placed on tuesday he can get an imprint for vote of confidence on his deal until they've seen that i don't think they will make a decision on the length of the extension which is really the issue they've got to consider so basically the brussels is going to be in no rush to grant this extension they're just going to wait and see what happens correct i think they will grant the extension i don't see i don't see the european council saying no to the extension because then they will be blamed for no deal and i think they've been up salute the consistent under no circumstances can they let that happen but what they want to do in determining the length of the extension is to just wait to see how things play out early next week because they're very unclear now on the london side until there's a degree of clarity on this side i don't think they can make a conclusive decision around whether the extension should be to 31st of january shorter or longer at that clarity next week the expectation is that boris johnson
6:01 am
will try to put his deal to a vote on monday now if you look at the numbers from today's vote on the amendment what does it suggest about whether he has enough support in parliament to get his deal through. i think today was a superficial defeat for boris i think the debates in the numbers are moving in his direction he has 306 m.p.'s oppose the let win amendments so they are 306 in the bag for him he needs 320 there were 6 labor m.p.'s that defied jeremy corbyn in opposing the win amendment so that's another potential 65 labor m.p.'s abstained there's a group of 21 tory m.p.'s that lost the whip i would say out of that group at least 5 now are signalling they're going to come on board by the calculations where running we think he's about 5 or 6 mph shaw so he is close to securing a majority for his deal the question is whether there's a vote on monday or indeed that takes place on tuesday but there's a real coalition here that could deliver a majority for his deal in the next week we should have our own line from here

great thank you. it with the news hour live from london still had a truce largely holds in northern syria but turkey's president warns he'll attack kurdish forces again if they don't withdraw. i. at least around to enforce involves alona to stop another night of violence of the jailing of cattle and separatist leaders also. on paul restart the rugby world cup where japan will hope history repeats itself when they take on south africa in their 1st ever call to find. out lebanon's finance minister saying he's agreed a final budget with the prime minister rafiq hariri a 3rd day of anti-government protest the budget does not include any additional taxes or fees in an effort to appease demonstrators harry gave his government

partners a 72 hour deadline on friday to agree on reforms to ward off an economic crisis on the reports now from beirut. they are up against the political leadership that is clinging on to power and they have used force to do that i day 3 of protests lebanon's army and security forces are being accused of heavy handed tactics which are further inferior rating demonstrators they haven't left the streets despite the crackdown and arrests their demands remain the same wash our beloved. oh the government should resign and early elections must follow the response from the ruling alliance what's clear one act play out well now that we don't want the government to resign if it does it will take one or 2 years to form a new government and the economic crisis will worsen any will be made up of the
6:04 am
same political forces. who. but that is what protesters don't want they want change tension has been building for months these are difficult economic times and they blame those who have been in power for decades for corruption and the mismanagement. many here are unemployed some can't pay their children's school tuition fees others can't buy medicine or pay for their hospital bills the defiance is palpable people behind us are refusing we are all gathered as live any from. from or religion we're saying one word weak i'm not any more accept you. as giving them and support you supporting the last march that the government has put on no more yesterday president how do you decide we have 72 hours the 72 hours i'm not going to change anything. plans to impose more taxes triggered the protest prime
6:05 am
minister sato how d.d. on friday gave his political partner 72 hours to come up with alternative sources of revenue for the budget it seems the political elite are scrambling to find a solution but that appears to have done little to call the anger tens of thousands are protesting but has made clear the majority of lebanese have the secretary general hossam the stroller said if hezbollah supporters decide to protest they will change the equation and balance of power and other lebanese consider that a threat and the child of the iranian backed group has a military way also told those on the streets they won't be able to topple the ruling alliance was lebanon's political and sectarian divide is deep but those who are raising their voices are standing united carrying only the lebanese flag this is the biggest nationwide protest in years but there is a large number of lebanese whose allegiance remains with their political parties
6:06 am
