probation. seize this moment to honor our overriding promise to the british people respect breaks it get it done i commend this statement. thank you mr speaker i would like to thank the prime minister of copy of the statement but what we have before us is a rehashed version of previously rejected proposals put put the good friday agreement at risk that would trigger a race to the bottom on rights and protections for work because consumers and our precious environment given the seriousness of this issue and the vagueness of the proposals so far can the prime minister tell this house if and when he plans to publish the full legal text that he must submit to the e.u. these proposals would lead to an even worse deal than that agreed by the former
7:34 pm
prime minister the prime minister has signed up to the backstopping cabinet and he voted for the withdrawal agreement in as a backbencher his letter to the president of the commission yesterday claims both and now unacceptable perhaps he can tell us. what is change why did he support it then but oppose it now the letter makes his intentions clear it rejects any form it rejects any form of customs union something demanded by every business and industry body in britain and every trade union they want to ditch a use standards on workers' rights environmental regulations and consumer standards and engage in a race to the bottom deal or no tail deal or no deal mr speaker this government's agenda is clear they want a trump to yell brakes it. from to your brakes it would crash our. calame and ripple way the standards that put
7:35 pm
a flaw and up people's rights at work to protect our environment and protect our consumers no labor m.p. could support such a reckless steal will be used as a springboard. to as a springboard to attack rights and standards in this country the truth is that after 3 is this government still has found an arts of the solving the issue of the arash border and the good friday agreement where once the government was committed to having no border in ireland they're now proposing to borders in are ripping up the u.k. e.u. joint report from december 2017 so can the prime minister confirm the government is now abandoned their commitment to the people of northern ireland that they would ensure there is no physical infrastructure all related checks and controls on the
7:36 pm
island of ireland i'm sorry i'm only quoting what the government said. mrs baker while the e.u. leaders have been lukewarm the response from businesses in northern ireland has been very stark going wrong but the head of retail northern ireland said the proposal would lead to north-south tariffs with a quote huge negative impact on farmers and the agri food sector he went on to say and i quote it would also mean to borders requiring a new will after 4 years surveillance in border communities without their consent and checks north south and west east to mckenzie the chair of the federation of small businesses from northern ireland was absolutely clear she said all the promises of unfettered access have been abandoned northern ireland is a small business economy and this is the death knell for some of those businesses. mr speaker these plan. ends are simply unworkable. this is fake but what we have
7:37 pm
before us is not a serious proposal to break the deadlock instead these proposals a nothing more than a cynical attempt by the prime minister to shift the blame for his failure to deliver. we can only conclude we can only conclude his political adviser was telling the truth when he called the negotiations with the e.u. a sham so can the prime minister give a clear on to one question if. if he doesn't get a deal at the october council summit will he abide by the laws of this country the a.t.o. withdrawal number to act and request an extension to avoid a disastrous no deal. mr speaker the government's proposals another serious no credible labor consulted with u.k.
