johnson must now ask for an extension or he has to get a deal but the e.u. has rejected any attempts to renegotiate johnson says he'd rather die in a ditch than ask for a delay the prime minister says the only way out is an early election and that's far from guaranteed live to westminster in a moment 1st this report from charlie rangel. looking for a breakthrough on bret's it. boris johnson is in dublin making last minute appeals to his irish counterpart over the backstop of the insurance policy to avoid a hard border between ireland and northern ireland after brics it for a man who last week had britain on course for a no deal breck's it his message was more diplomatic. i want to get a deal like you i've looked carefully at no deal i've assessed its consequences both for our country and and yours yes of course we could do it the u.k. could certainly get through it but be in no doubt that outcome would be

a failure of statecraft for which we would be responsible for the behind the smiles there is tension irish prime minister veronica says there will be no concessions on the irish border issue and ireland would support an extension to the brics that deadline. the backstop continues to be a critical component of the withdrawal agreement unless and until alternatives are found. but we are open to alternatives but they must be realistic ones legally binding unworkable and we haven't received such opposes today's meanwhile in westminster jeremy corbett and other opposition leaders met to plan their next steps. on monday a bill designed to block an exit deal becomes law m.p.'s will then vote on government plans to trigger an early election but that vote is expected to fail boris johnson is then obliged to write to the e.u.

asking for an extension if he can present an acceptable deal to parliament by october 19th but the government says he will not request that extension. the prime minister is still promising to deliver direct hit by october 31st he says he has ideas but he has yet to share them with parliament or the media we're heading towards a general election probably no october but november and he's working through that prism i think actually the way the government looking at it is if you look at the focus groups how the polling with the public when you get out of westminster a lot of people are behind bars in the way he's going to frame his look are trying to are trying to keep my promise parliament stop me therefore i was forced to go to the election both sides are up against the clock parliament has just hours before the shutdown for 5 weeks while the prime minister has just 40 days to come up with a new deal a deal that brussels has yet to see. al-jazeera london. and in the past 10 minutes or so there have been

a lot of praise in this house of commons right now for that man on screen john bercow the speaker of the house who has announced he will be stepping down lawrence sleazy. joining us from outside westminster to tell us. why how does this happen is it expected how does that play into the the bigger picture. what. he's been doing if only 10 years and he's and he's and he said he'd step down in the summer apparently but he's now saying is a step down at 731st which is the date that is going to happen and you know since since the circus bill is epic glory rolls rolled into town burke has become something of an international celebrity really the world's been looking for the gold and all the comings and goings inside parliament is only a short man but has this enormous voice which he projects at all the m.p.'s and the holders of the wealth fund funds the whole thing quite transfixing the think but in his remarks when he announced his resignation he did really cut to the hearts of what the problem is about those that those people who supports it's say look it was

it was a popular vote it was a referendum it was a public decision and it should be up to politicians at all to get in the way of it it should only be up to the executive the government so you execute the will of the people and yet all the a lot of politicians in there say well hang on we want to have a say in all this as well and they get accused of getting in the way but certainly in his remarks perko made made it very clear as he has done over and over again that he's been prepared to allow politicians their view since he thinks that they might have a better idea of what's going on potentially than the public too if this is how he put it anyway these he's a wonderful place through all the overwhelming rate by people who are motivated by their. notion of the national interest by their perception of the public good. and by then do you

see. not as delegates. but as representatives. to do what they believe is right for our country. we grade this parliament. our peril. so let's see what's a sabbat it says approximately as if the daily telegraph thinks about a listen we're going to go on a limb and make a suggestion that you'll not the world's greatest fan of john would not be right well john buchan gave the most john bercow resignation speech possible that was all about him trying to steal the spotlight and he used about a 1000000 or so words one or 2 could work you know wasn't to the point very much and yet clearly had his eye on the history books because he's big john bercow the bracks it speaker who's presided over the house of commons you do all this chew

mult and infuriated bricks tears and remain as alike in his various judgements that you think he got in the way of bricks is being accomplished using both certainly he's shown that when the remains were down or bend the rules not way he's really help them get one over the government's not normally meant and he breaks initiatives and moves in the book clearly someone who's publicly could shasta having voted for main even though back in the early days the eighty's ninety's he was. absolutely the shows the comedian he is slippery cozying up to the top laborites he wants their votes and now you know that who knows what to do next and even in his resignation speech he called me resigning properly it's full of small print saying i will leave october 31st or whatever the next election is whichever is sooner and even then of course given where we are now if that's all delayed he may be a year to the new year you never know with. ok well anyway meanwhile that's parliamentary business do you think that the government should publish all its documents this

