10:00 pm
and we will. do we fix it. right let's pick this apart that is outside the prime minister's official residence at number 10 downing street we'll talk to him in just a few moments but 1st let's head to rory chalons who is outside parliament in westminster rory fairly impassioned scenes we saw there when the parliament reconvene today. yes as you would expect after parliament has come back following weeks of suspension a suspension the the supremes court rules was unlawful the m.p.'s are now back in their position doing was many of them wanted to have spent the last weeks doing anyway which was discussing the procedure of parliament discussing the rights of parliament discussing what should happen about bret's at the 1st real exchange they're going on between geoffrey cox who is the attorney general a conservative m.p.
10:01 pm
he was arguing the government's position he was saying that the advice that was given to the queen was given as you say in good faith that the government is disappointed that this supremes court decision went against it it disagrees with it but it will respect it he did defend the judiciary the independence of the judiciary unlike some of his conservative colleagues who's called what happened in the supreme court a constitutional crew geoffrey cox doesn't take that opinion but he had very harsh words for parliament itself calling it a dead parliament saying that the opposition were essentially like turkeys who were trying to get away from christmas coming but christmas would come. he is basically saying that the government is going to push again for a general election now we can talk now to kevin craig who is a labor party a councillor a businessman to give us something of the. the inside track from the opposition in
10:02 pm
any normal time if you had a minority government that last decision of this magnitude in the supreme court they would be history they would be gone you would have the opposition votes of no confidence or calling for an election why is the labor party not doing this at the moment primarily to avoid the no deal bricks and that is the driving force behind all the tactics in parliament or so to be truthful and honest the labor party is not yet in my opinion match fit for a general election is a huge amount of work to be done in terms of fund raising and candidate selection across the country but most of all it's this threat of a no deal breaks it and we are in a historically crazy situation if you had your 1st 2 months of work you'd lost 6 votes over 20 of your colleagues you thought you'd suspended parliament but you had you misled the queen in any job that would probably lead to a questionable meeting the day of your probation but that won't happen i can assure you that there's no appetite amongst tory ranks to make boris johnson resign so he's going to stay and you're going to see immense time and energy put in by labor
10:03 pm
and the other opposition parties to try and find parliamentary guarantees to stop the no deal how that happens and ends up i'm not clear on yet no one is but that's why labor haven't called for no confidence vote and also this party still wouldn't win the numbers have not changed you will not find if you had it tomorrow a majority of m.p.'s voting no confidence in the government and the tories the conservative party have been calling gerry corbin chicken for some time now saying that they may not have the numbers for a no confidence vote doesn't have the numbers in the electorate for a general election that he wouldn't win well i think to be fair to jeremy corbyn who by many commentators gave the best speech of his leadership yesterday most natural so far and and it was very retail politics to those people in our society earning less than 80 grand a year knows of things out there for why labor will make life in society better he's quite confident again to be honest a nonpartisan the. scott brown to make up in scotland recent polling in london is
10:04 pm
very encouraging but the party would welcome to 46812 more weeks before a poll as well as getting some guarantees around a no deal breaks and that's the truth kevin thank you very much so as you have heard impassioned day in parliament so far and we are still expecting to hear from the prime minister himself in a few hours' time rory many thanks to let's head down the road then to downing street al-jazeera is outside number 10 the dean where is the prime minister when is he going to face these angry m.p.'s. fairly soon. not sure when he's going to leave 10 downing street we've heard from his attorney general as you see. her saying that yes we do respect the decision of the supreme court but boris johnson himself says he believes that it made a mistake he has said once again we are going to deliver breakfast on time by the end of october. now just as our guest was saying it's all about the arithmetic in
10:05 pm
parliament took over the likes of jeremy corbyn have called on boris johnson to step down bay are not pressing the no confidence vote button just yet and in the absence of that move all sorts of things are possible in the last half an hour or so there are reports in the british press that all but of the attorney general geoffrey cox says that the prime minister will abide by that legislation passed recently which which obliges the prime minister to seek an extension to brics if there isn't a deal in place on october the 19th well the number 10 downing street sources hinted that the prime minister could well send the letter that he's required to do to brussels but also send a secondary communication in effect war team the move to extend the deadline beyond october the 31st it thought work happened then
10:06 pm
a lots of people are talking about more court action just as we've been seeing in the supreme court some kind of legal challenge to stop and no deal breaks it which is after all for those opposition parties their number one priority that's what they're saying at least geoffrey cox is stood up in parliament and said you are running scared he said this is a dead parliament it's got no right to say it and we should be the opposition party should have the courage to face the electorate their point is we don't have trust in this prime minister especially after the supreme court ruling and so all eyes on parliament to see exactly what will happen not just today but in the next few days whether there will be some kind of attempt from the opposition to force out boris johnson what will happen with the party conference the conservatives are supposed to have their conference next week labor have said they're minded to let that happen at least in a truncated form but time obviously is of the essence right now. a day many thanks

indeed nadine barber live in downing street this is the news are from out 0 still to come on the program we'll see what the chinese are calling the 11000000000 dollars starfish as beijing's new airport takes off. taliban threats and corruption concerns how saturday's presidential election in afghanistan has something of a credibility issue. and one of the gold medal favorites 2019 says he's racing plein after successfully fighting off a doping investigation the details coming up later in support. iran's leader hassan rouhani is expected to address the united nations general assembly in an hour or so from now france's president is pushing for a meeting between the hadi and president donald trump on the sidelines of the summit. believe. we now we think the president again.