7:38 pm
industry businesses and unions only a need for i comprehensive customs union close single market alignment and robust protection for workers' rights and environmental standards we need an extension for serious negotiations towards the sort of deal that labor has set out and then let the people decide they want the sensible deal or remain the current proposals would damage the whole u.k. economy and the northern irish economy especially and would undermine the good friday agreement. they would delay to rice to the bottom on workers' rights environmental rights. and straight back on straight back even the limited protections its predecessor had agreed to instead especially in the last few months building consensus in parliament and across the e.u. . the prime minister has put forward proposals he knows won't be acceptable either
7:39 pm
in brussels a westminster underwood or we're going to leave the leader of britain's main opposition party jeremy corbyn all labor responding to promise to boris johnson is statement about his brags that proposals which have been presented to the e.u. the prime minister saying that the proposals don't deliver everything that he would have wished for they are a compromise jeremy koeppen saying that they simply unworkable not a serious proposal to break the deadlock they get even worse than the deal but his predecessor reason may had. negotiated let's go live to al-jazeera showing a hole for some analysis he's just outside parliament jonah what are we to make of that. well the other element to what's been said in that little exchange between jeremy colvin and the prime minister boris johnson it was johnson saying look we've been we've shown great flexibility in
7:40 pm
reaching these compromise proposals for the e.u. if they don't show similar flexibility in meeting them well then we will leave with no deal and we are ready to do so jeremy corbin at the end of that little exchange there said will you comply with the act of that is now in place requiring you to get an extension or a delay to bragg's it in the event that you don't get a deal well we haven't heard mr johnson's on so to that but we know that tacitly at least the government is saying they will not comply with that law even though they're not saying quite how they intend to get around it look this was boris johnson once again in front of a pretty hostile house of commons of parliament that has stood in the way of his plans up to now and may well stand in the way of his plans yet to come the plan now of course is to get a new deal from the european union one that can pass with a majority in this house of commons he's got to show the european union that there is a majority for a new deal in order to encourage them to engage at all with these proposals there
7:41 pm
extruded extremely lukewarm as it is he will claim that he's got the makings of a majority he's got the democratic unionists on sides he's got elements at least of heartbreaks it is on the right of his party but what he can't conceal and indeed what the next few days and weeks will reveal is that he has no working majority the numbers if anything a potentially more difficult for him than they were for 2 reason may the opposition is united as you heard from jeremy corbyn they're against these proposals labor has called them not credible not workable a cynical ruse to try and force through a no deal breaks of the lib dems call it ludicrous the s.n.p. calls it a day plan designed to fail there are in essence in the house of commons now as far as johnson speaks to opposing forces a force of will those who won. a deal who are willing to compromise willing a deal into shape and a force of resistance those who simply don't trust the prime minister anymore don't trust his motives are determined to ensure that if there isn't
7:42 pm
a deal to be had that he complies with that backbench law requiring a delay and they're simply not prepared to do anything at to help him until that comes into being a gentlemanly thing such as in this journal live in london time now for sports with saddam. thank you very much a.j. and welcome to the international stadium in doha where always a history was made by british sprinter dena ash a smith she became the 1st woman from her country so when goals in the 200 meters the day also featured plenty of other drama on the track as well malik reports. deena ashley smith can now call herself a world champion all eyes are on the briton in lane 7 for the women's 200 meter final the 23 year old was the favorite following an impressive season and moreover

7:45 pm
women to be in sorry karen 2021 actually i'm very surprised at a fantastic performance to win 100 meters but she's 32 interactions smith is just 23 i really feel that that sprinting is really all there for the next few years and i was reading up about she's a fascinating character she started a political philosophy called how does that help to slow the little snots because i learned before these low temperatures are to say it's not to help with athletics make sure you see the different kind of personality she's different character and this is how people respond so you know people are curnow a lot of stand out from the crowd a little bit more charismatic and this is why they're set to become so big stars as well that let x. in the next few years thank you very much i will hear from you later on. now for the titles to be decided on thursday the women's $400.00 metres and women's. and at the day and soft at midnight local time with the final disciplines in the hip south lawn and it has a lot away from the athletics hold as liverpool were given a scare at home in the champions league by cells but liverpool is branded as 3 goal

lead and were pegged back but a 4th from most gave the reds a full 3 win and that's least for now more later and now it's back to. saddam many thanks indeed that's it from the news out as it will be here some tape here with a more space to use just a few moments i for watching i'll see you get my foot up. on the streets of greece anti immigrant violence is on the rise there or you have to go from other potential and this and that prove this is all fun plus ism and
7:47 pm
7:48 pm
every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories joined the listening post as we turn the cameras on the media when the intelligence services control much of egyptian media it becomes an extension of the arm of the president and focus on how they would count on the stories that matter the most getting an accurate informative story out of there is not these they pose it too late we already have the information they're listening pounced on al-jazeera. clamped down on a rocky anger curfews are imposed following 3 days of anti-government protests.