thing called operation yellow and yes i'm a live what will. what it does in the events of no deal should have put those out to the public that people can see within it like well that the government has decided no pressure to not release them to the exits children will too scary but it should be done time people want to know if they should be storing food and things like that it's interesting i mean oversell i'm just i'm not minister right now to have a choice so if you want to get people ready for the deal to be frank and you know if you'll show your the afraid to show why you're not afraid but then clearly based on you thinking hang on then the face say that if you are the head of the government says this will happen this up people misunderstand it was on the site public alarms so they're hiding something doesn't this look of the hiding the worst of what might happen i can't stand that charge in the same way i guess is what people rely on boris johnson the ministers to project confidence and calm and response all the same because you know they can say they've seen it beryl writes you know they know privately so tearing their hair out of our stuff sure as heck is not going asshole and so this calm hopefully from the government. parliament doesn't sit for 5 full weeks do you think that's enough tons of boris johnson is

going to do from the european union front tonight. basically leslie trying to trusted up to 3 of them a deal printed on different paper say look it's fundamentally different than the seasonal is a line like if you're going to stop courses around is fundamentally different as far as jobs to go sheets deal i mean look at the law of the land of the ribbon bill that would be all right that would mean he would have to ask for a delay the process otherwise you have to rely on cummings in the team saying they have different interpretations who knows what i mean we reported to reveal today that they had one with no idea to send to the apostle saying 1st it's a 5 extension please that's the pilot and the 2nd one saying that even or yeah that's illegal and your law is shut down saying that you just take the make up of law so that the concert conservative hone in the policy zone in the house website suggested this morning that these best course of action the least worst options result might be for him to resign do you agree with an obvious start by that because that it seems to forget the big thing of if you resign then you let jeremy cope with this leader of the opposition take power even for a few days

a given the tory are going to spend coping as a filthy. minister deserves to go anywhere near power it will lessen their power just a few days please i think by basically not in the sky for that all starting but not for the irate he'll be showing that he's actually all right if you trust him with it so why do it so we are getting as much out to make if you like downing street ok thank you very much for all that's no no easy option circulus i was a boris johnson lots of votes tonight a load of. finery when the purgation happens from all these men come in wearing the minister for their caps. no it wouldn't you wouldn't see it any other country will know that i'm strangely looking forward to it now lawrence lady in westminster thank you. peace talks are underway in south sudan between the president and the exiled rebel leader rick machar which i landed in juba on monday to sit with president salva kiir a meeting seen as an important step towards the implementation of a stalled peace deal at least 400000 people have died since the country's civil war

here in moscow still still trying to make sense of what exactly has happened in these very well watched elections it's an interesting and complicated political scheme that has played out but indeed the russia united russia party the ruling party has never lost as many seats before after. they lost a monopoly basically they have still the majority in this moscow city duma so day still can basically have their influence heard but they have to deal with a lot of forces at the moment not the actual real in the pan or the opposition because they were simply banned from running in the 1st place but the communist party has a grown here is significantly becoming it has never been elected serious opposition very much opposing the ruling party but it will mean that is more diversity in this in this most city duma but what it means even more is that this is a signal that despite this crackdown by the government on the opposition many

people have been arrested they have been jailed for longer sentences they have been beaten up but still that they have made this voice heard through this so-called smart vote which was called for by opposition a figure alexy naftali and this has basically been successful looking adult here in moscow this means that the opposition is a force to be reckoned with and that's as some people have described it some cracks are now appearing in putting through. number incident a strike by british airways pilots is causing major disruption for passengers worldwide it is the 1st day of a 48 hour walkout grounding nearly all of the airlines $850.00 daily flights that will affect nearly $150000.00 people each day union leaders for b.o.'s $4200.00 pilots want a bigger share of the profits airline managers describe staff salaries and benefits though as world class lebanese armed group says it's shot down an israeli drone

outside the border town of mia its fighters say they now have the aircraft israel and hezbollah exchanged fire along the lebanese border just over a week ago and has more now from the lebanese capital. this is the 1st time since 2006 that hezbollah says it's downed an israeli drone over lebanese territory in 2006 israel and hezbollah went to war it was a month long war that ended with a cease fire but according to hezbollah secretary general has on the stroller we are now in a new phase this followed what hezbollah says is an israeli attempt to target a babe ruths southern suburbs a stronghold of hezbollah 2 armed drones approximately 2 weeks ago one crashed one exploded in the middle of the night so hezbollah really imposing new red lines creating some sort of id to terence because even the secretary general himself said we do not want israel to feel that it can do whatever it wants and act with

