al-jazeera. and. you know watching out as they are a reminder of our top stories this hour. a british tank that iran had detained in the strait of hormuz is leaving iranian waters said to him piro departed from the port where it was taken after being seized in july. iran's president is demanding proof from those who claim to run for the attack in saudi arabia he says talks with the us a possible but only if sanctions are lifted he also says don't know trumps moxon

pressure tactics working. u.s. democrats are appealing for witnesses to come forward with evidence on donald trump's july phone call with the ukrainian leader trump is accused of pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden. now the former british prime minister john major says boris johnson might use what he described as political chicanery to go ahead with a no deal breaks it major fears the prime minister could use an. encountered saw from the queen to override a law that's designed to stop it happening on october 31st he warns that if that route is taken it will be a flagrant defiance of parliament. our correspondent joins us live from outside the british parliament so no war is for prime minister john major's main concern with the current prime minister boyd's johnston strategy.

well really it comes down to this that he is vocalizing exactly what many moderates within the conservative party feel which is the fact that the premiership of boris johnson is proving to be extremely divisive and as he puts it acting like a tribute band for the bracks it party to try and force through a vision of bracks it or if not to go ahead and exits the european union without a deal which deems being very dangerous now this political chicanery that he talked of would cause a constitutional crisis or it could it could be done but it would really completely absolve any of the actions taken by parliament or indeed the traditional system here so without a mind it just really would append the whole constitutional process here and throw the country to crisis which hasn't seen centuries and with that in mind john major

it also to cry it's a very divisive approach that boris johnson has taken so far. the government seems intent on. by using emotional and evocative language that can only provoke fear and anger and fuel grievances against parliament and the law consider. this. it means this government wishes to. incite opposition to the most. and. of course given all the turmoil and there's been a lot of the this week how is brussels reacting what are they saying. well really there's not really a very optimistic approach with regards to getting

a deal certainly before the end of october which is their deadline even though the u.k. is deadline is before the u.k. at the summit in brussels in in the middle of october but what they are going to be doing on friday is meeting up with the. cli where they will discuss further options there but really they have little to work on in terms of how they try and go forward in terms of a deal of course the main sticking point is a backstop in northern ireland there as well about how to circum navigate that now there have been no one papers which the british have given to brussels but also this is also concerning are the ideas such as regulations concerning farming sanitary etc now what the u.k. brussels is saying is that they want the e.u. to move on their positions there which they won't do as they've spent about 55 years trying to come up with a system which works perfectly for them and unless they can get over these tiny

hindrances of trying to sort of get some kind of regulation that works for both sides there really is very little hope as the you says to try and formulate a deal by the end of the month. so you're going to go in westminster thank you for that. un investigator has dismissed comments from the saudi crown prince who has spoken publicly for the 1st time on the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi but haven't been solomon says he bears responsibility for the king killing but didn't know it was going to happen but says saudi authorities have stifled her investigation. reports from new york. she spent months investigating the killing of saudi journalists. and concluded it was deliberate premeditated and extrajudicial un special rapporteur. also found credible evidence linking. to crown prince mohammed bin.

a number of issues of bills that the parliament has been looking to past one of them is the new anti corruption law they say this will be can the power of the anti corruption agency but this bill was passed last week and the students want to have it repealed there's also the pending criminal code which could criminalize things like abortion make it illegal to insult the president ban extra marital relations and also tighten the rights in addition to this it could also have severe consequences for freedom of expression now more broadly there's also anger around other issues like land rights the forest fires in sumatra and also in borneo now the movement is not specifically organized by any one particular group but it does fall under one major concern for the protesters they want to protect their civil liberties and they say the what they want the president to do more now given the outcry president has said that he wants to have a meeting with the protestors to discuss this and resolve the situation but so far no meeting has been scheduled yet egypt's president has returned to cairo where

more anti government protests are being planned for friday. sisi was in new york for the u.n. general assembly that's where amnesty international leaders to confront him about the crackdown on demonstrators egypt says its questioning of 2000 people and 2000 are being hurled. and in mexico protests against the disappearance of dozens of students 5 years ago have turned violent. it's believed that gang abducted the 43 students with the help of corrupt security forces nobody's being convicted demonstrators marched through mexico city demanding justice the government says it will reopen the case. the u.s. is proposing to cut the number of refugees it allows into the country if the plan is approved the number will be limited 218000 down from $30000.00 a year that's an all time low human rights groups have criticized the move. article hayden has more from washington d.c. . the u.s.

