rights and environmental protections to answer your question as to whether it's done enough to get the deal through we won't know until later this afternoon the numbers really are still too tight boris johnson the prime minister believes he can count now on the support of around 266 conservative m.p.'s they're all pretty much loyal to him he's got around 9 labor rebels who have indicated that they will defy the party whip and side with the government on this there are around 14 independents now what he needs in total is $320.00 if you can get to $320.00 he passes the deal but there are potential pitfalls along the way there is the possibility of an amendment passing a sort of a letter an amendment which even if the deal passes would force a delay until legislation can be passed actually implementing the deal it's a rather technical term it's a rather technical amendment but it's designed to prevent the government pulling

any fast ones with the m.p.'s and kind of preventing going accidentally on purpose if you like to a no deal bracks it's on october 31st despite the votes in the house let's hear though from the prime minister trying to encourage m.p.'s that his deal is the best thing that they have that is why he's now so urgent for us to move on and to build a new relationship with our friends in the e.u. on the basis of a new deal a deal that can heal the rift in british politics you know you. unite the warring instincts in our soul and now is the time. for this great house of commons to come together and bring the country together to do. and paul not surprisingly a stinging rebuff from jeremy corbyn he said look you know the government can't be

trusted 'd. he said that labor will not back what he described as a sell out deal what more that he have to say when he said labor wouldn't be duped i mean on friday the government came out and in a bid to try and win over some labor votes some labor m.p.'s said that there would be additional protections they were issuances given on workers' rights and on environmental protection subjects which are very close to everybody's heart but particularly to the labor m.p.'s hearts there were concerns for example as jeremy corbin said that this would father starting on a race to the bottom that said though the degree of distrust between the 2 men personally and politically is enormous and the sense that boris johnson may well go for a no deal bracks a 2 year about 18 months from now and 2020 it's still

a tangible sentiment among opposition m.p.'s that even if they pass this deal now if the trade talks which followed the votes of this deal through the transition period come to no fruition at the end of the transition period that britain could still leave the european union on top of you to your rules effectively without a deal that's a concern of labor m.p.'s and the labor leader jeremy corbett is very angry and he's adamant that labor cannot back the government's deal let's have a listen. he has renegotiated the withdrawal agreement and maybe even worse. he's renegotiated the political declaration and made that even worse we're having a debate today on a tax through which there is no economic impact assessment and no accompanying legal advice this government has sought to avoid scrutiny throughout the process and yesterday evening made empty promises on workers' rights and the environment.

and the reality is that this might not actually come to a vote today strange as it might seem if the left when amendment passes number 10 downing street the forest johnson's center of operation says let it be known they will pull the votes before it actually gets to a division if the let win meant passes and then we'll come back on monday and vote for it then it's going to be a very very tense day here at westminster all right up there in westminster live for us paul thank you very much let's cross over now if we can enjoy a neve barker he's in belfast need so let's talk about the democratic unionist because they've already said look we're not going to back boris johnson's deal so how are northern ireland's different communities reacting to one of this. we don't have very much depends on which community you come from which political parties back the nationalists have somewhat reluctantly supported boris johnson

still largely because they see it as the the the lesser of 2 evils for stances deal promises that there will be no return to a hard order given the fact the dissident republicans have threatened to target any kind of fifa structure on the border or near the border this is seen reluctantly as i said as a as a positive move as it were by the prime minister but if you come of course from a unionist background well across the board whether you're a hardline loyalist or a more moderate unit unionists is being seen as as betrayal and i think a body language from the g.p. there in westminster gave some of master a way arms crossed heads down shaking their heads at times we know that 10 of the d.p.s. m.p.'s all of their m.p.'s there in westminster have said that they will not back this vote a toll we've also heard something rather alarming overnight as well coming from a senior loyalist figure who has said that various different. parts of the unionist political spectrum as it were have been talking so hardline loyalist unionists and

they are planning what has been described as possibly some kind of action that doesn't exclude the possibility of quote civil disobedience as well that's how strongly certain. parts of that union a spectrum of spawn doing to johnson's deal seen as a slow annexation by the irish republic of northern ireland the would do you do an ist of course is highly symbolic highly important unionists want to remain closely economically politically and symbolically bound to the united kingdom and anything that threatens that undermines that in the form of a de facto customs border down the middle of the irish sea will be firmly rejected and that's what we're about to see with the e.p. vote and just talk us through the impact then that briggs that has had there in northern ireland because the border if we did in reminding the contentious backstop has been central throughout this brings that debate hasn't.