it's unclear how much. those on the streets can achieve their own beirut. oh protesters have been out in force well into the night let's go live to stephanie deca in beirut and as we're hearing that the lebanese prime minister saad hariri has been trying to appease the protest as best out in force there in the lebanese capital. they are they're still out in force it is saturday night here but it's a very different picture from what for yesterday would cheer gas. was being deployed here the crowd is now smaller than it has been of the balls a couple of hours people have started to leave but there are still you know a couple of thousands who were here at the same thing people on the downfall of there she now we've got secure just coming in the last 20 minutes or so so i mean who is the head of the lebanese forces one of the main christian margins here an
6:07 am
institution really in the political scene of lebanon played a large part of the lebanese civil war has it all his ministers to resign from government he has more ministers in the cabinet now that doesn't mean a collapse of the government as at the moment but certainly it is the 1st byproduct if you will of what is going on here and also a message to the prime minister that his is the worst i mean he shouted out that he did not have confidence in this government to fix the situation on the ground the situation on the ground remains the protests are saying they will continue to come out tomorrow there will be a strike on monday of course monday is the day that the 72 hours road and right now it's when no the prime minister said that that was the deadline for these reforms to be put in place so there's going to be pressure that we're going to have to wait and see how this plays out the interesting thing is everyone you speak to will say that these protests are unprecedented but when you all see them what do you think is going to happen everyone everyone eyeballs tells you that nobody you know. yes
6:08 am
as you say. promises saad hariri has given his coalition partners that 72 hour ultimatum to get behind his reform agenda now if some mayor john is saying he's pulled out of the government potentially all those would do the same maybe even higher eory might resign himself i mean people expecting that they could be really a collapse of the government and probably early elections as a result of this. it is what people want this is for sure and i think this is what they're saying here that they don't want the government to decide they want the whole political establishment to change it up but i think that is going to be a tall order that is going to be difficult but really the pressure that these protests are putting on this government we know they've been meeting today you mentioned there a statement saying that they may have agreed on a budget they are feeling the heat this is this is not something that they are used to the gates put the seat of government here in. peaceful event this is another
6:09 am
extraordinary thing mary lou we've been witnessing today is that agony to hire someone tries to antagonize the military or the police the security forces we've seen a couple of sound of the bulbs throughout the water bottles there was a mine of people. in front of that they will put up their guns try to push everyone back and start chanting peaceful peaceful so people are very keen to keep this a peaceful protest to give no justification to the security forces to use tear gas to use water cannons all those things we saw employed here last night and to give them the legitimacy if you will to stick to those 2 months and to what reforms that will improve their lives so their voices remain very loud and have to wait and see what kind of pulled out potentially the political elements are going to have over the next 24 hours or so thank you very much with the latest from beirut stephanie

deca. techies president has vowed. press on with his offensive in northern syria and crush the heads of kurdish forces if they don't withdraw from my proposed safe said truce is largely holding. his forces and turkey vickie's the child out of violations under a deal brokered with the united states kurdish fighters have to leave an area affected you can only take state and syria where techie wants to establish an cycle safe so that was your type i do want says he will resume the offensive if the fighters don't withdraw by cheese day evening he also said he'll discuss the area with his russian counterpart vladimir putin next week charles traffic brings us more now from chad on panache on the attack in syria. volunteers and medics say that off to being repeatedly denied access by turkish backed forces to the town of russell i know they were eventually allowed in and able to evacuate some of the injured from a hospital there and also deliver medical aid now there have been sporadic clashes
6:11 am
in the town the wider cece far across the border area though it does seem to be holding has been a statement made by the kurdish forces commander was loom abdi he's accusing turkey of scuppering this us brokered deal by not allowing kurdish fighters out of the city of russell and we've spoken to some of the syrian forces in there and they date say well they say kurdish forces are refusing to leave their positions meanwhile president over the war has has reiterated his threats that if those kurdish fighters do not leave the proposed safety zone by the end of choose date nights then turkish military operations will resume. mexico's president and his american counterpart of agree to act to prevent illegal weapons from entering mexico via the united states but too late leaders spoke by telephone after
6:12 am
