the answer is there and he's been a hero for the pol pot bolivia's longest serving president is facing his toughest reelection fight yet. how i think the season feels like he started to change the satellite point of view there's more clout in iran iraq syria and a close turkey the want to talk stuff chest in the northwest of iraq or in northern syria and that produces a shower or 2 no it's not cold yet 28 in the lefferts when it in beirut 35 in baghdad just as hot as it was particularly in iraq which is where the daily heat doesn't get talked of quite as much now the gray clouds suggest a few showers but nothing too severe turkey's more light to get them and again it comes on to the coast of syria otherwise it's still sunny for the most part that's

true in the gulf as well the whole of the arabian peninsula is looking draw and we have seen a few showers drifting around the gulf is nothing in the forecast the temp is now in the low to mid thirty's typically says warm inside out his cooler in their argument isn't changed very much showers don't seem very likely maybe prompted in the far west of yemen active weather now i was going south in africa as you might expect it to has been raining in angola for with thunderstorms and of course that's true now again through namibia and particularly south africa the full cost so at the moment it's dry the 21 in cape town.

welcome back you're watching us here on my name's peter davi let's just recap your top stories for you so far british m.p.'s have told the prime minister boris johnson to delay breaks it again m.p.'s held their 1st emergency saturday session in 37 years voting to approve an amendment to the government deal with the european union. the house tens of thousands of protesters swarmed the streets around the

parliament building there pushing for britain to hold a 2nd referendum many feeling the voters weren't properly informed the 1st time around in 2060. live to beirut because it's day 3 of protests in the lebanese capital people that among the demonstrators according to a revolution the prime minister. has accused rival groups and the government of blocking his reforms has given themselves 2 hours to find a solution. crowds are beginning to return to the streets of barcelona despite catalans pro independence leaders call for talks with the spanish government right police clashed with demonstrators on saturday afternoon at least 60 people were injured in the riots more than half a 1000000 people marched through the city over the jailing of 9 separatist leaders for their role in catalonia as failed independence 2 years ago the pro independence quintos call follows a day of violent protests as we've been hearing on friday to charlie angela joining

us from barcelona charlie is there a sense there that this call for talks discussions are got to happen but not yet. absolutely i'll just tell you a little bit what's happening here. we've just followed about $10000.00 relatively peaceful demonstrators in the central square in barcelona and you can see them now behind me right now gathered outside the supreme court and most of them seem to be on their way to catch the land for them and know that god is the still saying the fight continues and that relates to the sentences that are handed down to the castle and her independence leaders but the cool head now is very different the people i've spoken to say they've come out today not just independence to protest against police brutality and those. and those scenes last night 152 protesters were injured 19 of them still in hospital one in a critical condition and on the police side 101 police received minor injuries from those bottles and stones that were thrown at them in those pitched battles on the

street like spokes into the tires koppel's and professionals a very different type of protest of to what we saw late last night and they say they've come out because they are worried that this country could be sliding into the police presence and that is the message tonight but yes on the political side because learning in president kim torah has called for his talks with the central government saying that dialogue is needed to end this crisis but he has been rebuffed spain's acting president had a scientist refused to take a phone call from to us saying he asked us condemn this violence condemn the violence that was carried out against the police last night before the people here who have as i say been protesting very peacefully up until now that's not going to be enough they are looking for compromise and they want to see that dialogue is coming john thank you. to chile where a state of emergency has been in force in the capital santiago after days of

protests against the rising cost of buying a train ticket the rapid transit metro system is closed for the weekend off the rioters attacked stations the student loan process which began on monday have since grown into a wider outcry over the cost of living let's talk now to boris van de speck he's the founder of chile today that's an independent news website he joins us from santiago boris fun to spec did the president really have any choice here but to impose the state of emergency. well not really i think for the last 20 years chile has not seen this amount of violence in the protests. and normally the police and in chile they respond pretty aggressive and yesterday the process was so violent that even the police forces had to retreat from the center of something it was pure anarchy was chaos and those scenes the president had no other choice than the clearing a state of emergency and even deploying armed troops to the center of the capital is it an easy proposition is it or is it