absolutely people of northern ireland to realize the republic of ireland as well particularly people living close to the border have been living on something of a of a knife edge when it comes to the possible impact of bricks it whether it be a no deal or whether indeed does turn into an eventual deal is a tall ship on there there have been repeated threats from dissident republican groups that if there was no deal if there was a return to hard infrastructure on the border that there would be an upsurge in violence and of course blood has been spilt on the border piece was hard fought over many many years there has been stability here for the past 20 years and economically and politically and emotionally people on both sides of the border have benefited from a being opened from there being that comparative calm but of course breaks it has meant people have had to reconsider their lives and livelihoods farmers have been worried about the impact on perishable goods being able to go back and forth manufacturers whose goods go back and forth multiple times before there's

a finished product are deeply worried about the impact on their firms and their companies as well are very lastly a recent bit of research by queen's university here in belfast question people about the emotional impact on them for multiple years now of these bricks it talks going on and people have repeatedly said one word of powerlessness they feel that their lives their livelihoods are being decided by politicians far away in london that don't really take into consideration what life is like here and the possible impacts of a bad move on tony baka there in belfast need thank you and obviously just remind our viewers we will stay with coverage of this 2nd briggs's deal and the vote on your screens which is settled take place later on today we don't have an exact time they don't know the exact time either but of course we'll bring it to you here when it happens on how does this. let's move on protesters gathering on the streets of lebanon's capital beirut as the call for political change grows on friday tens of

thousands rallied pushing for what they're calling a revolution the prime minister saad hariri has given a rival groups in his government are blocking his reforms 72 hours to find a solution at least 2 people have died during the demonstrations reports from beirut. for a 2nd day and night thousands filled the streets of beirut calling for the government to go. in for the 1st time on such a large scale it's not about where you are allegiances lie in this deeply divided sectarian country it's not about cos all walks of life are united against the political leadership he's been a that's what rights that country is what i'm in the. garbage and the number that we've fed up with him for the future. there's no future for jobs at all and this is not acceptable anymore we have stood up for a long time and now it's time to talk protesters blocked all major roads bringing

large parts of the capital to a standstill they remained on the streets well into the night the army used tear gas and water cannon to try to disperse the crowds the army has said that it will from now on come down harder on the protesters that it doesn't want to see these kinds of scenes of destruction on the streets but everyone we've been speaking to say that they will continue to come out to protest that they are fed up of years of empty promises by the politicians and they want change gears of a crippling economic crisis has left many lebanese struggling to make ends meet it's been made worse by political upheaval and the arrival of one and a half 1000000 syrian refugees who fled the war lebanon is the 3rd largest debt in the world the government is trying to secure $11000000000.00 in aid banks russian foreign currency last month and. state of economic emergency was declared the latest protest was triggered on thursday when the government announced plans to

charge people for using the whatsapp messaging service that was the tipping point for population for straighted by a growing cost of living what many call a dysfunctional state the mass turnout forced the government to drop the tax plan but it hit a nerve resulting in nationwide protests. prime minister saddle had to be canceled friday's cabinet meeting and says his efforts to bring in much needed reforms have been repeatedly blocked by others in government no one is taking responsibility here but job or i'm giving our partners in the government a very short deadline 72 hours to give us a solution that can convince us and the people in the streets and our international partners but there is little trust left in the political elite who has run this country for decades people are hungry people are struggling people are tired everyone says these protests are on precedented and they are determined to continue

stephanie decker al jazeera beirut. well has. addressed the political crisis saying the group doesn't want the government to resign or knack a out well an act we have more options there are choices that we can take and proposals ideas that we discussed before in the cabinet and we need to make it clear it's wrong to say that the government has no other choice than imposing taxes if we cooperate give priority to take anomic state will be able to save our country we don't want the government to resign if it does it will take one or 2 years to form a new one and the economic crisis will worsen. zana has more now from beirut when you talk to people here as well as the organizers the civil society movements they say they will not be the terror that their protests will continue harsher government crackdown is not. to stop them behind me you see a few dozen people gathering outside the government palace chanting revolution

revolution is still in the early hours of the morning we are expecting more people to arrive here as the day moves on but at the end of the day the government did you was heavy handed tactics yesterday they dispersed the crowd here late last night using tear gas they forced to leave open the roads because protesters were blocking roads and highways burning tires they they forcibly opened those roads especially the one leading to and and from the airport now the response from the politicians is that we're clinging on to power the prime minister how do you he did not resign what he did was he gave a 72 hour deadline to his political partners he didn't name them but his political partners it has been. a lie and he told them you have been obstructing my efforts to carry out reforms now we have 72 hours to do just that riot police in the spanish city of basra lonna rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters who surrounded the police headquarters and set fires in the streets more than half