10:08 pm
iran's foreign minister zarif has just told the reuters news agency that the possibility of that is 0 relations between the u.s. and iran became even more tense following attacks on 2 major oil facilities in saudi arabia this month washington says that iran was behind the attacks to iran denies that. all of the signatories of the 2050 nuclear deal a meeting to discuss its future president trying to pull the u.s. from the deal between iran and western powers over one year ago let's go live now to the u.n. our diplomatic and its james bays is there james some of the missing now to discuss how to save this this deal one of the prospects. well that is what is taking place right now i'm gather with reporters outside the u.n. security council and inside the security council you're right that meeting is
10:09 pm
taking place just down the corridor all that the remaining signatories to the iran nuclear deal the u.s. pulled out but of course the other signatories are trying to keep the deal alive you have a china russia germany france and the u.k. meeting with iran some comments by the u.k. prime minister this week boris johnson suggesting he wanted a renegotiation i clarify that a short time ago with the iranian foreign minister and he certainly thinks the u.k. is back sticking with the deal and that certainly is the official u.k. position clearly what's not in the nuclear deal in many ways is the most important stuff and it's quite possible that touch on some of that and particularly that drone strike on saudi arabia which certainly the europeans and the u.s. believe iran bears responsibility for this is happening right now and we're expecting the high representative represent of the federica more greeny to brief
10:10 pm
reporters in the next 10 minutes or so when the meeting comes to an end but that's not the only thing going on just down the corridor for me here there is a press conference the saudi foreign minister is expected to speak very shortly there my colleague barbara is in that press conference monitoring it when it starts and we'll give you updates from that where there could be important developments coming from saudi arabia and with rick god of course to those drone attacks in saudi arabia and develop. it's coming with regard to yemen remember the hootie said they were a sponsible for those attacks they then came out with a state this weekend saying that they were going to stop all future attacks on saudi arabia offering an olive branch and a room for diplomacy well i can tell you the un is taking that extremely seriously and as soon as they had that announcement the un special envoy boston griffiths who was supposed to be here went instead to jeddah where we're told he met mohamed bin psalm on and there is a mediation effort now underway by the u.n.
10:11 pm
i'm told martin gryphus is come back here to new york in the last few hours and he's going to be briefing the secretary general so fast moving developments here with regard to iran and yemen major james hewitt we wait we may well be back with you in the next 10 minutes or so then the for the moment many thanks our diplomatic it's a james base there at the u.n. al jazeera senior political analyst marwan mission is with the sun from london so you've got the reef saying that meeting between rouhani and trump ain't going to happen rhodium self due to address the u.n. general assembly in the next hour or so what's he going to say mamma you know judging from the various statements we've heard thus far from the iran it seems they are in use are doing this what they do best the bizarre you know the kind of. pull and let go and maintain contact but don't concede to march don't be too hard too harsh so it's an ongoing thing and i think
10:12 pm
those of us who expected anything to be result in a dramatic way of course this is not happening so while there is no major breakthrough but i think the process in and of itself is very important since the attack on the oil refineries in saudi arabia it was clear that the status quo ante . is not sustainable and that this issue of gulf security of u.s. relations is going to have to get somewhere either it would go towards the logical force and violence hence war or the logic of dialogue and diplomacy hence agreement and clearly when present trump dismissed the idea of war and insisted on sanctions basically would put nice seing the dollar it's become clear that we are really moving towards the logic of pressure and but haps eventually dialo and and having
10:13 pm
the french president to present the european union as a 3rd party trying to nudge the iranians and the americans along probably will end up needing to something if not to the end to mordor if not at this un session perhaps in the future so as iran's strategy paying off no one. well absolutely worth something it's not just a strategy i would even say it's it's a bet if they were in fact they or their allies if they were behind the attacks on that find there's i said the only ratchets up the ante if you will and they certainly you know prove that the u.s. is not interested in war and that despite the saudis. attempt to pushing the united states to fight until the last american soldier against iran that president trump is not up to fighting wars on behalf of saudi arabia our battle oil for that matter
10:14 pm
because of the reasons that the american president mentioned more than once that you know immediate american interests are the danger and oil in a surprise nonsense is not a basic part of the analysis of our guys producing more it could consume so really all in hold i think what the iranians want now is america to lift the sanctions in order for them to go back and negotiate or renegotiate then you could you know what could happen well maybe the unites us what it will eventually lead if the sanctions partially iranians go back into negotiation spot sholay and eventually that kind of process with a 3rd party which would move forward and i would just suggest one i think a dream and i think this is important. i think because of the nature of the bilateral between the united states and the iranians a 3rd party is needed and i think maybe the europeans are not going to be sufficient because there's a lot of those that have stakes in this issue including the chinese imports huge
10:15 pm
amounts of war from the gulf including the russians who are involved more and more of the gulf but primarily the arab world that is there the gulf countries and iraq and other countries so i think it's probably we're going to have to go to a logical an international conference to discuss not only the nuclear deal but gulf security so that the iranians also have a stake not only in destabilizing the gulf but instead the lies in the gulf on many thanks our senior political analyst moment bashar there live in london an earthquake has hit eastern pakistan killing at least 33 people and injuring hundreds more the 5.8 magnitude quake some percent it was close to the city of nepal in pakistan administered kashmir an emergency has been declared off the homes and cars were badly damaged when roads collapsed the quake brought down an entire building as people were fleeing the area people there reported walls swaying with