a big ask to get the president and the government to come up with some sort of fiscal conjuring trick that will defused tensions well it's pretty difficult because of course and start of the protest against increased metro fares but at the moment we are seeing at the protests are increasing and also spreading out throughout the country in cities all over the chiller there is moment protesting demonstrating so it has nothing to do anymore with metro fares and also yesterday in a speech on national television the president said he would talk with the people who are directly affected by the increase of the metro fares but those those things no one solve a lot i think because at this moment it's about something way bigger and that is the expensive cost of living the education the pensions everything is very expensive and also unequal here in chile so to do something about this anger.

currently is around in this society is that's a pretty big task for the government i think but when you talk about as well that lack of equality that's one of the big issues i mean any any president or prime minister say who's going to solve this problem has to come come up with root and branch reform surely because in chile the rich are very very rich and the poor are very very poor. that's right well i think of course they will have to come up with something that you see that at this moment the authorities both of us as a nation nationwide are baffled by these by these protests no one saw this coming but 1st of all these protests on monday tuesday in a metro s. some some other student protests their love brought us here and. it in me it erupted that literally if the the level of violence we've seen yesterday was of another level so i really think the authorities at this moment have no idea what to do except for declaring a state of emergency and waiting how this ends because if the other cities as well

starting to protest we don't know where then we are definitely going to face another day and night of violence but this could go on for weeks and of course with the summits coming up from the apec and the c o p 25 this could put the pin year a government in pretty bad day life. thank you very much thank you for coming. libya's longest serving president is facing a fight for reelection on sunday became bolivia's 1st indigenous leader 14 years ago his socialist policies are credited with reducing poverty and boosting the economy but his popularity has suffered from allegations of corruption and having too much power john holeman reports now from. in rural mountain communities in bolivia there remains only one man for the top job going into sunday's elections ever more is already the country's longest standing president and still its most popular politician thanks to

which towers above the former presidential palace this pink building in front of it many people saw that as a sign of the government's increasing opulence in what is one of the poorest countries in south america. despite the missteps many believe ians like you know since you still see morale is the safe way forward. i think if the president stays in power then these programs will continue before we didn't have them and we don't know the proposals on the other candidates we've lived with this president and we know that he gives help 6. that may be enough to see him over the finish line john homan how does it look as. russia has carried out 15 airstrikes in the last rebel held province of idlib killing 2 people and injuring many more the airstrikes hit the rebel held it's tough tonight as airport and a refugee camp nearby meanwhile the turkish president mr erdogan says he will discuss turkey's offensive in northern syria with his russian counterpart vladimir

are even more spectacular the famous landmark has just opened its newly renovated observation deck gabriel elizondo went up for a look. it's one of the most famous buildings in the world instantly recognizable from the outside but 88 years after it 1st opened in pires state building is getting a new look and it starts way up at the top so show me where the 100 and 2nd floors are so we're going to go all the way to the top just 102nd for the summit and the pinnacle of. the ride up the elevator to the newly reopened empire state building observatory. and this is the view when you reach the top. it was closed for nearly 10 months during construction but not anymore after opening last week when it was coming to the worst most famous building and it is

the pinnacle of the if i study and i don't have 874360 degrees i want to talk to you wish but it should be going to the old observatory was much different there used to be air conditioner units that would come up to about here and block much of the view how they've changed everything and they've installed these floor to ceiling glass panels that are about $200.00 kilos each and there's $24.00 of them that give you this panoramic view new york city. while the empire state building receives 4000000 visitors a year for more than 100 different countries it's increasingly facing competition for tourists like from the newly opened vessel structure at hudson yards on the west side of the city and the observatory that opened in 2015 at the top of the one world trade center. and that's why the empire state building is in the final phase of a 4 year 165000000 dollars renovation it includes new exhibits and displays highlighting

