going to be scrapped killed off or just have to take a little bit of a hades in this financial year. where we don't really know i mean this would be an ongoing effort so you would you would slowly take money out of them and in trump's calling it a delay in the funding so he's assuming congress will come back and put that money
10:24 pm
back but of course all of these efforts are bogged down in the courts there's a series of lawsuits that are going forward trump is one some of them he's lost some of them so it's very unclear whether the can be allowed to do this but he had to grudgingly accept what the congress gave him they didn't give him what he wanted because he had to end the government shutdown that's the reality and in that regard he reacted to the government shutdown as he should have done. well you know easy the congress made a deal with them he signed the budget where they didn't give him the money for the wall and now he's trying to go through the backdoor and raid the military budget to pay for it and the question is whether that's cost to show not so i mean this is something that the public is against it something his own party is against the democrats are certainly united against it so he's really flying in the face of just about everyone except his base so it's a big question about whether he'll get away with it do you think they'll try and
10:25 pm
spin this as being a positive thing do i mean does does it color or does it change the complection of the wall if it's funded by the military could it be spun by the likes of kellyanne conway for example i can see her saying well it's a military project we're keeping you not just safe but we're keeping you safe because it's military money. well i mean they're going to try to dress it up as best they can but nobody believes them i mean that the public opinion polls are clear the public don't want the wall they are very they recognize the fact that there is no emergency he's completely made it up and in fact you could use the money really more effectively elsewhere i mean they're taking the money from drug interdiction efforts so it really is making the country less safe to build a vanity project everyone knows it's that and he wants a victory he wants to be able to say he symbolically did it before he runs for reelection ok jonathan parker will leave it there many thanks there's going for
10:26 pm