a 1000000 people march of the capital on the 5th day of protests there are angry at the jailing of 9 separatist leaders for their roles in catalonia failed independence bid 2 years ago a general strike in boston a small shops and many tourist attractions closed on the border crossing into france was also blocked somebody was right in the middle of the protests the boat began as a day of the still protesting as now descended into rioting full on in the city center just between the police and these protesters it started off with tens of thousands of people coming out from inside the city from the city into the city center then they began to take on the police outside the national police headquarters here in the city the smoke from being thrown. riotous in turn throwing pavement so. the police very very great destination it's violence now the truce in northern syria is largely holding despite accusations from both kurdish forces and

turkey of violations turkish president russia typo on has won the offensive in the eighty's syria will resume within minutes of kurdish rebels don't abide by the terms of the 5 day cease fire your sect of state might pump aoe says he's optimistic it will hold despite signs of shelling on friday or hopeful in the hours ahead that both both the turks who were part of the agreement alongside of us as well as the white b.g. fighters in the region will take seriously the commitments that they made and that we will actually achieve within the next now 96 hours the commitments that were laid out in paragraphs one through 13 of the agreement one of our senior members of donald trump's republican parties the latest to criticize his decision to withdraw troops from northern syria senate majority leader mitch mcconnell called it a grave strategic mistake rob reynolds has more now from washington d.c. . president trump is now facing a unprecedented degree of pushback from members of his own party people who

normally have been staunchly supporting him members of congress like senator mitt romney who was the republican presidential nominee in 2012 and who spoke on the floor of the senate saying that trump's decision to abandon the kurdish forces that had fought alongside the u.s. forces in northern syria amounted to a blood stain on the annals of american history senator mitch mcconnell the leader of the senate and an extremely important political figure in the united states and a scathing article for the washington post saying that trump's decision in syria had emboldened the assad regime and its allies iran had allowed russia to expand its influence in the greater middle east and risk reconstituting and reviving i sold the so-called islamic state mcconnell saying that in some trump's decisions

create a strategic nightmare for the united states and other republicans are very alarmed over the recent disclosures by the acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney that there was in fact a quid pro quo proposed by the president with the ukrainian president in that famous phone call that has now become the focus of an impeachment inquiry in the house of representatives well veiny tried to walk it back but a lot of people are really very impressed by those efforts now whether the erosion of support among leading republicans in washington will continue depends largely on trump's behavior there are some cracks that appear to be showing in the facade at least here in the among the ranks of fishel republicans in washington. well this is why in syria hasn't stopped people from paying smugglers to get them to safety more than 700 have crossed the border into iraq overnight and the united nations says

more than 3000 arrived there this week alone that's actually the name reports now from the kurdish region of northern iraq. after more than 8 years of on and off cease fires and being forced from their homes many times these refugees seemed unfazed by turkey's announcement of a 5 day pause in fighting the war in syria has shown them time after time peace is never assured and. peace live is not called life and it's called destruction if anyone says i my life what he should really say is i am that in the last 5 days the un's international organization of migration has screened more than 2300 syrian refugees smuggled into iraq refugees say they have no other option because kurdish fighters in syria are preventing them from crossing the border in the city and get out and witness sooty we are syrian but we hate our country we don't want to go

back and nedra and her sister each paid a smuggler $600.00 she says she and her 2 young children walked for 5 days. of his job a lot of them i was alone in the desert. do i love you love i hope everybody left it was just me and my children i was suffering. this latest wave joins the more than 1000000 refugees and internally displaced people already here in the kurdish region of northern iraq the government says the international funding it relies on has been cut in half its affecting its ability to provide basic services such as food water education and health care the influx is only adding to the financial pressure. the french foreign minister met the president of the kurdistan regional government on thursday and pledged about $11000000.00 to

alleviate the humanitarian emergency it's very soft i said if this is too much we hope the warring parties will get together and talk about peace again and except size so next to. the restaurant again none of the refugees we spoke to are thinking about returning they've lost all hope that syria will ever be the home they remembered before the war they tossed a good name al-jazeera the whole province in the kurdish region of northern iraq. the world's 1st bone of vaccine has been approved by european drug regulators the vaccine is already used under emergency guidelines to try to protect people against the spread of a deadly outbreak in democratic republic of congo it's the 2nd largest outbreak in history and has killed more than 2000 people well that's it for me down in jordan my colleague some he said down to be here with the news out in 30 minutes with more on that crucial debate and votes on briggs it will be the top story.