in about 30 minutes with the news hour between now and then inside story aussies. chance for remaining after decades of separation caused by a war. one i want to east joins a mother's journey to bring unite with the son she lost more than 60 years ago in the korean war on al jazeera. is there a solution to lebanon's crisis protesters are demanding an overhaul of the political system the prime minister blames rival groups in his government for blocking reforms and has given them 72 hours to find a way out all their hopes for meaningful political and economic change this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm the star. outraged defiant and united behind a demand for political change lebanese people from all religious and political backgrounds according to the prime minister and president and of the leaders to resign they say they want to revolution many criticizing their own political leaders something unprecedented in a country divided by thick tarion as in 2 days and nights of the largest protests in years was sparked by tax reforms including charging to use phone calls on the social media said this whatsapp that plan was quickly scrapped but there are other longstanding grievances they include high unemployment constant electricity shortages poor infrastructure and corruption the protests are a challenge to the unity government and prime minister saad hariri he's blaming parties in his coalition obstructing reforms required to unlock $11000000000.00 in aid pledged by international donors the drug lord mayor lou 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. correspondent anahata has more from beirut. day 3 of the protests people still defiant despite a government crackdown security forces and the army on late friday used heavy handed tactics to disperse the crowd and forcibly open highways which were blocked by burning tires people here continue to demand the resignation of the government they chant told us our revolution revolution but it's easier said than done because the response from the ruling alliance has been we are clinging on to power the hezbollah led the hezbollah movement which really leads the ruling alliance the message from the secretary general was very clear you cannot topple the ruling alliance people here were very angry they consider this as a challenge as a veiled threat saying that if we decide to protest the balance of power will

change so basically dismissing the 10s of thousands of people who have been out on the streets demanding for better economic conditions as well as the solution is that the government officials will find another way apart from taxing the poor to raise much needed government revenues but people here want a change in the system but in the words of praise on the struggle even if there is a new government it will be the same political forces that will make up this government that to a certain extent there is a reality to that because the political elites they've been ruling this country for decades there's really no alternative the civil society has tried to make some sort of a comeback but they haven't been able to do that so it seems officials are working behind the scenes to find some sort of a compromise people here will not be appeased by that definitely but then we could probably expect a security forces to even use even more heavy handed tactics in order to calm the street so really difficult times and it's unclear what is going to follow but what

is clear the balance of power is in the hands of the they really afford to. send a for their friends. story. well let's take a look at some of the problems that been on has the world's 3rd highest debt level and more than a 3rd of under 30 five's are unemployed the government is accused of failing to provide basic services with domestic waste piling up in the streets and generators needed to overcome electricity blackouts lebanese were further infuriated when the government needed foreign help to battle the west wildfires in decades because fire fighting helicopters were grounded long running political instability has shaken investor confidence and made it harder to revive the economy that's led to shortages of dollars and threatened pensions another drain on the economy is looking off to one and a half 1000000 syrian war refugees. well let's have a listen to what some of the protesters in the streets have been saying. there is no future for jobs and this is not acceptable anymore we have stood up for

a long time and now it's time to talk and this is the fault of those with the these people did not take to the streets to cause riots and chaos but to express their pain and suffering caused by this political situation that. the regime must be toppled from the top of the pyramid it's not useful if just one goes away we're hungry and tired we have no social security we don't have anything i don't believe that this city to the because i'm 60 years old every day i go to beirut just so i can feed my family these politicians pass in front of me and no one looks at me we want to overthrow the government the regime and the parliament. well let's introduce our panel of guests who are all in lebanon's capital beirut so by skype we have my yahia who is the director of the carnegie middle east santa ana corey a political activist and also by skype sami nada and economist and also director of

