circle of poison on al-jazeera. 0. hello i'm the star and this is the news hour live from daryn coming up in the next 60 minutes a ceasefire deadline fast approaches his forces and civilians continue their withdrawal from northeast and syria. lebanon's government pledges swift and sweeping reforms to revive the economy but will it be enough to satisfy protesters demands. and back in power challenges await prime minister justin trudeau and forming a new government in canada. and support one of

those hyped players of the n.b.a. zion williams that is set to miss the start of the new season plus spying allegations that the rugby world cup is in one spot an unwanted spectator at training out of their 70 final against news to. tell he's president rushed up talk about iran has repeated his threat to restart the military operation against kurdish fighters in northeast and syria iran is heading to the russian port city of sochi where he'll meet fatima prison the leaders are expected to discuss the tuckers ceasefire that was brokered by the united states which is due to expire in just a matter of hours the cut is syrian democratic forces have pulled out of some areas along the border but not everywhere agreed under the terms of the truce. vladimir putin will discuss all the steps to be taken in order to maintain the territorial integrity of syria and to cleanse the northern parts of syria from terrorists and

terrorist organizations we will also be revisiting the efforts made for drafting a new constitution and we will also discuss it live and the significance attach of this area including a ceasefire we want a lasting peace in syria i hope our meeting will make progress well in just a moment we'll hear from charles strategies on the syrian border and we also have stepped past in line for us in such the weather is talks on taking place but 1st let's go to sit and only in istanbul for them we're already hearing that tech ish the turkish side is threatening to strengthen their offensive going forward what's the thinking like from istanbul at the moment as one heads from moscow. well u.s. turkey plans to continue its a for a sions if they asked the mainly kurdish fighter group y.p. to doesn't fully withdraw from the designated safe zone i have to say that during this operation peace bring conducted in north of syria by the turkish military and

the opposition's national syria syrian national army. russia and turkey haven't been on the same page fully as it was during the operations conducted on the west of the euphrates river which are the operation all of branch and euphrates field operations russia was up against this operation that's why turkey wants to persuade russia plus turkey has said that there are turkey is fine with the syrian regime controlling those areas in the designated safe zone but they want to make sure that those areas under control of the syrian regime are fully cleared of these. mainly the kurdish fighters group why p.j. this is what turkey is pushing for and after the u.s. the session to withdraw from this area this t.f. actually engage with the syrian regime and most call doesn't recognize out both kurdistan workers party which turkey believes it's linked with the y.p.

as a terrorist organization so turkey is kind of in between when it comes to these points besides that when we look at the statements by the s.d.f. n y p g mainly on the commander level they don't seem to be willing to fully withdraw from from from the native safe zone area so turkey will push for this as far as we can see from istanbul and there is one will from turkey turkey wants to stop this 12 military post and that has ignited safe zone where the russia is going to be. going to be accepting this is a question mark but turkey is concerned about the y.p. to presence in the syria government controlled areas mainly come. which is another up sin and cos are there for us in istanbul well let's go live now to sochi where those talks are about to take place step basson is there for us so step they're all a few things slated to be on today's agenda including a potential further took kurdish withdrawal what's likely to actually come out of

this meeting. well it's going to be a long and complicated process that's how the spokesman of france and putin has described these talks that are about to start here in a sort she just hours before the cease fire is going to expire president putin is now seen as the main brokered a power broker in syria after the united states has pulled out and russia has always said that it understands turkish concerns because security concerns it has on its own its border area but on the other hand russia also wants to protect the integrity to the territorial integrity of syria so it's going to be a very fine balancing act that they're put in here has to display on the one hand he wants to bring together damascus and which is a very difficult process on the other hand he's trying to bring together the kurds

and the syrian government on the other hand basically what president putin wants and that has been sacked by his minister of foreign affairs as well is he wants syria and turkey to go back to an agreement the other night agreement in 1908 a very old agreement which basically was immense to make sure that syria and turkey can live in peace if syria can reign in the kurdish fighters and that's a very crucial question of course the main debate here will also be about is security zone this so-called safe safe zone russia doesn't want it to be as big as turkey or one wanted to be no 32 kilometers so that's going to be a very very difficult issue as well a long and complicated process it will be and steadfast and will be staying across that long and complicated process for us in such a thank you step. on leaving out the child. advocate tattle syrian border towns it's now just hours before the ceasefire ends give us a sense of what's happening on the ground there at the moment. of the cease fire on