president donald trump has made this a key campaign issue he wants to send a message to his core supporters that he is cracking down on immigration this goes a step further this will be the lowest number of refugees allowed into the u.s. since the law passed in the refugee program in 1980 look at just 18000 refugees and really restricting where those come from to 3 different areas iraqis who helped the u.s. during the invasion about 1500 central american migrants and 5000 people facing religious persecution so the president has sent this number he had to do it before october 1st the beginning of the fiscal year now under the law he has to consult with congress he hasn't done that in the past it doesn't appear he's done that now now congress could take steps to try and rein in the president on this issue we've seen in the democratically controlled house they've passed legislation that would increase this number but it's highly unlikely that it would get through the republican controlled senate controlled by the president's own party now we could

see human rights groups try to file lawsuits try and block this very low number just to put in perspective barack obama had about 110000 refugees now going down 218000 the courts have been unwilling in most cases to take up these sorts of cases because the president is seen when it comes to this issue is having broad latitude francis to hold a national day of mourning on monday following the death of former leader jacques chirac 86 year olds lengthy career included 2 terms as both president and prime minister during that period he became a champion of the european single currency and a vocal opponent of the u.s. led war in iraq well these are live pictures from the leaves a part in paris the french president's residence has been opened to the public to allow people to pay their respects thousands have been chewing in the corner to sign a book of condolence. well the world's top athletes are here in qatar for the world

anchor we've seen footage of that being broadcast on state media pull up anchor at around 530 g.m.t. 9 o'clock local or wrong time and in that statement that or that statement i should say was followed by a report from quoting the owner of the vessel stan a bald saying that they had information that the ship had been released that they were expecting it to be in international waters right around now right around 10 g.m.t. they also said it was on route to the united arab emirates and that they had a well prepared security plan in place for when the vessel reaches international waters and saying how might this affect tensions in the region. well certainly this was one of the main issues hanging over the heads of iranian officials that were part of the delegation to the u.n. general assembly earlier this week now ahead of president hassan rouhani strip to

the u.n. we're no doubt world leaders we're going to grill him about this the remote opal statements by the government by the foreign ministry by the president's office by even the ambassador to the united kingdom the center imperio is of course a british flag vessel and in those statements they also the same thing the legal procedures had been finished the ban the detention of this vessel had been lifted and it was free to go now it's taken a few days to complete the process present hasan rouhani is expected back in the country later today and the timing is likely not a coincidence that the ship is being released as the president returns and the foreign minister he has directed foreign minister zarif to stay behind in new york a few more days to brief government officials to brief world leaders about a proposed peace plan and now there's no doubt that the taking of the vessel sort of reflected how iran is the watchman the police of this section of the strait of hormuz but president hassan rouhani has been saying for many days now that he has a horror movie peace plan in place for peace and hope in the hormuz strait

involving all of the actors in the region the release of this ship is seen as a magnanimous step it is meant to illustrate that iran may be the watchman in the police of the strait of hormuz but it is also the caretaker it is reasonable it can be dealt with through dialogue and no doubt this is meant to help foreign minister zarif efforts in trying to push this proposal for an iran led peace plan meant to rival the calls by the united states and its allies in the region like saudi arabia and the u.a.e. for a maritime coalition that would go contrary to iran's interests in the strait of hormuz in the waters of the gulf and so this plan by present is meant to be something that pushes against the idea of another you. u.s. coalition and international coalition here in the middle east certainly this is meant to be something to try to warm relations with european countries and other countries and to show that iran can be dealt with through dialogue ok's a mystery