the 11th institute for strategic affairs welcome to you all well run out starting with you these problems have been going on for some time now what's been the tipping point what sports you all out onto the streets i think 1st hello and thank you for having me i think there is. a lot of bad performance a lot of belittling of the people's minds throughout the years and i think the people who are ready to say we had enough they were ready because they clearly had enough more poverty less freedoms more oppression it was too much now a lot of people are linking it to the decision of or the discussion within the government of the what's up tax i think this is just another tax that the people said we've had enough of we're not going to pay the price we're not responsible of the bad management of this economy it's been going on for years we gave this mandate 3 years as a chance it's just collapse even more and that's it so it was i don't think that

was the main reason i think the whole performance of the government and then there was a lot of. bad decisions one after the other a lot of bad. behavior with the people a lot of activists were put it throughout the year 2001960 activists and journalists were asked to come to secure to security forces interest just because of a facebook status more taxes no employment very bad behavior towards the people i think all of this have or had to come out 20 well you mentioned bad economic management there and i was taking a look at the numbers and they're pretty extraordinary lebanon's public debt is now equal to more than 153 percent of g.d.p. the 3rd highest level in the world so dollar reserves depleted the country is now staring down the barrel of a possible devaluation of the lira sammy how did we get here we did it to you because for the 8 year in

a row it started in 2011 there's. a very delicate situation and banjo situation that when deficit i mean on one side you have the budget deficit which shared each. worrying levels the budget of the financial statement you have more. dollars all for a garden city getting out of accounts the than getting invest that to the situation where where we are today and last straw have a good horse which is barry did not increase one percent so we are that big the until the 8th year in a row and they have a deep recession and this is to no stated by how another. unemployment this what takes the people to the street today but the absence of the film was the one major

reason why this bunch of budget deficit kept a growing and widening deficit of balance of payment now it's very important and this is one major industry. they want that change also very easy and when they say they want the change in don't they need a change of step cotton upgrade an operating system which is 60000000 base what we called and that a big news on one house are whereby the political forces in in the 6 get him to who they are because and think. emptying that treasure what resources of county and. district their unit is you is the other thing of production well i do want to ask a little more about the economic crisis and then we're going to move on to some of the other political issues because i i understand that harry has been doing the rounds and paris added abby trying to often money to solve some of these problems

and by western governments and gulf countries seem to be not terribly wanting to bail out again so is this a case of government saying to beirut enough is enough. very much so i think it's saying to the current ruling elite these are you get your act together particularly i think the position of european governments there was a you know. mecan isn't that what established a couple of years ago to and around 11000000 were pledged to lebanon through sad some of them were grand some of them were soft clones long term soft loans with favorable interest rates none of this funding has been released because it's contingent on reform until now that the form has not been forthcoming so what the message that they wrote is getting is enough is enough you need to get

your act together you need to undertake painful but necessary forms. in order to for the something to be released and in order for us to continue supporting the country now for the international community to their core they're sort of also caught between a rock and a hard place because they would obviously much rather not have another failed state on their hands in this region but at the same time there's been so much support coming to lebanon although the past few decades. and much of this continues to be mismanaged both economically and politically well there's no yes right and i think unless unless these reforms are undertaken we're not going to see any funding coming this where there has been it really is conventional rattling on these issues for some time now though but now we're hearing the word unprecedented in relation to these protests so stay with you talk me through what's different this time

around because i know we've seen kids coming out with with families in the streets we've had people calling out their own sectarian leaders by name so talk us through what's different that we're seeing now. i think what's very different are a couple of things one is the spread and the location of these protests they're happening across national territory and not just in the main cities there where they were very spontaneous so it's not a political party that's been calling for people to take this to the streets and perhaps most importantly is we're seeing criticism of the political leadership coming from the community that they're supposed to. be in control os so we're seeing protests against the will of those hezbollah and the from within the shia community the same within the christian community within the sunni community. what people going to the streets have been saying this is not