impunity in lebanon because in neighboring syria what israel has been doing over the past 2 years is a targeting what it says are iranian bases and bases belonging to iranian backed groups and this has been happening for years now because israel wants to contain iran's growing influence in the region and just overnight there have been reports of airstrikes close to the iraqi border in the syrian town of book come out of an area which has really a heavy presence of iranian backed fighters according to reports a base being built by the iranians was hit and some more monitors are reporting at least 18 iranian backed fighters were killed there's been no confirmation as of yet from syrian state media but clearly israel expanding its scope of operations against iran and its allies in the region like we mentioned syria over the past 2 weeks there have been attacks mysterious attacks which nobody has claimed targeting iraqi backed iranian groups in iraq and of course there's

a recent drone strike as though the drone incident in beirut so tensions lebanon in the eye of the storm as tensions rise between iran and the united. states and iran and israel. the syrian government has condemned joint u.s. and turkish patrols in the northwest as a flagrant violation of its sovereignty vehicle returned to turkey on sunday after entering an area that used to be controlled by u.s. backed kurdish forces the u.s. and turkey want to establish a so-called safe zone in that area america's support of the kurdish why p.g. has been a source of tension with its nato ally which sees the group as terrorists in the news ahead. oh of that i'm. trying to learn in a country at war gets increasingly desperate for yemeni families crammed into camps like this. and. the largest. in east

after dozens of opposition candidates were banned. want to go back to picking a fast the violence that we've seen there hundreds of people have been killed in the past 4 years as we mentioned vans which is called more than half a 1000000 to have their access to healthcare completely cut off or drastically reduced health care workers are also affected many of fled rural areas after some were attacked united nations says the humanitarian emergency continues to worsen with hundreds of thousands forced from their homes in the past 3 months and the thoughts are now steven anderson who's the spokesman for the international committee of the red cross he says people face an impossible choice between staying or leaving the situation is it's really difficult there are many people that are forced to flee there are displaced so we're talking about some 270000 in august and then many many people also have problems having access to healthcare we're talking here about about half

a 1000000 people and the situation really has degraded deteriorated rapidly in the past months since the beginning of 2019 actually so for for people it's really very often an extremely hard choice between staying in their village with lots of security very often difficulties to access health and water or basically leaving and leaving everything behind so it's extremely harsh for them and for us for the international committee of the red cross also for the book you know the red cross say to your other humanitarian workers it's not easy to work in this context because there are some issues related to access and security which we always have to monitor and which sometimes make it difficult to reach people. taliban says the u.s. has the most to lose our president donald trump canceled a meeting with the group in the united states u.s. special envoy has also been recalled he was the one to go she had been with the taliban here in qatar for nearly

a year the afghan government says peace will only be possible if the taliban stops killing people and holds talks with the country's leaders tony berkeley with us from kabul. president trump's early morning tweet canceling the meeting with the taliban surprised many including the afghan government but it has actually welcomed the decision the main goal of our peace road map is a ceasefire and indicted negotiation with the taliban so these 2 components are very important. the taliban refuses to talk directly with the afghan government which he regards as illegitimate and corrupt but it did agree to negotiate with the u.s. these forces invaded afghanistan 18 years ago after the 911 attacks on america there have been 9 rounds of talks it's october last year but during that time taliban fighters have carried out numerous attacks and suicide bombings and america has also continued its air campaign which is hit the taliban but this year has also

caused the biggest number of civilian casualties the latest taliban bombing was in kabul last thursday in which 12 people were killed including an american soldier 2 days later the u.s. president in a tweet ditched what he said was going to be a secret meeting at camp david even as the taliban was claiming responsibility for thursday's attack zalmay khalilzad the u.s. chief negotiator was on his way to katter for further talks that were later described as positive but the afghan government said the talks gave the taliban recognition the taliban has responded angrily to trump canceling the talks in a statement released on its website they said the agreement was finalized on saturday both sides agreed to all points they talked about intra afghan talks to begin on september the 23rd but warned that their struggle will continue and the u.s. would suffer more the u.s. has been criticized for offering the taliban too much for raising fears that the country could descend into civil war once the bulk of american forces withdraw if