the border certainly seems to still be holding but some interesting statements made by president or to one before leaving for sort she saying that the turkish forces had control of an area of 2200 square kilometers as he put it had been freed of terrorists and that area included $160.00 what he described as settlements now if you look at this proposed safe zone that is 440 kilometers along the border and around 30 kilometers deep the area currently according to the turks or certainly missed the wall on that they have taken control of is far far smaller than that so it obviously draws doubts as to whether the kurdish forces have withdrawn enough interesting there were some statements made it in in superior with an american media network last night by the s.d.f.

come on to muslim muslim abdi and he said reiterating what the s.d.f. said when this agreement was initiated almost 5 days ago now he said that the s.d.f. had not agreed to the u.s. turkey cease fire in its entirety he said that the trust in the u.s. what it was at its lowest ebb and he described the decision by the u.s. to withdrawal their forces from this area as a strategic mistake so there are doubts serious doubts as to whether those kurdish forces have withdrawn anough to potentially prevent a resumption of turkey's military campaign also very interesting with respect to those u.s. troops that are leaving this area there was a statement put out by associated press. talking about the iraqi government according to a.p. the saying that the iraqi government has not given permission to the u.s.

for the soldiers that have moved from here to stay in iraq this again highlighting the kind of pressures that the iraqi government have been under increasingly in recent months as we've seen more tension between the u.s. and iran and we know how much of a of a dominating role the iranians have in iraq again it shows you certainly legitimizes what a lot of the critics have said with respect to trump's policy that this whole move in with jordan those forces from this area have potentially weakened the u.s. position in this region stratford keeping an eye on the turkish syrian border for us thank you for that update charles well let's dig down into this a little more joining us here and. here is a senior fellow at the al-jazeera center of the studies and a professor of conflict resolution at george mason university mr kelly how in your mind has the ceasefire gone so far because as we saw it was broken a number of times but there has also been apostle pullback of kaddish forces so so

far it has been a success or failure it looks it is a promise in development i recall late french president jacques chirac on the eve of the iraqi war in 2003 when he said war is the war solution therefore let's consider diplomacy so abundantly and this is the fruit of the mission of the vice president pens. and i think the u.s. british other has maintained the idea that it's not an open ended military operation or in a good way to turks in the lands of syria so hopefully you know at least there is some consideration of a possible humanitarian crisis on the horizon and therefore the strategy of all of the gun has to be minimised. and also not to go forward with the claim that he is fighting an isis and therefore he was willing to give a nice success for the claim of isis when he meets with the

white house next month well where do we go from here when what are the potential options now because a cease fire is ending in a few hours and the russians say they're now considering this german idea of an internationally controlled security zone in northern syria how likely is that well in those broad prospects offices for. a very good this is step one what we need now is step 2 how we can put some mechanisms in the field not to let the turks or any of the groups military or political expression in that there are several militias non-state actors who may turn into a spoilers of this agreement so we need the international community especially the europeans who still have some credibility in the eyes of the kurds in the eyes of the syrians in the eyes of the deterrents to maintain this process or their wise we may have one day of this fire for one day and then we'll know what happens the

following day on the check out there a senior fellow at the al-jazeera center for studies thanks for joining us around us there well iraq's military says u.s. troops who crossed over from syria do not have permission to stay there the soldiers are part of forces who withdrew from northern syria as the turkish operation against kurdish fighters began around khan has moved from baghdad. the statement was issued by the joint iraqi military operations command it said that the us troops have permission to enter from the kurdish region but they're only allowed to transit to a location outside of iraq now that's in stark contrast to what we've been hearing over the last couple of days what we've heard is that the u.s. troops are going to base themselves in a military base in the west of iraq where they would mount their operations continue their operations and if need be moved from there back into north eastern syria now we do know the prime minister abdul mahdi met with the u.s.