about religion it's not about sex actually you want to bring down this sectarian regime that this of the sectarian political regime we're fed up and the way sectarianism has been used by the political elite to siphon off funds from the state in a sense what sammy described as he's on the house or saif you get to peace and i get a decent return so i think these are the things that are very much i'm president of and that sense they're also let's not forget they're an accumulation i mean this is coming at a certain ticking point for the country we've been there's been a lot of the session of a potential economic collapse and the country people are scared they're worried that if the euro collapses then this means their savings will be wiped out the future of they won't get able to provide for their children their for the church of their own children will be in jeopardy not to mention that their own. already

precarious standards of living will plummet down once more figure that was least a few weeks ago that the public school system has seen an 18th. cent increase in woman by lebanese kids this is an indication because historically lebanese families that provide have preferred a private school system this is one small indication that they can no longer afford to send their children to private schools and it tells you it's also an indication of how their spreadsheets and power and their spending power is deteriorating basically well there are clearly a lot of issues and ron i'm going to come to you now because these protests that are dealing with some of these issues while all of these issues are leaderless it's a social movement by my understanding so far so how unified are the protesters and how concrete are the demands of all these protesters and i understand that this is

about calling for an end to the entire political system but but is there a suggestion about what an alternative would be. so i think what what unites the protestors and this is very important is the general of the suffering of all of lebanon and this is very important what we are seeing is there was a gravitation of the different sectarian political leaders the people have been very clement to try this new deal that brought president on to the presidency between hezbollah between heavy between our own and other parties as well it's not working the gap is getting bigger and bigger they're only getting richer they're only getting more oppressive towards the people and the people are getting poorer they are getting more oppressed and this is not working there is a solution of course there is an economic solution i'm sure a seminar that has a lot to see in this but 1st thing we are saying we are not paying as people for the taxes that the rich can't the people with profits can't be banks can't be.

economic can't pay so we will not pay for this bad management and now we are seeing there is in need for the government of all this this mehndi the government because this government represents the whole political class from the president to hezbollah to haiti and the rest we want them to resign we want a government that cares about the people to come and find a solution to this horrendous crisis we are in and then we take it further from there we're not saying this is very easy but we are saying this is possible and it's possible there are a lot of good people in this country that care about this country that can take it a step because where we are now is the rock bottom right mark coming to you but i believe we have just lost sami nada so we are going to continue this discussion with just you and rana picking up there on what ron a was saying is this about changing the people in government or changing the whole political system itself because there aren't that many alternatives on the table by my understanding i think changing the people in government will do

a lot. it's the same political elite that's been running the government the country for the last since the end of the su. war in 199-989-1900 it's pretty much the same political elite so removing them and bringing some other people who are affiliated with will not do much in all honesty. the call to have a took technocratic government i.e. a government made of experts also will not do much because unless we have a very solid political backing for them in a way that will allow them to undertake the kind of reforms to the painful reforms that are needed structural reforms to the way the country is governed both politically and economically then that'll work pretty much either so the alternatives really is to change the system but i don't think i mean to my mind i think it's very difficult to change the system under the current circumstances so

what i would see is some sort of incremental steps towards that goal and this is something i think that needs to be discussed thoughts flew a lot more clearly in terms of what the steps would look like how one how would one go about all the warning system that is at heart. a climb to listed with a clear identity in other words the sectarian power sharing is deeply ingrained in the within within the climb to the networks of the country and that have been does are responsible for siphoning the country's financial resources so i think that there is a fundamental challenge there and the impasse we find ourselves and today is not one that is easily so mountable the question to my mind is what will the next steps

be on the part of the government hasn't israel has made his 1st comment since these protests began. let's take a lesson when actually they are well not it's wrong to see that the government has no other choice than imposing taxes if we call paree give priority to the economic state we'll be able to see 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 so he's clearly saying no resignations there but he's also been calling for a plan and which the rich poor leaders and banks would sacrifice to end the crisis what does he mean by that and is that likely 1st what does it mean it will take 2 years to form a new government whose it if they have good faith and they are saying we can't go have a date all of them said it there are veto powers inside the government we are not being able to serve the people the way we should so who is this it who will make