there is a new agreement between the problem in the united states government about the role of the party fighting forces. that would be devoid of worth. not the only part of going to stand that would be the way the world situation put that region and the international community and that is something that troubles many afghans all of our billionaires we know the taliban is not trustworthy and they do whatever they want and they misuse islamic laws in a terrifying way this country won't be better with them and the government a mob out of all my money we are freed of the taliban come out not only will women's rights be violated but also all human rights. all sides appear to agree that militarily they can be no winner in this conflict but also which even a lasting peace is not going to be easy either where this leaves the peace process is anyone's guess it depends largely on what the taliban chooses to do next either escalate the violence or return to the negotiating table in

a different frame of mind afghanistan waits to see which one it will be tony berkeley al-jazeera kabul. well look at yemen now where 4 and a half years of war forced millions of people to leave their homes there are about time for example in the province of aden houses more than 600 internally displaced families but they're becoming increasingly desperate as victoria. this is what passes for a classroom at the hour about camp in southern yemen it has no tables no chairs and just a handful of books a 1000 school age children live in the camp but most don't turn up to class. we need to build a school we need chairs about a year and to get for students because most of the students run away they want to work because of the living conditions here. are about camp in the province of aden

the misinformation from the journalism how carefully must you choose your words but some tough stuff has to be said to some critics have to be made the listening post on al-jazeera. tibetan culture of dance thrives here every day generations of tibetans continue to embrace and they'd take their cultural heritage it's a reminder of who they are and whether. this is a suburb of the india capital new delhi tibet so the refugees here since 1964 buttons here have been defined as migrants are not refugees because india hasn't signed up to the 1951 un convention on refugees so tibetans here have been able to access the indian welfare system so they become self-sufficient setting up their a business says and looking for work independently but for some it's not enough. if you were in beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships.

was there somehow time as aiming to replace america and around the world all the chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our 1st president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china part one on a just. 2 separate attacks kill dozens in became a fast so we're on the frontline as the west african nation struggles with a spiral of violence. hello once again i'm santa maria here in doha with the world news from al-jazeera the british prime minister johnson's admitted no deal breaks it would be

a failure for which he'd be partially to blame devastation as bad as a nuclear bomb an aid agencies describe the state of the bahamas after hurricane dorian. playing for peace on the korean border the sound of music is coming to the demilitarized zone. so we're looking at bikini 2 separate attacks on convoys there in just a matter of hours which killed $29.00 people and that's really highlighting a growing security problem for the west african nation both attacks took place in the north where 14 people died after gunmen attacked an aid convoy and then 15 were killed when a minivan hit a mine catherine soit sent this exclusive report from cairo. the government has issued a stay. confirming this incident and that that's along the road ahead into the

border with mali and one of the attacks happened in an area where we were filming just a few days ago and it's quite surreal because the landmine was planted in the example of patients who are out so this minibus that was carried civilians drove over the lot mine and exploded 15 people were killed the other incident happened about 50 kilometers from that location and it was on a motorcycle riders who are current relieved food for people who have been affected by the security problems with the situation still very dire along the way on our journey we so many many villages that have been designed that and even the villages where some people walk you could just sense and feel the fear and the tension and then some of the people actually preparing to leave those villages so it's bipolar and even more dangerous as you go farther north and into the sahara region not access at all and on to the border with my. last december picking afonso government

imposed a state of emergency after a surge of attacks on military and civilians many blame groups across the border from northern mali for the uptick in violence here catherine's report now from northern became a fals. it's one of the most dangerous routes in book enough. this road heads north to the border with miley we're told armed groups easily cross the porous border into begin a fossil and carry out attacks on villages and government troops. this minibus was destroyed by a roadside bomb. is one of the larger villages some people are only just returning home after fleeing when a neighboring village was a talked. about it but. says she would stay for long.

my husband is in bus a local we fled after the attack in the next village i've just come back to get the rest of our things. the farther north the more dangerous. the gunshots you're hearing from our police escort is a warning to any armed people who could be in hiding. what's happening in the country is part of a regional conflict that began when colonel gadhafi was ousted in libya. armed groups crossed the sahara desert and started an insurgency in northern mali and then spread across the sahara region until 2 years ago but was largely safe now hundreds of people have been killed and many more displaced this is one of many villages we've seen along the way in this homestead for example it appears people left in quite a hearty this food there it seems that they were preparing to eat these pots and pans everywhere and they also left the animals and animals are very important to