7:49 pm
a lot has i'm sick of this is edges the live from doha also coming up the u.k. prime minister urges m.p.'s to back his brags it plan in the national interest as he lays it out in part of. talks to help defuse tensions nigeria's president is in south africa after a wave of xenophobic attacks plus. the next well go on board the greenpeace campaign ship as brands are reporting on a unique scientific expedition off the coast of south america. hello sporadic gunfire has been heard in the iraqi capital where anti-government protesters are defying a curfew. but this video shows people inside doing district apparently running to avoid a live fire from security forces that came into force in the early hours of this morning at least 20 iraqis have been killed in 3 days of the. i'm
7:50 pm
a stray she is against corruption lack of jobs and poor public services most of them died in southern iraq legislative imran khan joins us on the phone now from baghdad so him and tell us what you're seeing and hearing there right now. what's going on is that the protesters here in central baghdad are trying to regroup and move on to talk or a square which is the focal point for the protest movement what's being happening that they haven't been able to regroup in large numbers and they've been. beaten back by the security forces what's happening is they want to march on into her square around 3 o'clock local farm which is just kind of. just a matter of telling her it's a real problem now for the protest movement because of the curfew they can't seem to get a max number of people out onto the streets and that's really the government's
7:51 pm
tactic is to try and stop them coming out in large numbers. and a lot of frustration and anger clearly being felt in iraq 1 over there over the government and the lack of basic services lack of jobs and so on so how do we understand all this in that context and and how these protests to come about. well the protests are coming because there has been a crucial building up of anger over the years from a particular young so again sector of society feels it and have the children that are the opportunities and what's happening now the protest movement. toward the security forces because of the number of people who have died now in fact that there's a curfew in place in a few other cities. a curfew in place but it doesn't mean that the protest movement will not be out in the streets it looks like and feels like it will be because now
7:52 pm
it's not just about children opportunity and access to services anymore it's about the security services be a lot of people talk at this cycle that happening now of people seeing things on television during the protest saying thing was going to happening and getting more and more angry and they want to restrict however this is a single leaderless movement so there's no one the government can really negotiate with. whether this gets resolved quickly or not remains to be seen but those problems even if it does get results. remain you still have lack of opportunity lack of job and that's going to be a structural change the government needs to you simply can't conjure up millions of jobs overnight in iran for the moment by so much human colony in baghdad for. britain's prime minister boris johnson has delivered his new proposals to new regs it talks with the european union forwards it includes a new regulatory zone in northern ireland to replace the backstop arrangement in
7:53 pm
the existing with joel deal it would also require nolan island's parliament to consent to any regulatory changes. the essence of our new proposal is a new protocol on our land in northern ireland consisting of 5 elements. in the 1st place all our actions are based on our shared determination to sustain the belfast good friday agreement the fundamental basis of governance in northern ireland the protection of which is the highest priority of all and from this follows the 2nd principle namely that we shall of course uphold all the longstanding areas of cooperation between the u.k. and our friends in ireland including the rights of all those living in northern ireland and north south corp the common travel area which predates both the good friday agreement and the european union itself. 3rd we propose the potential creation of a regular preserve on the island of island covering all goods including agra food
7:54 pm
for as long as it exists this would eliminate all regulatory checks for trade in goods between them and moving our. agenda how is life for say in london way more all nice and gentle as we're coming to you the prime minister continued to take questions there from from and pays in the house of commons what else we've been saying. well i think the key passages in the statement that boris johnson delivered to the house there was that he said we have shown great flexibility in reaching these compromise proposals credible and fair he calls them for the european union if our european neighbors he said don't show similar willingness to compromise well we will have to leave with no deal and we are ready and willing to do so he was tackled by jeremy
7:55 pm