what will take one or 2 years to form a government that cares about the people what we are saying is you have to resign now the mend it needs to end right now it's an era that didn't work we want a new government new people in power that will make us get out of this crisis and yes there is an economic way of getting back money of taking money that is not from the people we talked about progressive taxes we spoke about taxes on profits of the banks we spoke about the rent he's economy and how there are a lot of apartments that are empty in this in this city alone in beirut i'm sure in the rest of lebanon as well there are properties on the seashore that are illegal that could be taxed as well all of this could happen we can stop putting people in jail for their opinions we can stop now yesterday people were put in jail and now there were people who were arrested right now because they were protesting we can stop doing that in new government if there is

a good faith from the people because the people in power and this is also something we have to understand yes they were elected in the. meant to be elections but this doesn't mean that people are not angry and this doesn't mean that people voted for many reasons and this doesn't mean that today we have the right to say we've had enough and this collaboration of these sectarian leaders is not working it didn't work it created a war it's not working it's created poverty it's a bunch of corrupted mafia leading the country so what hezbollah is saying is a bit weird taking into account that they are part of the same class b. taishan of political leaders of political elite they are ministers they are in the parliament they are in other situations in this government so we can't the when when they talk about not taking responsibility they should be the 1st one as well taking this responsibility and say it's not working we have to get out tomorrow one

of the other things that nasrallah said was that if hezbollah then takes to the streets the supporters of hezbollah that would change the balance of power on the streets and they have already been reports of militia men from other political factions trying to confront or intimidate protesters so how real is the threat of a confrontation on the streets as you see it i think we see confrontations on the streets with or we're only seeing it and some parts of the south of lebanon for example here we've been getting a lot of reports this morning and swore that. some of the gunmen have been taking to the streets and some and intimidating protesters however this is not going i mean that there is a small genie that's been at out of the bag people are not intimidated anymore they're not scared to say we know you've been. you know stealing from us for decades now we may see the same phenomena in other parts of the country where the diehard supporters of the current political elites will stand for their sectarian

representatives however what's wrong i was saying. which is there is a need for new blood new faces ame government this is there are there is a desperate need for a new approach to the political and economic governance of the country we are at an impasse but it doesn't mean that there is no way out if you like in addition to the things that's why i mentioned there are lots of fundamental reforms that can be done within the current budgets that would reduce the budget deficit in a substantial way these things are not being done because the current political leadership is still using state funds the projects that are run by state institutions as well as the institutions as a way to siphon off funding for its own purposes this is coming at a time also when the you know there's

a global financial or the the decline and i'll the economic front region leave the region in considerable charm or in the traditional sources of funding memorandums here i am going to interrupt you there because i know i have one last very quick question and we are running out of time and i do want to ask ron of this if in the next 72 hours or as this deadline passes and if they manage to find some kind of agreement and they unlock this $11000000000.00 of magic money that could solve some problems will the protests stop them run a very briefly yes or no if this happens that they have been fooling us for the past 3 years of this mandate and they have getting people poorer and poorer and oppressing people whereby they can find solutions in 72 hours and if this happens then this is a big lie and then this is what they have been doing for 3 years is actually the most hypocritical government that ever existed we've tried them for 3 years for 30

years as matt said after the civil war our generation is not paying the price for what's being done before we want a change and we will. until now we have nothing more to lose nothing and that's where we'll leave our discussion today will continue watching all of this very closely thanks to all of our guests my yahia runa corey and sammy nada who was with us earlier and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion do go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com ford slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter and our handle is at a.j. inside story for meanest and the whole team here i for. 982 egypt and israel built over that drivel way between the neighboring communities in