tool holders there are. they don't believe in a 2 state solution the deal you still believe in the 2 state solution we listen what i said was that pakistan would never start a war i'm anti war we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that are on the edges their own. hello i'm adrian figure this is counting the cost on al-jazeera a weekly look at the world of business and economics this week the 7 word tweet that proved too much for beijing the n.b.a. counts the cost as china silences critics and access to its 14 trillion dollar economy. a few years back you could rent an oil tanker for less than the price of

hiring a ferrari prices though an hour soaring will tell you why. the laziest fish farmers face hefty financial losses as pollution destroys the coastline. president donald trump called it a substantial phase one agreement but any talk of a truce of the trade war is pretty wide of the mark washington hasn't removed any tariffs and got a little relief for its famous beijing got crucial access to pork after its pig farmers were decimated by swine flu substantive issues still remain and there's an ongoing economic war in all but name washington slams $28.00 chinese tech companies with sanctions for their part of the repression of weaker muslims meantime beijing is using access to the chinese market as a weapon against those who criticize its policies and handling of hong kong protests the n.b.a. was the latest to step into the chinese quagmire as

a serious rob matheson reports from beijing. he sees one of the fastest ways for u.s. basketball to risk. losing billions of dollars of chinese investment has been a 7 word tweet daryl morey general manager of the houston rockets n.b.a. team voiced his support for hong kong protesters now chinese companies have been suspending sponsorship deals and t.v. coverage from n.b.a. games play where. we can no longer watching rocky smashers so i think a lot of rockets fans will be very sad but of course this matter involves a state level issues so we can't allow this to happen but the u.s. national basketball association has had a presence in china for more than 30 years and it's estimated about 300000000 people in china regularly played basketball a few months ago the chinese company 10 cent spent over one and a half $1000000000.00 securing the rights to continue streaming n.b.a.

games in china for the next 5 years and that's good news for about $500000000.00 chinese basketball fans who regularly watch those matches in 2018 it's estimated that the n.b.a. is market in china was worth $4000000000.00. china sensitivity about the hong kong protests hasn't just affected the n.b.a. a video game or was banned by gaming company activision blizzard for apparently supporting the hong kong demonstrations blizzard has insisted its decision was based on gaming rules and not on its china connections a chief economist at swiss bank has u.b.s. said in a podcast that an outbreak of swine flu in china would only matter to chinese pigs parts of china's financial sector called the comments distasteful and racist other companies including gap clothing marriott hotels and the daimler car group have been forced to apologize to china i think so different they your mindset.

in the western country you said 3 dumb of speach. in china we also have freedom of speech. but some areas. shouldn't facts but deeply. bottom line china seems to be saying that for those who rely on its money there are some lines which cannot be crossed joining us now via skype from manchester in the u.k. simon chadwick simon is a professor of sports enterprise itself a business school in manchester good to have you with us simon how do you see all of this playing out i mean the n.b.a. is a pretty big deal in china not only in terms of sport but in terms of jobs. i was actually really surprised by this incident because the n.b.a. for best for the 2 decades now has not only invested a lot of money but it's also invested a lot of time into their activities in china and this is really helped to not only

boost the n.b.a. in china itself but also to bust basketball more generally and so what you'll typically find is as many young chinese people are either active participants in basketball or else watch basketball so i think we have some major incident but i do expect it to to die down in the medium to long term i think in the short to medium term they're going to be some turbulence and certainly this week compared to last week it's been rather quieter. already and the n.b.a. and china really are so intertwined with one another i think there will be away for what ultimately for all concerned what does it mean for businesses away from sports who want to tap into this 14 trillion dollar economy i mean you'd have to take some pretty extraordinary measures to restrict the freedom of expression of your employees would you. well it's very interesting because over the last 10 days we have seen some businesses some sponsors commercial partners broadcasters really

stepping back from from china from the n.b.a. from the coverage of games that have taken place in china involving n.b.a. teams during that period so i think what it does show and we've seen this in other industrial sectors is that sport will now have to confront the reality of if it wishes to do business in china there is a certain way of saying and doing things and i guess is always this is not unusual because if you are operating in cats or if you're operating in great britain the same is true there are local norms local ways of doing things but i think ideologically in china politically it is so highly charged that essentially what we are beginning to see is is is really this clash of ideologies whereby principles of a western principles of free speech and open speech are being moderated or even curbed by the political necessities of operating in china and as i say it's the n.b.a. this time but i think moving forwards from here will find lots of other organizations

in supporting football in most sports and other areas facing similar issues of what it read you a quote which perhaps sums up what what you were saying it's from been hung from epsilon theory he says that companies need to make a choice he says do you want to preserve your authenticity and your brand or do you want to preserve your earnings guidance and share price choose one he says you can't have both. if you're going to do business in china i have to concur with that as somebody who is a regular visitor to china it is very clear that there are certain norms of behavior that you have to comply with. but those norms of behavior very firmly embedded within our in a very strongly political context and it's very clear in in china if you want to operate in china as a business as an organization if you want to succeed if you want to build