the people who live in this area and some of those we talked to elsewhere saying that they fled after hearing that other villages had been attacked. this man brought their families to safety after their villages ambushed and several people killed they believe the fighters have inflamed tensions between rival hardass and farming communities. the beginning before it was a continuation of a local ethnic conflict that has existed for a long time but now we believe it's beyond that. police tell us hours after we left this area several people were killed when a minibus were travelling in heat a landmine the government has declared a security emergency in 6 regions in the north and east people here say unless security forces succeed in stopping the violence they want to return home catherine

sorry al-jazeera nathen book enough. birds and news now and britain's queen elizabeth has approved a law blocking a no deal exit from the european union at the end of october surprise ministers are strong and must now ask for an extension or get that elusive deal now earlier he visited arlen's and made a rare admission that the no deal exit would be a failure of diplomacy charlie rangel has. looking for a breakthrough on bret's it. boris johnson is in dublin making last minute appeals to his irish counterpart over the back stop the insurance policy to avoid a hard border between ireland and northern ireland after breakfast it for a man who last week had britain on course for a note that his message was more diplomatic. i want to get a deal. like you i've looked carefully at no deal i've assessed its consequences both for our country and and yours and yes of course

we could do it u.k. could certainly get through it but be in no doubt that outcome would be a failure of state crawford which we would all be responsible for the. behind the smiles there is tension irish prime minister says there will be no concessions on the irish border issue and ireland would support an extension to the brics that deadline. the backstop continues to be a critical component of the withdrawal agreement unless and until alternatives are found. but we are open to alternatives but they must be realistic ones legally binding unworkable and we haven't received such opposes today's meanwhile in westminster jeremy corbett and other opposition leaders met to plan their next steps. on monday a bill designed to block a deal becomes law m.p.'s will then vote on government plans to trigger an early

election that vote is expected to fail boris johnson is then obliged to write to the asking for an extension if he can present an acceptable deal to parliament by october 19th but the government says he will not request that extension. the prime minister is still promising to deliver direct hit by october 31st he says he has ideas but he has yet to share them with parliament or the media we're heading towards a general election probably no october but no i mean he's working through that prism i think actually the way the government looking at it is if you look at the focus groups how the polling with the public when you get out of westminster a lot of people are behind bars in the way he's going to frame says look i try to are try to keep my promise parliament stop me therefore i was forced to go to the election both sides are up against the clock parliament has just hours before the shutdown for 5 weeks while the prime minister has just 40 days to come up with a new deal

a deal that brussels has yet to see charlie al-jazeera london. and in a surprise announcement the controversial house of commons speaker john bercow says he will stand down at the next election or on the 31st of october whichever comes 1st. is. a vote tonight for an early general election my tenure as. he will. win this parliament and. if the house does not vote i have concluded that the least disruptive. and most democratic course of action. would be for me to stand down at the close of business on thursday october 31st. andrew symonds outside the

house of parliament in westminster now hi andrew what happens now. well the next thing on the agenda is a 2nd attempt by boris johnson having with from dublin off to what was not a very positive visit to his counterpart in dublin he is going to try to get an election again this is the 2nd attempt and the chances of that happening are remote in the extreme the opposition still in control of this parliament and he needs a 2 thirds majority to win over and cool that election he gets it's the opposition the more united than ever right now they're intent on stopping boris johnson from going to the country until they know they're up to over the 31st won't just be mocked for the debunked departure of john bercow what won't be marked by

a no deal breaks it and that's the key as far as the timetable goes the next thing off to the vote is the pro route being as it's termed in parliament 3 speak here the suspension of parliament that's happening earlier than expected it could have gone on until thursday before there was a 5 week suspension that sounds immensely long time but 3 weeks of that will be in recess and it would have been in recess anyway as the 3 major parties go about their conferences after that boris johnson is supposed to be going to brussels that's what should happen but nothing is predictable in this crisis a saying he won't go to brussels and asked for an extension as the law is telling him so now a major debate about the legality of that if it actually happens and then of course you heard in charlie's report his remarks in dublin basically saying it would be a failure of state croft if he was unable to get a a deal of

a deal through so there's lots of chicanery going on in the messaging departments but really he is up against it in an immense way and that crow roading that suspension can it be stalled because obviously there was a lot of opposition to it. it's a question a lot of people. have been legal attempts to stop it in the high court in london and indeed deborah in northern ireland none of them have thought about injunctions to stop it at all that may well be appeals going through the system but no it cannot the simple question is no there is no way of doing it short of a miracle with the queen intervening on a on a on a political family this no not possible so it will go through with lots of pomp and circumstance quite surreal it will be in such a crisis to see the grandiose way in which this bottom it goes about it's a.