the sinai and. al-jazeera will tears constant stories from remember the night the tears in. the sinai. on al-jazeera. in an ordinary week doctor event atar at the heart a surgeon at the only functioning hospital in town in north eastern south sudan and his steam operated on around 60 patients the united nations refugee agency nominated him for the prestigious nansen award which you won in recognition of his work and incredibly difficult to constance's. south sudan has been in conflict since 2013 the war has divided the country along ethnic lines 200000 people most of

outside the parliament demanding a 2nd referendum on any brics it deal. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the al-jazeera news our live from doha also coming up protesters in lebanon are also in force today for a 3rd day to demand political change and come. still the cost of living. in. a state of emergency has been declared in the chilean capital santiago after rioters attacked subway stations because of rising ticket prices. the british prime minister boris johnson has vowed to press ahead to meet the october the 31st bricks deadline despite losing yet another vote in parliament m.p.'s didn't say yes or no to the government's new deal with the european union instead they did vote to approve an amendment that means boris johnson must seek

a further delay from the e.u. he says instead there will be more votes next week we have 2 reporters standing by in 90 barbers in brussels for reaction out of the e.u. and andrew simmons is in westminster will talk to both of them very shortly 1st paul brennan has the latest. the 1st saturday sitting in 37 years and with just 13 days until the bronx it deadline there was the expectation of a day of high drama in britain's parliament it certainly proved that prime minister bonus johnson knew he needed the support of 320 m.p.'s to win parliamentary approval for the brics a deal agreed on thursday with the e.u. and he knew it would be tight there was a feverish atmosphere in the chamber. this agreement provides for a real brits taking back control of our borders laws money farming fisheries and trade this government cannot be trusted and these benches

will not be due. without parliament's approval for his deal johnson would be forced by a law known as the ben act to ask the e.u. for a further delay to bracks it something mr johnson has expressed the opposed to doing so when the government lost a preliminary vote on the left when amendment 53222306 prime minister immediately withdrew the government's main motion and called a halt to proceedings there was uproar i will not negotiate a dilemma with the e.u. . neither does the law compel me to do so i will tell our friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i've told everyone in the last 88 days that i've served as prime minister but further than they would be bad for this country. and for democracy i invite him to think very carefully about the remarks he just

made about refusing apparently to apply for the extension which the e.u. number 2 act requires him to do. this was billed as a day of reckoning but as has happened so often in this torturous an extraordinary press of process. there is drama and there is brinksmanship to the last chorus is not far off getting what he wants and the number of labor members of parliament are under huge pressure in their constituencies to listen to people who voted leave and that's the challenge for the labor party as well as the country johnson says he intends to bring the bracks deal back to parliament for a vote on monday if the speaker allows it day of reckoning mark to paul brennan al-jazeera westminster so andrew simmons live for us outside parliament in theory in 36 hours we could be really running the whole thing again.

well that's right peter it's down to john bercow that key person who is due to resign from his position as speaker of the house on the 31st of october the precise deadline that springs johnson has sets it's in his sights right now he's pushing forward with a strategy that goes like this he's saying he will not negotiate an extension he has however sent a letter in or is sending a letter into the european union as is the case with the ban amendment that has to go through by law he has to request an extension but on the other hand his whole language or his whole dialogue with europe now is that he wants this to go through so he's doing one thing as an act saying the reverse in reality there are legal teams working on this in terms of how far he can go in terms of resisting europe

and getting on with what he wants to do and what he wants to do is this he wants john bercow to actually rule on monday as to whether or not he can have another clean sweep at getting this through then we drunk the government withdrew the motion today. and is good intent on trying again on monday to try to get it through it is very likely it will pass now there was according to the government very fine line to it but they did have the advantage they were on the cusp of winning the whole motion had it not been for the amendment from which so next week they will try again now the danger is that the whole system will go into a process whereby legislation is formed 1st and that leads to all sorts of amendments to it so people are deciding on other things buffering delays