ambassador when they discussed this troop movement it was agreed at that meeting that the u.s. troops could come through into the kurdish region of northern iraq and then go to a no military base that seemingly has changed almost overnight and it just goes to show you a lot of the iraqis we speak to here are wondering what the u.s. policy actually is whether it's being made on the fly with the people of thinking about it let's lot of confusion here in iraq has to why this situation has changed it's a very sensitive topic to u.s. troops on the ground in iraq it's something that a lot of the political parties certainly don't want they say that the iraqi the americans left iraq and that should remain the case and that the only people that should be here are advisers to the iraqi military particularly when the war against eisel was going on so now we're in a situation where the u.s. troops have been told that they can only transit in iraq where will they go it was

likely what we've been hearing the last couple of days that the rebase to a very large military base in kuwait well meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has indicated that washington is still prepared to take military action in the region if a quiet. where we see american interest at stake or fundamental norms around the world that need to be in force we'll use all the powers that we have you suggest that the economic powers that we've used will certainly use them we'll use our diplomatic powers as well those are our preference we prefer peace to war but in the event that kinetic action or military action is needed you should know the present trump is fully prepared to undertake that action. moving on to other news now and protesters in lebanon demanding more reforms despite the government approving sweeping economic measures to improve the economy authorities appear to be tightening security as police and military dispense protesters trying to erect barricades prime minister side hariri announced

a plan to defuse the biggest demonstrations and is against the nation's leaders but activists say they will keep going to the streets until the entire cabinet steps down while our correspondents anahata is north of the capital beirut then where do we go from here assuming stalemate now between the government and the protesters so what are the options going forward. the crisis is far from over we are on the main highway that links the lebanese capital beirut to the north of the country protesters are blocking the highway yes there are side roads that remain open for people to move from one area to another but it just makes it more difficult if you talk to people here they remain just fine if they say we will stay here until the government falls the government's presented a solution to the crisis. saying that we have a new economic plan but people here and it's too late it's not enough we do not trust the ruling elite we want them to leave power 2 but then we have to ask ourselves what how realistic is it for them to achieve their demands that this is

a leaderless movement at least this is how it began but now some politicians in the opposition are writing on the wave of popular anger but those politicians in the opposition are weak they're weak politically because this is the government the parliament is controlled by the hezbollah led alliance that's the president of the country the speaker of parliament as well as the iranian backed group so they are pretty close politically and the opposition yes they have supporters some of them are in the streets as well like i said they're riding on the way of a popular anger but what real change. can they bring about how they are viewed the role of the army has always been key and lever not the prime minister called the army chief late yesterday he told the people demonstrate let them remain in the street but they cannot construct life. like my so far the army has not

intervened there sitting on the side that have been through force yes in some areas but man it's opened the road so people here have faith in the army that the army is standing behind them so it is on clear out there that you know how things are going to develop in the days to come i will give you one example the lebanese university it's been closed since friday now the administration of the university is saying classes are going to resume tomorrow the student union is saying no students are not going to attend classes so the crisis will not result but the biggest question knew how long can this last for the government you really and i won't say you more but enforce the fact that you know road to the to be open and people need to return to their. benefit of that there is a north of beirut for us thank you very much for that update sanna well let's now go live to be a bit elsewhere stephanie deca is live for us steph what's the latest from way you

there have been difficulties moving around and we've obviously seen extraordinary numbers protesting over the last few days in beirut but what's happening outside the major cities. while we're on the tripoli highway which needs to the 2nd largest city in the north you can see that still remains this is an artery really so people remain calm to out here this is the area as you mentioned and you can see they've set up tents playing games they've got food there's also some camping tents a little further along because people will sleep over here because they say that if they don't they're afraid that the road will reopen this is all an effort. to keep pressure on the government because they don't think it's an off now i'm going to bring in jessica a baby chooser resident she's protesting here she's been to various protests all across the country jessica the reforms came out yesterday you guys are still here what do you want. first i want to bring in