a fast moving story there as we've been speaking the swedish owner of the vessel has just said that ship has now reached international waters a fast moving story indeed we'll be back with you of course as the day pounds zain bistrot be inside iran thank you very much indeed. so the news now saudi arabia's foreign minister has urged the international community to band together to combat iran following attacks on 2 of its major oil facilities this month the kingdom says iran was behind the attacks but tehran denies that ibrahim the us of told the u.n. general assembly that cutting off financial resources was the best way to control iran. today we be a historic responsibility the credibility of this organization and the entire world is at stake the iranian regime is left with one of 2 options either become a normal state that respects international laws and norms or face an

internationally unified position that uses all instruments of pressure into tyrannous. well rosalyn georgia and has more now from the united nations. the saudi foreign minister's remarks could have been delivered by the israeli foreign minister or indeed by the us president donald trump that's because mr assad was very very critical of what he said has been iran's deliberately provocative and violent behavior across the middle east most notably with the attack on a saudi oil process a facility in the east of that country back on september 14th mr us often called on the international community to unify and to try to make it very clear to terror that this sort of behavior is an act of war and is not going to be tolerated he used language which the americans have been putting forward in recent months regarding iran using maximum pressure to try to get the government in tehran to

change its behavior and to ultimately return to negotiations with the u.s. on its nuclear program however it's worth pointing out that even though this attack happened nearly 2 weeks ago there is yet to have been a security council meeting to discuss what happened and to try to figure out what should be the diplomatic way forward which is of course something that ambassador sitting on the security council really prefer to pursue that said it's very clear that the saudis are not thinking that they're going to be making any friends with terror on any time soon and that's all of this automatic process of continuing their political rivalry will continue the u.s. will send patriot missiles radio systems and $200.00 soldiers to bolster saudi arabia's defenses david's a rush is on the so see a professor at the middle east institute but he says in reality the u.s. isn't sending many troops it's a relatively small deployment $200.00 is roughly

a battery so this would be. a fair the sort of thing that we do routinely to protect their fields or things of that nature these sorts of units have been deployed to trouble spots frequently and you know honestly about 6 months ago we moved about the same number of troops out of the gulf to other regions so you could argue there's just we're returning the same capability that was there 6 months ago the patriot is designed to defect against protect against ballistic missiles which operate in very high up and come very high down the attacks were by drones and cruise missiles which operate at a low level if you defend against one then they have to attack the other but if they're using one method that means you can't drop it so the patriot will help ballistic missile defense it'll help increase confidence it may allow the saudis to move other weapon systems that have been searching up high to search for cruise

missiles and drones but it won't by itself completely stop the possibility that sort of attack we just saw. well the runs president says demanding proof from those who blame teheran for the attack in saudi arabia has some rouhani said talks with the u.s. are possible but only if sanctions are lifted elsa's said the trumpet ministrations maximum pressure tactics are not working or diplomatic editor james bays reports from the u.n. . they spoke at the same podium in the un general assembly hall they were in the same city for 4 days but all high hopes of a breakthrough following a flurry of diplomatic activity led by the french president emmanuel merkel came to nothing no progress and no meeting between president trump and president rouhani the dangerous deadlock continues his trump perhaps was preoccupied by the impeachment allegations against him that were being formed while he was in new york

developments the iranians were clearly following closely mr president while you've been here in the u.s. how closely are you following political developments here and is iran's best hope now president trump either being impeached or being defeated in next year's election. with regard to what's happening here in america we hear the news of what's happening but it doesn't matter for us because it's an internal matter for america what's very important for us is that the american government restores the damage trust back to the world. for now the u.s. is focusing on the drone attack in saudi arabia and it clearly wants to use its assertion that iran was behind that to add to its maximum pressure campaign on terror ron what i expect to see happen is when saudi arabia concludes its investigation and is done with the site exploitation where the attacks took place

and cake that they will then refer this matter to the u.n. security council for appropriate action i think that's the right thing to do because this was an attack on the world and it requires a response from the world u.n. officials agree that this is coming back here to the security council the u.n. have had 2 separate experts in saudi arabia and they're mandated to formally report their findings james pays out zira of the united nations has more still to come on the news hour including egypt's leader heads from the u.n. to cairo where a planned protest set for shops to clunes and put a rule change in the u.s. means for the hundreds of thousands of refugees to settle their. u.s. democrats are appealing for any witnesses to donald trump's phone calls the ukrainian press.