a shootout between a drug cartel and security forces in the mexican city of can that killed 8 people mexico estimates that more than 80 percent of the weapons used by mexican drug gangs come across the border from the u.s. friday's gun battle was sparked by the brief detention of the son of jailed drug kingpin joaquin el chapo guzman mexico's foreign minister says they released him to prevent the loss of more life well soldiers are patrolling the streets of chile's capital santiago a student led demonstrations and to that 12th straight day security forces fired tear gas and used water cannon to disperse the latest protest widespread anger at a rise in trying to get prices has spilled over into violence with many stations deliberately attacked and burned president sebastian pinera has declared a state of emergency as discussed this summer with jorge 7 man who is a chilean research in social movements from the university of cambridge how serious
6:13 am
is the situation in chile for there to be a state of emergency and for these protests of resulted in violence i think the most serious thing is that. to observe this in a law long time span is to see that it was declared the state of emergency as a political response to social unrest i think that is the most serious thing here considering that this is the 1st time this state of emergency is declared since a dictatorship would have been a shed so since 1980 s. enormously significant it's enormously significant because it is it justified except for natural the sauce to us this is the 1st time that it's called in the capital city is it justified in my impression it's. arguably but i would say it's not because this should be a political dialogue this should be certain some sort of.
6:14 am
agreements table to talk about these 2 maybe step back with a decision of pricing the 1st of the of the metro that cost all of this but actually that is just tip of the iceberg so this to observe this story you have to go back to all this previous years actually the last 20 years this isn't just a protest over the rise in train fares as i guess though that just triggered an enormous unrest until in society underlying causes then were the long line causes i would say that the bottom line is in new liberal system at its most extreme version a some form of politician defined chill is like the north korea of neo liberalism so really hard core i mean everything all the social services are privatized your pension system water supplies there are regions in chile where you don't have to have water for instance so people are supplied with trucks because all the water has gone through private companies profiting from it and actually people that of
6:15 am
taint this rights in a very shady way since the tablet health system other services it it's weak it's impoverished it's dominated by vested interests and is it likely that those people will be willing to compromise on this or to negotiate their privileges away no way i don't think the chilean political system will step back in this i mean the discussion today is if they will go from a state from urgency to total curfew. so that demonstrate that there is room in there in the political class there are some voices saying ok we might have to get to an agreement and to dialogue with different forces in society. do you think dialogue is more likely if we even just with this declaration of a state of emergency and obviously that presumably then gives the police and the government special powers could they use that to crackdown on protesters and
6:16 am
protests i think a lot of the things that will i mean many things will be defined in the events of this next 3 days it would say because we have tanks in the streets we didn't see that in the last 30 years we have the military in the streets so there might happen something really really damaging for the future of this conversations but the must be some conversation and there must be a process of learning from the political class to understand that people cannot take it anymore because they're not i mean they can't live with this city with these conditions thank you very much for helping us to understand what hates of editor or to learn thank you best of cambridge. with the news ally from london. argentina's president urges hundreds of thousands of people to march in support of his reelection campaign most polls suggest he'll be easily defeated. opposition rejects the results of choose days election putting a fragile peace deal of risk. and in sport with sound we hear from one of the

the top stories this hour u.k.'s prime minister boris johnson has sent an unsigned letter to the e.u. asking for an extension to practice after failing to secure a vote is the deal in parliament but he has also sent another letter arguing that a deal beyond october 31st a delay i should say a delay beyond october 31st would be a mistake thousands of people have been out protesting for a 3rd day in lebanon's capital demanding revolution and widespread anger of the political elite and their failure to improve the country's faltering economy. and chilean security forces have clashed with protesters in santiago after another day of line of demonstrations over a subway. well we've had to correspondents monitoring reaction to the day's brights it developments in different parts of the u.k. in a moment we'll hear from haywood in the northern fishing port of hall which voted overwhelmingly
6:21 am