a bit of context because on economic crisis when its face was a high level of corruption and a total absence of forms to develop and to social and political crisis and the fact that the government has failed to see that and to mitigate that shows a lot a lot of level of incompetency which we're not ok with is and its value bad because it says that they live in these people go abroad all over the word and build nations but they're governed by the worst of the people and yesterday the paper that came up shows also a high level of incompetence because it's so i'm realistic that i that thinking that the people will not be able to see that which is not quite true and it would be impossible to implement and it shows a lack of total absence of actually foremost because all of the citizens in lebanon know where the corruption hawks are and it shows that no one in the government is willing to put to put an end to start option even to put the small kind of fee forms so all of the government is saying that we want to negotiate was a good but we don't want to do anything from our side and we want you off the streets and the people are saying you know we're not going to take that so it's

going to be difficult to the for this to continue that are you concerned the men momentum will continue i mean it said once the government going to do at some stage i think the government has run out of options because on the 1st day they could have managed to invent that if that was one wise person in the government they would have went on t.v. live on t.v. and said that we're willing to do the actual the forms that all the people of lebanon would know what the forms would be which cut down on even travel because this might be just a minor detail for that kind of situation however it says a lot about building trust was it says it's was a citizens so now they're asking the citizens to obey all their taxes to pay all the costs of the of their corruption that no one that's willing to. to do that at the current stage when they failed to do that and they tried to buy themselves on what they did is just one mentum industries and at the current stage there's no going back so even if they do like like let's explore that options if they do decide to open the roads and anyway they will not be able to govern and for the

next maximum few months is because you know that have to implement a study to measures because of that kind of a crisis and who is the 1st key is thinking up to implementing a standard to measure is having the trust of the citizens with it completely lost so they will not be able to maintain the 2nd option is that they would come and crack down violently on protesters and then none that even a single person of them would be up to the again they will also not be able to govern so they don't out the factions it just says that trying to buy themselves time however it is not going to have to resign form a new smaller emergency cabinet with specialized people specialize in their sectors who can take this say come to me and move on because one thing we've never heard of how they're going to actually grow the economy so they're telling us we're going to plug this budget is about how are you going to bring in revenue attract investments what kind of actually deforms home are going to to create jobs because you cannot go and say we're going to create jobs when you do not have a roadmap for that and the high level of unemployment not show that you need to

talk is that you're saying that on off to those that thank you very much thank you well that's a message that everyone really has been telling us it is not good enough we don't trust you we don't want you to implement these reforms because we don't believe it's going to make a difference you are the ones that have caused the problem so we don't have the trust that you are going to be the ones to resolve it so this is the situation at the moment to the protests of course significantly not just in beirut in tripoli in the south all across this country people united with the message that they need the government this cabinet and also the parliament to go and they want new elections stuff that loss in lebanon for us thank you steph. now at least 5 civilians have been killed in yemen during an airstrike by the saudi u.a.e. coalition and struck a moving vehicle in kid tough district that's in the northwestern province of sada 2 children and 2 women were among the dead the u.n. says ending the war as soon as possible this crucial the saudi u.a.e. coalition has been fighting for the rebels alongside yemen's government since 2015

and taliban fighters have killed at least 16 afghan police offices it happened in the district in kunduz province 3 fighters were also killed well there's plenty more ahead for you this news hour including anger in the libya confusion about the election results stokes concern about foul play. israel's prime minister fails to form a government again we'll tell you what that means for the country. and one of the most highly anticipated n.b.a. debuts has been put on hold all the details and sports later on this program. canada's justin trudeau has secured a 2nd term as prime minister but his liberal party hasn't gained enough seats to form a majority in parliament now that means that should or will need to rely on the support of the new democratic party in order to push through legislation the main

opposition conservative party picked up votes where liberal support fell down a lack reports from toronto. for justin trudeau it definitely could have been worse . before the campaign page showed growing public mistrust with the man who won resoundingly jordi just 4 years earlier. then photographs emerged that showed him wearing racist black face makeup as a young man adding to earlier scandals about ethics and accusations of broken promises in the end the canadians gave him another chance tonight canadians rejected division and negativity. they rejected cuts i know a stereotype and they voted in favor of a progressive agenda and strong archon on climate change.