a fun base if you want to secure financial return make a profit then there are the rules of the game and you have to comply with those rules and if you don't what you will do what you'll find is you slip into the situation that the n.b.a. now finds itself in and so i do agree with the courts i think it's very very difficult to find a middle way there is only one way in china and you either accept it or you don't but clearly back to the n.b.a. sports has always been thrust into geo political tensions and in formula one in bahrain. and the joshua about to fight in saudi arabia why are our sports men and women managers expected to keep storm one we hear from diplomats who many business leaders who manage to get away with with with with you know seeing things that aren't palatable to the countries in which the boonies. well the 1st thing i think i would say is is we're not in in new territory

for those of us who are old enough to remember the cold war. and some of us will remember further by the night if you go back to for instance the 936 olympics when at all hitler was in power in germany sport and politics despite their often an easy relationship of have always had to co-exist to a greater or lesser extent so we're seeing this playing out again in china with the n.b.a. so i think that that's an important contextual detail to to to to to to mention but i think for individual athletes obviously these people are incredibly high profile and there are people who are constantly in the public spotlights they are not only representatives of themselves of their own brands they are also representatives of their sports but i think to a certain extent to the these these athletes and teams are also representatives of the team of the countries from which they're there from where they where they're located and historically i think there's been this view that football just plays

football in a box that just boxes but increasing or we know all this is what they say how they behave it is scrutinized to such a large extent that you are no longer just a racing driver you know you're no longer just a football effect of your you are as if you're communicating at a message a set of values a strategic position and so increasingly what we're now finding is that there is training for this training for people working for teams because there woods potentially could be so highly charged these can cause the kinds of problems that we see with the n.b.a. and again this is why i find what has happened with the n.b.a. over the last 1010 days actually really surprising because historically and typically the n.b.a. is always very measured and very careful in the way that it communicates with the world some is for the really good stewards you're encouraging because professor many thanks indeed. thank you. now here's something that hasn't

been widely reported but it has consequences for all of us the cost of shipping crude around the world has shot up to 11 year highs after the united states blacklisted chinese ships more than 40 v.l. cc's or very large crude carriers operated by china's cosco shipping energy transportation have been blacklisted for moving sanctioned iranian oil cosco has a total of $1100.00 ships iran's oil tankers estimated to be around 54 of also been sanctioned in total nearly $300.00 tankers have been black with listed including venezuela's that represents about 3 percent of the world's oil tanker fleet according to refer it if i call him that said the cost of hiring a ship from $18000.00 to almost $300000.00 a day to ship crude from the u.s. gulf to asia the longest routes to ship oil now costs around $14000000.00

for add to that sanctions countries are still managing to get crude to customers by offloading at sea and switching off tracking devices who better to pick all this up with than rajat kapoor managing director of oil and gas at a.w.i. lloyd thanks for being with us roger so what needs to happen to bring tanker prices down should we be concerned here who's shouldering the cost. obviously a big effect on the tanker prices and the way it is and where they are today has got to do with the gun sanctions that the u.s. administration has put on iranian crude in order to prevent offloading often included in the high seas in order to stop at least do it to the bare minimum export of group to china the u.s. as you know last month inboard to sanctions on the tanker subsidiaries of costco which is a china shipping line and in the largest shipping line in the world so. once you have the sanctions coming in from the u.s. on these entities on these particular tankers they suddenly become part kicks

nobody wants to touch these tankers and this these williams are then taken out the international trade and that's that's that's a substantial piece of hardware that goes out and obviously supply to. the place a shoot up we've also got to laze that it's not just the iranian china connection there are there are other aspects to the increase in tanker trade as well as you know the venezuelan sanctions are also in place similar to indian crew doing venezuelan goold are all sort of under the lens but that puts away another piece of get out of circulation and as you know that i am or 2020 others had to kick in in the next 3 months which basically means that the ships need to adhere to or rather stricter level of pollution control so a good number of ships have actually in the docks and they're going in blob grid scrubbers and things like that so all these things things put together is what is currently impacting the rise in the tank afflicts is that cost of that increase in

cost being passed on to the likes of you and i obviously the crude transporter or are those that are finer that is taking the crude once he's got to pay an additional cost to ship his crude he's going to mark his products the final end product that comes out of the refinery the gasoline the petrol the l.p.g. at a higher cost which you and i have to be unfortunately iran has always said that it has the means to get oil on the market in spite of the sanctions there is a lot of sanctions busting going on here how is that happening. you're going to realize i mean even if you look back 304050 years in in history the informal trade. the informal crude sales whether it was a barter system or totally off market sale of crude has always existed in iran from the times of the shah in the seventy's when iran was producing at its peak about

6000000 barrels of crude there were always barrels that were available off the coast of iran north of the coastline of the arabian gulf states where crew was sold informally of course that was and that has continued to list a i mean if you were to stand on any any one of the gulf states along the coastline and with a high powered by knockers you you could even today see these small barges having 203040000 barrels of crude which was obviously iranian in origin and it was being sold at high seas so iran has always found a way to get its crude to sell its crude our way from the eyes of the formal market as it were of course this this crude was either pull forward was either. siphoned off given the seepage is in the iran supply chain but now what we're seeing is a surface if not sponsored state sanctioned sale of iranian crude.

