order in council at issue whether the court should stay out of politics as the english high court had ruled or a scottish judges decided last week whether the courts should step in when the powers of government are used for purposes other than those for which they were intended now. is that when the prime minister exercise. his admittedly removed discretionary power to advise her majesty gratian it is an improper purpose for him to be a member. our wish to avoid home in chief control over the policies of his government and we know. that the parliament may be proved for a variety of reasons pleasant for all as much as formal.

and sasan the. moment is not in any sense innocent and to the preparation you mean the supreme court's decision when it comes could have far reaching consequences for an unwritten constitution in this country that relies heavily on legal precedent for a government that may yet decide it wants to prorogue parliament again and for parliament itself there are many many m.p.'s very keen to get back to work as the clock ticks down towards briggs's day on october 31st and if the supreme court were to confirm the scottish judges finding that boris johnson lied to the queen over his reasons for suspending parliament they'd be heavy pressure on the prime minister to resign fundamentally this case is really quite simple it's about this proposition the government admits that parliament doesn't get control whether it's suspend it. and government says courts can't control it either and that is

just writing proposition an absolutely striking proposition and the supreme court's going to have found difficulty accepting it hey you're a star democracy so that's not a popular view among sections of the crowd outside the court 6 as ever tensions on display are ugly combative divisive no decision look a supreme court is going to change that jonah hill al-jazeera london. well the new leader of britain's liberal democrat says she's ready to be prime minister and if elected she'll cancel bragg's it just winston has addressed the party's annual conference in this town of bournemouth the party is newly energized after spending several years in the electoral wilderness swenson's criticised both the ruling conservative party and the labor party for pushing ahead with and with scathing prime minister boris johnson. a clear he's determined when it comes to

crushing us out without a deal. just look at what he's done over the last few weeks he perogue parliament to try to prevent m.p.'s starting a new deal brags that he's kept $21.00 m.p.'s out of the conservative party including the father of the house ken clarke and churchill's grandson nicholas soames just because they dared to stand up to him. there is even now the suggestion that he would break the law and refuse to ask for an extension of article 50 protests continue in haiti as a fuel shortage bites and anger at alleged corruption grows there renewed calls for the president to resign she had written reports. the protests have escalated throughout the year since haiti's subsidized supply of fuel from venezuela was cut

that was supplied through the petro program begun by travelers in 2005 to help the development of caribbean nations the program ended last year as u.s. sanctions isolated from israel are from the international financial system so maybe that's your it's a protest of the pitch which is in the country the high cost of living in the neck of security. now the country must rely on the u.s. market for energy and supply is demanding about $100000000.00 an unpaid fees before move fuel is delivered prices a rocket electricity blackouts have become common. this morning i bought a gallon of petrol for 9 u.s. dollars in the car for area with this snow and ellis i usually can get a full tank for my motorcycle and still have change left there is particular anger at president over no mores who government wanted to say personally profited from the old system of subsidized venezuelan fuel siphoning off millions of dollars of aid meant for development. we are demonstrating and we are rebelling against the

president job anomalies in the system because this system does not bring any change to our haitian people and we will keep protesting if the president refuses to resign because we are tired of the system not only that earlier this year there were street protests after morey's administration voted not to recognize the legitimacy of the venezuelan government at the organization of american states an unprecedented moment for a country that received billions of dollars of help from caracas it was a gesture of a gratified washington there are signs that the white house so long a power broker in this country may. not be able to shield its our if the street protests continue amber front should political opposition to avoid these communities. argentina is waiting for the international monetary fund's decision all alone to boost its economy recent austerity measures have led to protests and that place the place is one thing a plays a crucial role in argentina's economic and political life is the u.s.

dollar traceable explains. it's 10 o'clock in the morning in argentina and the question everyone has is how much is the dollar today argentina is in the middle of an economic crisis and it's the u.s. dollar that's in the spotlight once again the french as we're going to crises in argentina are cyclical and things happen again argentina's look at the dollar and people want to save themselves and sort of the country in general in the past year recession is everywhere even though the national money's they play so it's the u.s. currency what runs the economy the main reason is inflation because a raise in the value of the u.s. dollar immediately translates to a race in the price of almost everything in the early 20th century argentina was one of the richest countries in the world thanks to the export of beef wheat and other farm goods but things changed in the 1930 s. because of the great depression in the united states and political instability and