to leave the e.u. in the 2016 vote 1st though this report from neve baka in belfast northern ireland which has been at the center of the u.k.'s breck's it divine. norton's democratic unionist party has thrown its support behind the let win amendment in order to scupper at least for the time being boris johnson's hopes of getting his brakes it planned over the line according to senior figures within the d u p allows them extra time to scrutinise his plan with more detail and if his breaks a deal goes to a vote again possibly next week the d.p. once again say that they will vote it down why while they very much regard it as a betrayal of unionism because of the difference in customs arrangements between mainland britain and northern ireland as a result of course johnson's plan it means that there will be a customs border a de facto border down the middle of the irish sea and even if it ends up benefiting northern ireland in the long run it's the symbolism for unionists that
6:22 am
really counts from the nationalists side of things while they had somewhat reluctantly thrown their support behind bars johnson's deal largely because it promised them no return to a hollow border on the island of violent especially given threats from distant republicans to target any infrastructure should there be a hard border we're now in limbo the unionists very much a binding together in criticism of the deal put forward by by boris johnson they want to make sure that they continue holding the prime minister's feet to the fire going forward. well here and how more than 2 thirds of people voted to leave the e.u. back in 26 scene and speaking to people over the last couple of days people still believe that they made the right decision on really want to get bricks that over the line are simply fed up with the process and believe that any delays are unnecessary their own politicians to concentrate on other matters and bricks it to
6:23 am
be done c'mon this is democracy a group photo slave let's lace everybody wanna see now it's been going on to home. especially the people who would give a lot of money. we're always giving them only small charm was sort of all wrong. i want to go. by phyllis i was being compromised we've accepted something that is not really you know. i would like to think that we would have a people again now that we have more information like just to be able to be given that chance but i would still remain we would go a lot to lose if we leave the e.u. but of course some businesses are concerned about what works that might bring in the challenges that it could pose because they have strong economic links between hold on the rest of the e.u. there is a real strong feeling will not disappear but it is time to get out of the e.u. the brics it is so divisive up and down the country that you go 101530 kilometers
6:24 am
away and you get a completely different viewpoint. well protesters have been out in the spanish city of boston for the 6th consecutive night they've been angry at the jailing of cattle and separatist leaders on sedition charges over a failed independence bid each day the protest has descended into violent clashes with police nearly 200 people injured on friday night spain's acting prime minister petra sanchez has dismissed a call for dialogue from catalonia regional chief sanchez says kim tauren must 1st condemn the separatists on rest that's been roiling lona charlie angelo joins us live now from barcelona and charlie just explain what's happening around you there seems to be quite a heavy police presence where you are. yes you can certainly feel the tension growing between police and protests as you can see the police only fastens were to gas canisters and they've been told to buy these protests as with stones with paint bombs over the eggs but they've yet to receive
6:25 am
a i've also seen some demonstrators coming right up to the face of some police trying time talking eyes and they've been pulled back into the crowd behind me you can see out here a lot of the crowd a sitting down on the ground that chanting we are peaceful protest as the reason they're doing that is because i just bring you around over here you can see there's an entire bank of police vans and they've just announced that they will start pushing back this crowd out this is a central square and 3 of the exits of blocked off by police the hotels the businesses there of lock their doors they put up the shutters but a lot of the windows have been smashed so it's going to be in sync to see where 'd these thousands of protesters are. when the police to bar none of these protesters now are students but earlier they were to invite thousands of other spaniards many of them professionals some of them retired couples and one couple i spoke to said that while they had started their demonstrations monday against the
6:26 am
sentences given to those pro independence has landed as they were now really protesting against what they considered police brutality the disproportionate response against protesters on friday when police used rubber bullets and tear gas injuring 150 protesters 3 of which are now in a critical condition and we're hoping that we don't see a repeat of that tonight. so concerns among protest has also about the police the use of force or the excessive use of force to marry but if you are still talking to me i can tell you that the. leaders on both sides will be watching the events very very carefully. tour the craft president has said that he wants the central government to sit down and gauge what tools find a way to end this crisis but the axing president had the scientists said we will not engage in dialogue until going towards announces the violence that was seen on