and also the prospect. of a 2nd referendum which is what some of the opposition parties are calling for labor it seems to be in favor of now and furthermore there's another aspect to it because if if he does if johnson does manage to get a clean sweep at having this vote again it hasn't been ruled out apparently then he could get more votes from labor m.p.'s who are now really concerned about their constituencies in terms of being pro bracks it and voting for this deal because it makes sense there is that inertia rightly or wrongly there is an inertia to bring this to a head now labor party would say no this is wrong you've got to think about workers' rights you've got to think about the whole trade deal situation because that goes to deep december 2020 the real big decision of whether they can get a free trade agreement hasn't even been decided upon negotiations have yet to happen on that that goes through to december 2020 and then you might have some of

suggest from certainly the hard line breaks it is saying we could end up having a no deal breaks it that far on because we crash out of that the free trade deal in the run up to december 2020 and go into a cio world trade organization deal canada took 7 years to sort this out can you k. do it in one year there is so much in the thinking going on right now so many headaches for the british public watching it from afar internationally you might wonder what on earth is going on but there is serious serious upset going on in the u.k. right now ok andrew many thanks listening tonight who's in brussels for us here on the news i mean has the commission heard from mr johnson yet because 24 hours ago he was saying look i've got to get 320 votes i'm pretty sure i'm going to get it because the g a signaling they might be on board and then all of a sudden the world of politics starts talking about the lead to an amendment.

well what we do know from the european commission in the form of a tweet by a spokesperson is that they have taken note of the vote on but let win amendments and that they're waiting for the u.k. government to let them know about its next steps now there are a lot of cautious messages coming out not just from brussels but from the likes of the irish prime minister les of varadkar he's tweeted saying that any extension would have to be discussed and granted unit unanimously by the 27 heads of state and government similarly french diplomatic sources on saturday have been saying that a further delay would not be in anyone's interest secular in what president manual macross said at the end of that you summit here on friday saying he didn't want he hoped there wouldn't be a further delay behind this is a real reluctance in the e.u.

for any kind of opening up negotiations again they have renegotiated the deal that they struck with the former prime minister to resign may boris johnson here assured them that he could get this through parliament it hasn't happened yet but behind the scenes the likes of chancellor merkel of germany have been saying that if the deal hasn't been passed by the deadline of the end of october leaving the prospect of a no deal bracks it that it would be inevitable in her words for the you to grant an extension so the message is we are waiting for you to tell us whether or not you can get this deal passed and we really hope that you can do but if it comes to it if it if it comes down to the prospect of a no deal bracks it which would harm the prospect the economic interests of the republic of ireland in the 1st instance then e.u. leaders almost certainly will grant that extension 19 thank you.

moving on the government in lebanon says it's agreed on a new budget that cancels a series of taxes and fees that sparked days of protests hundreds of gathered for a 3rd day in the lebanese capital beirut to demand what demonstrates the calling a revolution at least 2 people have been killed in demonstrations pushing for political change and reforms to reduce the cost of living. live to beirut and my colleague stephanie tech correspondent covering the story so staff at the protest seemed to be growing in number what do they actually want from the government. and just as we were going to stay again communication is not perhaps as good as they could be to beirut we will go back to stephanie if and when we can in fact she's back right now steph we're having problems talking to you will go with it as long as it lasts but the protesters are calling for a revolution what does that actually mean. i think they want to reduce it when it

comes to the political situation. so now that because there is a rap we had all just behind our feet are this is the way they protest here in beirut what they want and genuine all these are led to believe there is to go and when we do have lots of islamic government here. that are coming from the doctors everyone just all the people who want a full government for the families of the people of this right and that's about you know what they do about those who run the country the big money because they say they are corrupt they lined up markets every year for millionaires and billionaires where when it comes to even know the way they see it live their life was kind of like you know him a certain i'm going on to be the guy couldn't be further from the fish but there is something missing that you know i want to tell you. don't believe he didn't.