away from the prying eyes of the west so help me understand this happening by means of high seas. things like that help me understand this then then the sanctions are concerned iran is still able to trade with any anyone it wants in terms of oil it's just that the payment can't be in dollars is that how the sanctions work so it's ok for them to to come offshore and offload from one tanker to another as long as the payment is due in dollars the most kind of strange and aspect of the sanctions that gave in early early last year was section 1245 of the m d 8 the national defense authorization act which actually imposes penalties on financial institutions which are in any way connected with it in united include that includes banks financial institutions lenders and government treasuries as well so whilst iran has the crew and whilst there is

a huge appetite at least amongst consumers to take that group very few people are reluctant to get that crude into their refined into their inventor is undefined reason because it's difficult to pay for it how do people get on for the longest time never accepted dollars that they had benchmark in yours of for the longest time any even when the sanctions were not there and i.o.c. and i.d.c. always dealt in your daughters today even that is difficult iran is today selling it's good it's down from 3 and a half 1000000 barrels for millions battles a day it was about 3000000 barrels a day earlier this year even today by most estimates they are still selling pour 100000 odd barrels of crude every day are a lot of that is is money that is it augured away from international banking tons. some amount of it is done in barter system. white boards i pads.

i phones washing machine the likes and it is a good amount of good that it's got only being stored on credit by the iranian government in the hope that when the sanctions go they'll be able to and gosh that iou fascinating project many thanks david being with us regards to your own counting the cost thank you agent good to be here now for years the u.s. has complained that the e.u. has illegally subsidized airbus putting the american plane manufacturer boeing at a financial disadvantage now the world trade organization agrees and it says the u.s. can impose $7500000000.00 in tariffs on a wide range of european products in response those tariffs which have just kicked in at a drop in all of oil prices are putting spain's all of industry under enormous pressure now to 0 as charlie angela looks at the repercussions of those tariffs on the families that the penned on olive oil exports for their livelihood. harvest time in

spain should be a time for celebration on of this year it's a time of anxiety as they shake down the trees the u.s. is imposing a new 25 percent import tax on that olive oil tax that could decimate this 5th generation family business unable to compete with cheap imports. good enough. the vessels that are carrying spanish olive oil to the states haven't even reached their destination so what's going to happen they were sold before these tariffs were a threat so pushing a 25 percent margin on top of this will kill our competitiveness. spain is the world's largest producer of all of oil exports to the us a worth $440000000.00 but those working in the fields have not had it easy lately last year's record harvest caused all of oils purchase price to plummet by 34 percent and more and more countries are planting their own articles joining the market piling the tariffs on top of this could lead to collapse i.

am last week thousands of out of workers took to the streets of madrid demanding the e.u. push back on the new tariffs and prop up the industry and say they don't understand why nick grimm and the politicians had with us should penalize their products. we think it's very unfair because the agricultural sector acts like a monetary exchange for other industries that have nothing to do with the sector in this case is the aeronautical industry which has nothing to do with us what other producers are already feeling the squeeze around $845000000.00 worth of spain's agricultural exports will face us tariffs the e.u. warns it will retaliate with its own import taxes if they win that parallel case against the u.s. next year it will have the makings of a texas trade war. fish farmers in northern malaysia calling on the government to tackle the issue of marine pollution they say the poor quality of seawater of

course the huge financial losses al-jazeera sora slowly reports the state of. there have been fish farms here at the mouth of the korean river in penang northern malaysia for more than 40 years but owners say the quality of the seawater is degrading and they believe that is causing their fish to die and they blame a nearby landfill for polluting the water. we depend on the sea for living if all fish can survive we are going to have to shut a farm if there is no fish in the waters will be out of job its role on the northern shores of penang island. is his caged fish have been dying as well he too blames the water quality the state government says the polluting of sea water may be caused by run offs from an illegal quarry operated by marine

researches say the increase in jellyfish off the coast of penang is an indicator that the sea water is becoming more polluted but say their studies suggest that that's not enough to cause fish to die as the same basic know is difficult for us to actually pinpoint on one factor the ocean is a very dynamic environment. is the ball and. affects as well as. the climate change that causes course the pollution. it's not just those in the fishing and aquaculture industries who are affected. waterfall operators as well as hoteliers tell us that on some days the pollution from this river is so bad that a foul smell hangs in the air and the water turns into a dark almost black color on those days they tell customers to avoid swimming in the sea. the local government says residents have to do their part and if so cross