the result is disappointing for the conservative opposition leader andrew scheer who had been steadily improving his standing with the voters before the campaign he faced his own challenges on the hustings accusations of encouraging fake news and online trolling and revelations that he had dual us canadian citizenship and hadn't told the voters he promised to fight on and hold mr trudeau accountable after the 2015 election when justin trudeau looked on stoppable when all the pundits an expert said it was the beginning of another trudeau dynasty that he would have 8 or even 12 years in power but tonight conservatives have put justin trudeau on notice and mr trudeau when your government falls conservatives will be ready and we will win the. climate change policy was a strong issue in this election with the conservatives promising to scrap a carbon tax brought in by trudeau's liberals and do more for the country's oil

industry but most voters disagreed and backed candidates including liberals who promised more aggressive steps to fight global warming and the changing climate. call this if you will a strong minority government mr trudeau's opponents may have the numbers to beat him in parliament but they're unlikely to do so canadians won't have to face a general election for some time to come daniel like al-jazeera toronto. there have been violent protests in bolivia the president is being accused of trying to manipulate sunday's election results so he can avoid a runoff in december even moralez appears to have a 10 percent lead over his main rival but is refusing to accept the result john homa reports from the past but that. the streets abilities kept to disappear into a haze of. it was aimed at the thousands of mostly young people who came out of the night against the lection they saw this flotilla i thought i must break this down

the party we are protesting because we are tired of this government which many places which doesn't respect our vote was they will bins into the road to block the police and lit fires to counteract the effects of the tear gas why are elsewhere those more harmful burning down voting centers and sue clearly pull to see. it was strange to think the old sunday night they've been celebrating the preliminary vote count showed challenger colors messa heading into a 2nd round behind the incumbent president eval moralise won the last 2 elections by a landslide and then the vote count froze when it came back 24 i was later ever more or less was far ahead and suddenly on the brink of a 1st round victory. it wasn't just these protesters who questioned so did the organization of american states officially observing these elections. the electoral

court presented dasa with an inexplicable change in trend which dress to clean modify the end result of the election and generates a loss of trust in the electoral process. was president yet declared himself the winner but his opponent colors messer is ready to announce the process. the government's trying to stop us going to a 2nd round that was clearly established yesterday to revoke counting system that would stay. arbitrarily. everwhere i was remains the country's most popular politician he's growing the economy and dramatically cut public but in recent years he's lost some of his overwhelming support partly through what many have seen as a gradual erosion of democracy was the many this would be the last rule is most young people that been protesting here into the night basically they say that what's happened in this election is a fraud and that they don't accept it and that they won't change the law there are

already calls for a national strike a mass protests these people is just the beginning of the struggle john holmes now does it on the past. chillies government has enforced a cafe for a 3rd night after another day of violence in santee police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse thousands of protesters in the capital at least 11 people have been killed in the demonstrations which starts in 2 weeks ago i have an increase in train ticket prices that since been scrapped. people in santiago spent al is queuing for food and fuel prices schools and businesses remain closed and wal-mart says more than $100.00 of its stores were on the weekends and in some cases session nice but our correspondent on our panel has more from the capital. it's still past curfew in the chilean capital and what you hear around me that banging noise this is what's known as he said these are people that have come out of their of their

windows out of their balconies from their apartments and they're banging on pots and plant and pans this is a way for them to show their protests that continue to demonstrate without having to go outside and risk arrest there was another day of on rest as this curfew now persists into the 3rd night in a row as a state of emergency remains in effect in chile earlier on monday there were thousands of people were protesting in an area known as part of the palio this is plus a value this is an area that's historically been the center of a political movement here in protesters once again met by tear gas water cannons as well as smoke bombs from from police want to read a few statistics from the national human rights institute since the unrest began here and there have been 1333 people that have been arrested 88 injured by firearms and at least 11 people who have died within the context of this unrest which is one of the biggest dangers that people say that they have you not only are they upset

