4:01 pm
backed forces target the taliban. world leaders prepared to address the our new un general assembly will be live from new york. but 1st the british prime minister boris johnson says he disagrees with the ruling by the supreme court that's the country's highest court that his decision to suspend parliament was unlawful bought he says that he's promising to respect that verdict as british politicians go back to westminster with the 31st deadline looming there are growing demands for the prime minister to resign he says he'll fight on. obviously this is a verdict that we will respect and respect the judicial process i have to say i strongly disagree with what the justices have done and i don't think that.
4:02 pm
it's right that we will go ahead and course upon the come back i do think there's a good case for getting on with the queen's speech anyway move do that by the way support things we get on and librax it on october 31st and this clearly a the claimants in this case are determined to try to frustrate that and to to stop that i think it is very unfortunate if parliament made that objective which of the people want delivered more difficult to get on well it certainly get a sense of exactly what was said in that supremes co-chairing this court has already concluded that the prime minister's advice to her majesty was unlawful void and of no effect this means that the order in council which led was also a little full void and of no effect and should be quashed the progression was also
4:03 pm
void and of no effect parliament has not been for wrote this is the unanimous judgment of all 11 justices probably got 19 barbara correspondent in brighton that's in the south of england where the opposition labor party is holding its party its conference well things are in in a bit 1st so let's go to rory challenge he's outside the houses of parliament in central london and rory so with that supreme court ruling the unanimous ruling it's basically handing the ball back into the court of parliament. yes and parliaments as we know now in a statement from john bercow speaker of the house of commons is going to be convening once again tomorrow at 1030 g.m.t. the house of lords is also going to be convening again tomorrow this is
4:04 pm
a quick movements after that decision from the supremes court forest johnson as you just heard earlier in the program a short while ago basically pretending as if this doesn't really change anything this is the prime minister who famously compared himself to the incredible hulk and it wasn't looking particularly green or angry in his statement to the press just a short while ago but he was saying that he will continue as he puts it repeatedly to get this thing done get bricks it done he's as in change anything we will still be leaving the european union on october 31st the reporter asked him well you can't do that without a deal because parliament has expressed before that unless parliament votes that that is permissible which it has not done and is not likely to do so the u.k.
4:05 pm
is still in this quandary we have had this momentous this year this isn't handed down by the u.k. supremes court boris johnson is still trying to push ahead with getting a queen's speech through that would he said he says include another program of parliament presumably a very short one. botts we are heading towards an election if he's not resigning and the opposition parties don't want to hold an election until after the 31st of october when they've had it off and then the only option that they have is to call a no confidence. motion in the government to try and bring boris johnson down that way that's complicated for them though because they will have to decide who is going to head up a caretaker government most of them don't want terribly corben the leader of the labor opposition party to do so so that is a difficult thing for them to try and reach a consensus on and what parliament does with the time between now and 31st of
4:06 pm
october is very unclear there is going to be a lot of talk going on and as we see stand from this moment no clear way out of the impasse all right rory outside parliament in london thank you well rory made mention of jeremy colvin the leader of the main opposition labor party let's hear some of what he had to say following that ruling from the supreme court. and i am by far is johnson in the historic words to consider his position let the big. picture they make her message and become the shortest serving prime minister there's ever been one. and nadine is there in brighton on the south coast of england and jeremy corbyn

4:18 pm
development and they're among our best tools for preventing conflicts yet we are not on track inequality is exploding our global economy generates great flows of income but this prosperity skeptic by a small number of elites it is a set of old world today that wealth chances of living a life free of words and in full human dignity still depends more on the circumstances of one's birth then one's innate capacities. today's development goals summits and the search there is dialogue on financing are opportunities to ramp up and bishan including by utilizing the promise of technology and innovation as recommended by the level panel on the she told corporation that has concluded its reports excellencies
4:19 pm
is was emphasized in yesterday's climate action summits the climate emergencies race we are losing but it is a race we can win if we change our ways now even our language just with depths what when's was called climate change is now truly a climate crisis and what was once called global warming is more acutely become global heating we are seeing and precedented temperatures and relenting storms and and deniable science 10 days ago in the bahamas i saw the ruin caused by hurricane dorian that after mass is a mere pollutes to work science tells us 1 is on its way but something else is on its way solutions and the world is starting to move not yet fast enough but
4:20 pm
to move in the right direction away from fossil fuels and towards the opportunities of a green economy and the climate summit i lighted some of the solutions we need to scale up in order to dramatically reduce emissions keep temperatures rise 20.5 degrees and reach carbon neutrality by 2050 but we are not yet there we must build on this momento and do much more to be able to defeat climate change excellence. lipper blue blood of the libya be found among the shocked be appalled me the fear he's picked the. wrong. moment he. did while. he saw mina. it's the economy threatened reversed or undermined we see wide reaching impunity including impunity for violations of
4:21 pm