illegally sosh into the really system the people of this not good or for duration there's a point to the 3 system and to call the whole system that the people here tell us they don't think enough is being done to ensure this proper and vironment are monitoring nor tackle coastal pollution in bangladesh steel prices are soaring and it's mainly because of the trade war between the us and china it's having a knock on effect on the rest of the economy with house prices skyrocketing and construction taking a his town there choudhry has more now from the time of tony. small home builders are the hardest hit the shop owner lives with his extended family next door to where his future home should be taking shape been done wrong. building a roof needs a lot of rods if the prices were like before it would be done by now but with steel prices shooting up work on building our home

a lifelong dream has stalled now we wait for the prices to go down. bangladesh relies on importing scrap metal from the us to make steel rod which are the backbone of the new buildings but that become more expensive to build because they import costs have risen. president trans trade war with china is impacting bangladesh a still industry which imports a significant amount of scrap iron from the united states protectionist measures taken by the us administration is reducing supply and increasing prices and so the cost of constructions have gone up in bangladesh the capital dhaka is the heart of the still drug market still traders say business is bad and on accomplished i'm a little bit. yes there's an impact with sol's almost coming to a halt people who are planning to build a home a very cautious now as i have to borrow money while the market is volatile. some

now is the time mr speaker to get this thing done strong words from the u.k. prime minister of parliament gets ready to vote on these drugs that plan. protesters back on the streets in the lebanese capital after a night of violence demanding political change. and violent clashes on the streets of basra loner in a 5th day of rallies against the jailing of catalan leaders. and sport holders new zealand go up against ireland and the rugby world england await the winners in the semifinals after a convincing victory over often really. britain's prime minister barak's johnson is urged politicians in an extraordinary session of parliament to support his new brigs the deal he's described the agreement with the european union as one that can heal the rift in british politics and there is no

argument for more delays he said getting the deal over the line will be difficult opposition leader jeremy coleman says it's even worse than the 3 previous deals that were voted on outside the walls of westminster thousands of people are also expected to march through london to demand a new referendum. so those who agree like me the bricks it must be delivered and who like me prefer to avoid a new deal outcome must abandon the delusion that this house can delay again and i must tell the house in all candor that there is a very different appetite or friends in the e.u. for this business to be protected by one extra day. he has renegotiated the withdrawal agreement and made it even worse. he's renegotiated the political decoration and made that even worse we're having

a debate today on a text to which there is no economic impact assessment and no accompanying legal advice this government has sought to avoid scrutiny throughout the process and yesterday evening made empty promises on workers' rights and the environment on the barker is standing by for us in belfast with the latest reaction out of northern ireland but 1st let's go to paul brennan in westminster paul still too close to call at this point. at this point yes and it's not even clear whether the motion itself will go to a full votes later on the softer noone will come to that in a 2nd typically plug neisha 6 changes in his 1st hour and a half of the parliamentary session you could see from the pictures there standing room only in the house absolutely packed with m.p.'s this really is an extraordinary day the 1st time in 37 years the parliament has sat on a saturday the prime minister giving

a typically bullish performance they're insisting that his deal is good for the country but the leader of the opposition jeremy corbin giving a scathing retorts as you heard saying that it would lead to it would basically fire the starting gun on a race to the bottom now on the face of it it's a fairly straightforward issue there are 2 main motions that the house will consider 1st to vote in favor of boris johnson's deal and if that fails there is a there will be a vote in favor of leaving the european union without a deal but there are other complications as well there are amendments that have been submitted and accepted by the speaker for consideration by m.p.'s and one of them is from an m.p. called so all of the left when who is seeking essentially to get a guarantee that there can be no there can be no no deal breck's it he's proposing to do that by perspiring demanding that the deal is not passed until legislation implementing the deal is passed through the house it's

a bit complicated and that's why joining me is jack simpson care he's a senior research fellow with the bingham rule of law he's been on al-jazeera many times in the past several months and is a real expert in parliamentary procedure. talk to me 1st jack about the left when amendment and its significance ok the lemon amendment is very significant because it's showing that boris even though he's achieved this major political one mark in the process is colliding again with parliamentary leader reality and this let when amendment is designed as you've just explained to secure ensure that the prime minister by 12 o'clock tonight which is the debt. klein has to write a letter to the e.u. to secure an extension because all of the let went and many other people who are in favor of a deal of worried that if they vote for the deal today then they'll be a ticking clock until the 31st of all tell you about where the could be and no deal and they think that's not a good way then to pass this this crucial constitutional legislation to implement the deal so essentially they want an insurance policy of an extension to be secured