since then i didn't has defaulted on its sovereign debt several times and inflation has almost always been in the double digit this museums and shows how the origin time currency has depreciated over the years and in a way it explains why arjun times preferred to save in u.s. dollars. the word crisis and devaluation appears repeatedly in the coin museum of when a site is over the years argentina has not been able to solve its main problem the economy needs dollars to grow but the country spends more than it produces. so he needs to borrow abroad that's what president mike lee did since taking office in 2015 market restoration one way to go over the expectation was to generate capital inflows and generate growth through investment and what happened you had a lot of portfolio inflows but not as much investment maggie was a bit too optimistic it took too long to adjust to fiscal issues and how you had to

keep interest rates too high for too long and people already now mistrust the value of the pieces and that's why people have been going to the banks to either buy dollars or get their money out a lot of comments about that the u.s. dollar is not only used by the elite in argentina but by all sectors that run to buy dollars as soon as they have some cash it's how people try to preserve their cash close to dollar rise the economy are common in argentina but people like my say it will not work out well and i mean in 19012001 there was an attempt to tie the past so to the dollar it was a convertibility at that time it was not a dollar rise ation but the states did not have a monetary policy it controlled inflation but it devastated the economy to. be tended in the massive crisis in 2001. next few months will be difficult ones for argentina but he's unable to amend an economic pattern that repeats itself over and over again that is how will one of these

new yorkers become the 2nd u.s. state to ban flavored east cigarettes over health concerns week the president donald trump announced plans to ban the flavored vade juice nationally companies have been accused of targeting children and turning millions into nicotine addicts michigan was the 1st state to ban the products earlier this month. are survivors of most notorious children's are threatening to take the irish government to court they are outraged over his failure to you know bodies of hundreds of children who died in the care of the catholic church in the small town of 2 on largely reports it is impossible to overstate the mental scarring of the survivors of the bodies of the bodies of a little their own dear peter lived in the home until the age of 4 when the nuns sold him on to a violent family by that time he lost his sister she like nearly 800 others had her

name recorded in the death register to walk on this plot is to walk over the bones of infant children for a catholic organization to put bodies in here there were baptized ties you have to put them in their own consecrated ground and left them here like animals no respect no records you know nothing savages for them like all the others patro of his grandmother had to give her sons up to the nuns as punishment for becoming pregnant outside marriage both of them patrollers 2 uncles died john francis only made a week apparently they didn't feed him and your uncle's name is on this list yeah he's right here john francis malone 7 days and this is if it says that he died of malnutrition more well it says more as must but starvation essentially so so so

starve to death you hit it in the care of the nuns. like many others patricia believes the whole place is a crime scene there's still an awful lot of unanswered questions and without those questions being answered then how do we know it's not it's 5 years since a local historian uncovered the scale of what happened here and the government has promised to excavate the site. a preliminary investigation discovered skeletons lined up in rows since the entrance is very narrow it's led to the suspicion that the nuns got the children to carry the bodies of dead babies down the pit after these photos were taken the whole site was covered over again the government minister responsible for all this declined an interview but the government's own interim reports suggest that they don't trust the testimonies of surviving nuns and they think that local people might know more than they've been prepared to admit in the meantime though the detective work is being done not by the police but by the

survivors of choom and their families the campaigners think the government is so frightened of the damage to the church that a full excavation would do that it is resisting it's so they're threatening court action i think the only way in which this will be resolved is through an order of the spirit of courts of this country i can't see any other way because there is no will there's no wish there is no appetite church and state in this country are still wedded in a poisonous pact. through thought to be dozens and dozens of other places like this around ireland a full investigation into the scale of what happened across all the countries mother and baby homes would be explosive and could destroy the reputation of the church hardly a surprise then the survivors think the government would rather bury the truth than dig up the past lawrence lee al-jazeera chim in ireland. an

a stable government a zionist government. a government committed towards the jewish state where neither will nor can there be a government that relies on and desire this arab parties we have got so we need to be there wasn't an easy mission as we see now netanyahu did not succeed in his mission we in comparison proved that the idea of blue and white succeeded and it's here to stay. and netanyahu is our ally turned rival avigdor lieberman is most likely to determine the makeup of the next government he's called for unity. so you have only one option a national liberal government made up of israel by to. and blue and white we are in a state of crisis both financially and in terms of security for the country requires a broad government crude oil prices have dropped by 5 percent saudi arabia had