international humanitarian law we also see new forms of authority thora terrorism appearing and the civic space is narrowing and citizens' voices are being stifled human rights advocates environmental activists and journalists are being targeted. day after day a click by click camera by camera surveillance systems are expanding their reach and encroaching on our privacy but these breaches go beyond of a breakdown in rules governing the behavior of states and businesses they are playing out on a deeper level they bring into question very compassion and our humanity. for i believe the u.n. secretary general there as he continues with his opening address to the general assembly our diplomatic efforts against bay's
4:22 pm
a veteran of so many general assemblies james this is generally viewed as the secretary general's review of the year if you like and he started off with maybe some of the problems when told to some of the successes and then ended in the english version anyway with what now seems to be the central issue of this general assembly and that is climate. yes and clearly climate was the subject for monday here at the u.n. everyone focusing on climate but it also had to be an important part of this speech by the secretary general which is as you say his annual report because this is very much big become his main focus when the secretary general took office 2 and a half years ago i think he was trying to chart a slightly different course from his predecessor bank ki-moon who had focused on climate and development in his last years as secretary general and the secretary
4:23 pm
general appointed a deputy ameena mohammed who had been working very hard on the sustainable development goals those are the goals that took over from the millennium development goals goals that look at ways to make life better for all of humanity and he gave his deputy that task while he was going to focus on conflict prevention he hasn't really had a very good track record on that so he started off trying to get a peace deal in cyprus that looked like it was a possibility but the talks went very badly and more recently of course earlier this year the effort was on libya he said of the conflicts in the middle east that was the one he felt was the most the most of all the one that we certainly have the have the most to have a chew knitty for him to turn things around and you remember he went to tripoli to try and get things going try and get that conference of all the parties going and they were going to plan to have in the desert town of good dharmas and while he was there in tripoli general haftar launched his brazen attempt to try and seize
4:24 pm
tripoli that didn't work but clearly the situation in libya now is much grimmer than it was and it seems in recent months with some of his trips some of his trips to the pacific some his trips to places that have been hit by climate emergencies going to mozambique and most recently so the bahamas but he is pivoted back to the issue of development and climate as he. main issue interesting that he did say on conflict there are some positive bright spots to look up for example the central african republic and even that long running issue of the name of 'd macedonia north of macedonia that has been resolved but then he went through the list of all of the things that have not been resolved and it's very grim getting i think to the main headline of this beach which is very hard hitting comments from the secretary general i think making it one of the toughest comments he's made
4:25 pm
since he's been secretary general of this idea of the world splitting into 2 he didn't use the phrase new cold war he used the phrase great world splitting into 2 with the 2 largest economies on earth so he's referring to the u.s. and china trading 2 separate and competing worlds a vision that clearly goes against the whole ethos of the u.n. certainly one that you hear behind the scenes being talked about by diplomats a lot of the 3 at tricks in the u.n. 6 concern the security council and they concern the u.s. and russia but it's the rising influence in china the behind the scenes seems to be the trend that is most concerning diplomats and there are some in western circles who see china as belton road as a neo colonial projects and these are the sort of issues i think that the secretary general is getting at he can't afford to offend any of the 5 permanent members but he is making it clear that 2 of the 5 permanent members are working in
4:26 pm
a direction that could see the world divided right thank you for that james bays our diplomatic editor we'll leave you to carry on listening to the statements as they continue in new york here in the studio with me at director of the center of the conflict and humanitarian status at the doha institute for graduate studies up of the things that so doubt for you and for the. the secretary general's address i noticed particularly for instance that on his list of successes he included the mention of a constitutional committee for syria which he announced just yesterday i think by far is probably the most important and most significant achievement in terms of peacemaking that he has been able to deliver over the last year obviously the nature of the conflicts that we're living today have made the role of the u.n. that much more difficult and it's no longer resolved by the u.n. involvement on its own there are many many actors and nations regional powers that
4:27 pm
are involved in a lot of the conflicts that he listed as places where he has attempted but not been able to achieve much including libya and yemen of course earlier in the year the attempt in yemen was very important and the sec regional played the part of you know a personal role in that where they managed to get a. kind of cease fire going in the head data region didn't they but it's a very fragile situation it seems now to have disappeared into thin air doesn't it because. conflict has resumed has it not and i suspect it has to come back into focus particularly after the attack in saudi arabia i think that attack has focused everyone's mind as to the great vulnerability we're all exposing ourselves to by allowing this conflict to proceed and i suspect that the u.n. and the terrorists in particular will be playing a greater role in yemen in the coming absolutely i mean make mention of those attacks 10 days ago or so on saudi oil facilities focusing therefore on the goals
4:28 pm
and the conditions in the gulf are like tinder aren't they. europeans recently coming out and backing the united states and saying iran indeed was responsible for these attacks even though there. is of yemen claimed responsibility i mean how how far does this take western nations and in these saudi arabia down the road. potential conflict by identifying iran as the perpetrator of these attacks i think at this stage and given the whole thesis mission they need to be much more careful i mean die deal. way forward would be to establish an international commission that looks independently into the situation and comes to a conclusion given the history in the region and given the history of the war in iraq and everything else. i think would be much wiser to move slower towards were the position of saudi arabia united states and relying more maybe this is
4:29 pm