by midnight tonight so that then they can go on to scrutinizing the deal in detail next week it is an indication is noted just how little trust there is of the prime minister by opposition m.p.'s and frankly within certain m.p.'s who were former conservatives before they lost the whip but the conservative zionists number 10 has come out this morning and threatened we don't know whether they're willing to carry out the threat to actually pull the conservatives and m.p.'s out of the chamber and thereby scupper votes talk to me about that prospect well i suppose they're warry if they don't get this clean vote on the deal the meaningful vote so that there's a real indication of the numbers then it's not really serving the purpose that they wanted to i think that would be a shame because what all of the let one has said is that even if they vote to pass their amendment the and that the motion as it will stand will still be possible to show political support for the deal so there will still be something that you could vote for to show that you had the numbers and that would be a major breakthrough in the process because it would indicate that next week when

you had the legally binding votes on the withdrawal agreement bill you could show that you have the numbers to get those through and that would be a complete game changer in terms of the process so be a shame if we didn't have that vote on the motion as amended but you know that's politics for you unfortunately and the numbers talk to me about the numbers how tight it is whether this deal will pass i think it's very difficult to say the key thing has been the labor and he's i think the labor m.p.'s and for a d. on what's funny is that boris johnson had up his sleeve these amendments that terry's and they negotiated with the labor to secure environmental rights and were . because rights and the like and he he is unsurprisingly now offering those to labor m.p.'s but there's some degree of suspicion as you just said because once we get into the sort of parliamentary hand to hand combat next week of various amendments on this stuff who knows how it will go who knows whether or not the changes position who knows whether or not the labor m.p.'s will actually say what should we don't trust what boris is saying in terms of environmental protection

what if he gets a majority in a general election and comes back and says actually we're going to repeal those amendments that you pass so it's a really difficult position to know what's going to happen with the numbers jack thank you jackson's you can will be staying with us throughout the morning digest and decipher the proceedings inside the house behind me as you can hear it is fiendishly complicated but really really important and we may have one of 3 outcomes either a deal in favor of a no deal or a further extension demanded by parliament. well we want to sing that very carefully and come back to you later that's thank paul now let's continue this with neve baka though because he's joining us from belfast of course that's in northern ireland the neve we know the democratic unionist party they've already opposed the deal how much support does that leave in northern ireland for this. world the level of support the days of support very much depends on which community you come from which political block you back clearly she mentioned there the

unionists are not happy at all do you piece 10 m.p.'s say that they will not buy voice johnson's plan the bashfulness on the other end of the political spectrum shim frayne whoever reluctantly supporting it largely because they see it is the the lesser of 2 evils and that it means that they will not be returned to a border there's you know just republicans that threaten to attack but as you know also clearly shim fein because they object to the suffering to the british parliament do not sit in the british parliament so that their 7 m.p.'s will not be on standby to potentially back boris johnson's a deal going back to the unionists here unionists on all levels of the political spectrum of very much against this plan has been described as betrayal by loyalists on the heart of random boy by moderates on the other end and we've even heard whispers of planned of possible demonstrations in the coming days one spokesman form a loyalist

a group of senior loyalists that even threaten the possibility of civil disobedience so who knows we could see some turbulence in coming days in response to voice johnston's deal just to highlight once at stake here if this deal does pass how does it leave northern line and shall we say slightly different from the rest of the u.k. . yes and that's probably one of being one of the main key objections from the democratic unionist party. let's give you an example for instance that 2nd always manufactured in the north of england and that car is destined for export via the irish sea to northern ireland well because northern ireland to the rest of the u.k. a part of the same customs area no tariffs are going to be subject if not because it could be proven is actually destined for the european union the republic of ireland next door well it will be subject to the e.u. tariffs and that's led to this talk of there being a border down the middle of the irish sea because that's the only way of avoiding goods manufactured in the u.k.

from slipping in the back door into the european union is likely how it's going to work in practice is unclear whether or not manufacturers will just be able to declare these items at the border or whether they'll actually be checks of lorries of course going the other way so e.u. goods manufactured in the republic of ireland or elsewhere in the e.u. going via northern ireland to mainland britain will also be subject to british tariffs as well it leaves northern ireland in a very unique position and the goods can freely go back and forth between northern ireland and the republic of iran it's the only part of the u.k. with that special status what exists and that special status has been seen as haven't yunis perspective as a slow annexation by the republic of ireland but others see it as potentially being a positive step for northern ireland and there's been a lot of talk over the last couple of years about northern ireland becoming the singapore of the north of the other end of the scale they have been those look worried about the return of a hard border the possibility of violence to call this an emotional rollercoaster

would be an understatement right in the fog of that from belfast. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including in the streets battles across. how the anger is rising against the jailing of catalan leaders plus. i was on a big job in the neighborhood watchman i'll tell you how this record. only rescue service for about $100.00 in a meeting. and installed the new york yankees breathe a sigh of relief a major league playoffs later and. now protesters have begun gathering on the streets of lebanon's capital beirut as the call for political change grows on friday tens of thousands rallied pushing for what they're calling a revolution prime minister saddle how do you.