corbyn the opposition leader on that who said would he not be complying with and more that was passed last month in parliament requiring him to get a delay if he can't pass a deal through the house of commons he said the idea of a delay is not an option that commends itself to me people want no more did or delay on bragg's if they want to break seems to get done now i think that statement will divide this house of commons as he continues as you say to take questions and he's trying to sell to them these new proposals the merits of a new deal with the european union indeed he's trying to sell that new deal to the e.u. the e.u. will only engage if they believe there is evidence that there is actually a majority in the house for a new deal he will claim that there is he's got on sides elements of the democratic unionists the heartbreaks tears on the right of his party but the numbers are still against him he has no working majority and the opposition parties are aligned united against him the labor party jeremy corbyn they're saying these are not credible workable proposals a race to the bottom on rights and standards reckless to the economy the lib dems
7:56 pm
have called them ludicrous the scottish national party a plan designed to fail this is a house of commons divided against boris johnson is has blocked his plans in the past it may well do so again on one side they will be a force of will willing a new deal into being into shape on the other side a very strong force of resistance who simply don't trust him don't trust him to stick to the plan to the north as it is who will do everything they can to ensure that he complies with the law and gets a delay so breaks it if indeed he isn't able to get a credible deal and there are many many m.p.'s who don't see these proposals as credible and general what sort of reception these proposals are getting or likely to get in europe. well pretty lukewarm this all came out on wednesday of course they were published handed over to brussels on wednesday the government saying look let's negotiate that's going to do what's called a tunnel between now and october the 17th where we don't risk any leaks we don't
7:57 pm
tell anybody else what's going on it's put our heads down and negotiate use this as a basis of a landing zone he called it for a deal well the european commission has rejected that idea of tunnel negotiations. says these are problematic leader varadkar the irish teashop he's key of course arlen stands to lose the most among members says these proposals don't offer the guarantees of the previous backstop but one of his ministers earlier did say they formed at least the basis for discussions and discussions there will be boris johnson is about to embark on a tour of e.u. capitals 1st to go and see angela merkel in berlin it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that he comes up with something ahead of october the 17th that e.u. summit although on the strength of available evidence it looks unlikely all right john howell live for us there in london thanks john. on nigeria's president is visiting south africa following attacks on foreign owned businesses there last
7:58 pm
month mamadou harvey says he's discussing the welfare of his people the nigerian government flew 600 citizens home following attacks in johannesburg south african owned businesses in nigeria were targeted in retaliation for me to miller joins us live now from pretoria so for me to 2 leaders have been a meeting what have they been saying. well they use the opportunity for both presidents to emphasize the seam porton strategic relationship between nigeria and south africa and this is an important relationship for south africa 64 percent of its trade in west africa in that region is in nigeria alone so this really is an occasion where both countries have wanted to forge a way forward in terms of with this relationship goes and it has been under a certain amount of strain given the xenophobic attacks in south africa where
7:59 pm
nationals from other african countries were targeted now the both presidents of south africa and nigeria have said that they've spoken about this issue at great length and what they want to do is put in place mechanisms to deal with such violence that targets foreign nationals put in place an early warning system and have greater cooperation between intelligence services in both countries as well as the police they say there has to be a way to deal with this so that these kind of events don't happen again that has been of concern to both governments given this important relationship that they have acknowledged the importance of not having a repeat of xenophobic violence and no one is always what is this visit then mean to south africans. well for south africans were here to see this type of meeting trickle down to people in this
8:00 pm
country who are frustrated by the social and economic issues and given what president said he blames these kind of conditions for what's behind some of the violence the public violence he calls it in south africa where foreign nationals have been targeted they've also had south african businesses in this country affected as well he is stressed the importance of south africans and nigerians abiding by the rule of law having to respect each other's countries this both in nigeria in south africa essentially both leaders have held each other accountable for dealing with the issue of sin of violence we. said instances of people not liking each other essentially for south africans it is recognition for from the government that they are deeper issues that the government has made known that it should deal with for me. in pretoria thanks for you.