a role for the u.n. to play rely on a commission from the united nations to go and look into the situation and publish the evidence it's very important to take people along with you in this region and without showing exactly verified evidence would be very difficult i think in the region to buy into whatever conclusion they come to what expectations should we have then for the uranium proposal known is that the whole news proposal for peace hope i think it's being known as i mean should we expect much to come from that when president rouhani unveils it at the general assembly i suspect the united states and saudi arabia would probably reject it out of hand although i again would be wise to consider it the fact that it talks about regional countries policing their own area is in a self a good way forward they've added to this layer of united nations
4:30 pm
a provision which would give guarantees to the smaller nations and to the rest of the world that this is going to be worked out collectively and maybe there is a military to move the region has tried all other forms of security and they seem to fail one after the other side arabia has tried relying on the united states security to provide provision and that didn't work in the last few weeks so maybe it is time for them to sit together and talk about their own sea and how to monitor and protect their own interests so time barack out for now thank you very much indeed thank you very much. now we're going to continue to monitor the general assembly and we'll go back there now though let's have a look at the rest of the world in the deaths of 40 people at an afghan wedding and adding to major concerns about security just days before the presidential election there's uncertainty as to exactly what happened in mosul color region of helmand province that's in the south of the country on sunday night the government says the
4:31 pm
army was targeting a taliban training base where they killed fighters and arrested others so the question is why so many civilians died robin wright has the latest from kabul. well afghanistan's military says the attack against foreign fighters was successful but once again it seems civilians including women and children became casualties sources in helmand province so the victims were attending a wedding party on sunday evening when they were attacked as the rescuers attended to the dead and injured a crowd gathered at a local hospital waiting for any news should be unless i give him a plane arrived and bombarded the wedding ceremony and some nearby houses including my own around 50 to 60 people in market and 5060 others are wounded 0 1 1 this attack follows another last week in eastern province when a strike is said to be targeting an iso hideout killed dozens of villages working
4:32 pm
nearby afghan civilian deaths in coalition operations have long been a contentious issue particularly because of the sophisticated weaponry used by nato and u.s. forces even with having with all the precision. weapons and all the you know up to date latest technologies the civilian casualties were unavoidable of course the underlying. requirement for all of this is good intelligence if you don't have good intelligence often what happens is that you end up us. targeting civilians. the u.n. says that more civilians have been killed this year in operations by the afghan military and their coalition allies than by armed groups including the taliban a report just published by the ministry of health has further highlighted the problem showing that in the past year 3300 civilians have been killed and another

4:35 pm
going back to last december with the murder of 20 internation construction workers near the village of west papuan. what this river what this reflects is that there is gradual amongst the west pop once the resistance movement and they're becoming much more active and that's being manifested in protests on the straights and the security forces responding by cracking down quite hard on them in many cases taking i think it's very widespread like last year there was a petition that was actually signed by west papuans melanesian was populations 1800000 signatures on a calling for a referendum on independence of a population of 4000000 that's a pretty extraordinary c.e.o. and i think it indicates that the movement is quite widespread across the province and there's a broad desire for a change in the political circumstances jakarta there is now no appetite for having a referendum on independence or indeed any sort of discussion but they would be no

resolution to this conflict without some sort of maybe ice dialogue some external broker coming in and sitting down between the parties at the moment their positions are very far apart. the spain supreme court has ruled that the government can examine the remains of former leader general francisco franco franco currently lies in the valley of the fall of. the end of the civil war that his relatives and right wing politicians had opposed moving his remains. to the family to the moving comes as column it was dissolved and elections declared opposition parties have accused the ruling says this is seeking political gain with the exhumation. now greece is new center right government is facing perhaps its 1st major industrial action no public buses nor trains are running in athens ships to stay in their docks unions representing workers from

4:38 pm
towards a solution but it's one of the delegates seemed to be satisfied with as they came up with a blueprint for a temporary emergency mechanism in order to resolve the migration crisis in europe certainly seem to be optimistic that they would present those plans on the 8th of october at another interior ministers meeting in luxembourg now the challenge for this would be in order to get other member states to try and take in more of the asylum seekers that have landed especially in malta and italy there has been a great deal of pushback from countries such as poland and hungary who refused to do so and certainly the migration policies have played a part in that but there is also another solution and office certainly of taking in a higher quote from france and from germany they said they would be prepared to
4:39 pm
take 25 percent of any asylum seekers who landed here italy would also be prepared to take 10 percent but that is they say because they've received tens of thousands of people on their shores nevertheless trying to persuade other member states to take in more people will certainly be a challenge and also will no doubt rile up our. voices in other countries throughout the european union. kenya's government has ordered a nationwide inspection of all school buildings a roof collapse killed 8 people injured 64 others in the capital nairobi the 1st floor of the building gave way trapping the children below to remain in critical condition. we are going to go to this report from katherine sawyer or are we going to go to the 2 new york we're going to go to new york at least because i think you . know the brazilian president is about to take this let's listen to him. you bill