anniversary of its 1st post independence revolution demonstrators many of the uprising came with new. reports. chants similar to the one chanted on the streets of sudan during a protest which started last december that. the anniversary of the country's 1st revolution in 1984 and even though the most recent revolution overthrew the country's longtime president bashir in april protest to see his regime is the. horizon that. we want them completely gone they're still in power still hold position not for revenge they can work like any other sudanese but they can't be in the government holding positions of power after the sacrifice of lives to bring change the country. were called by neighborhood resistance committees bodies that protestors over the past 10 months

they targeted their allies in the forces of freedom and change that the coalition that represented protestors in talks with the military council that. the transitional government was formed in august but protest it has not done enough to dismantle the old regime. or meet their demands. we're here to tell the world that evolution is not. we demand justice for our martyrs who were killed in the protests for all those killed by the name we want justice for the girls who were right for those whose lives were destroyed 10 months after. people here are still demanding justice prime minister. a fact finding committee to look into the killings of protesters early but many here. must also be investigated. as prime minister in august he says the government is still new and

that reforms need to be a joint effort between it and the government. since a civilian government formed a month and a half ago some steps have been taken to cement civilian rule and achieve the goals of your revolution what we need to do together is change that into complete accomplishment and that can be done by working together to reap with sweat and blood your government the revolution's government research that change is an ongoing process and needs a huge effort to be completed by. protesters who came out on monday say they'll give the support they can to the transitional government which will continue to remind them what they came out for when they started the latest revolution and one stop until that is achieved morgan al-jazeera. israel's prime minister has failed to form a government for the 2nd time this president reagan revolution is now expected to

last netanyahu a centrist rival benny gantz to put together a coalition force that has been. well after the end of the last of a series of jewish holy days and on his 70th birthday benjamin netanyahu admitted defeat in his efforts to try to form a coalition government he laid the blame for that squarely at the feet of the head of the opposition blue and white party benny gantz saying that he and his colleagues had rejected all of his efforts to try to form a unity government indeed they have rejected those efforts they say because they are unwilling to sit even in a rotational arrangement as prime minister with a man who as netanyahu is is facing indictments in 3 separate corruption cases than young is accusing benny gantz of wanting to form a minority government with support from the outside from the 10 members of the joint list the mainly palestinian israeli parties who have committed their support to benny gantz as a prop attentional prime minister the head of that joint list grouping has accused

netanyahu of inciting against arabs again and he says that he hopes that will be the last time he does so as prime minister now the israeli president riven rivlin has indicated that he will give the mandate to benny gantz potentially on tuesday he would then have a 28 day period in which to try to form a government but his prospects either of forming a minority government or indeed of a unity government with could with the could potentially jetted status inning was prime as prime minister in their leader they both look extremely unlikely prospect so he may well fail as well if that happens then the mandate would go to the knesset as a whole potentially with anyone from the knesset any member of the knesset who was able to muster enough support potentially trying to form a government him or herself but that too is exceptionally unlikely and that period could well coincide with the attorney general's final decision on whether to indict nessun yahoo or not in these 3 corruption cases if there is no government formed

after all of this the netanyahu could stay in office until a 3rd election in less than a year that would be potentially in march now. but there may well 'd be legal challenges to whether a prime minister could continue to sit in office while being indicted and so it does seem that there is a very turbulent bumpy few weeks and months ahead in israeli politics. now another attempt to get support for the u.k. to leave the e.u. by the end of this month will be made in parliament later on tuesday prime minister virus johnson is hoping m.p.'s will back his legislation that would allow breaks it to happen as scheduled he's already requested a delay by sending a letter to the e.u. but if the government can force its bill through parliament in time johnson hopes the u.k. could still leave the e.u. by next thursday is deadline well let's go live now to paul brennan who's in london for us paul what happens now after all this wheeling and dealing could we see another break that delay we're. it's possible there are going to

be 2 votes today 1st the vote on the 2nd reading of the bill secondly a vote on a procedural motion which basically sets out the timetable of the bill it's possible the governments could lose both of those it's possible they could win the 1st one and lose the 2nd one and thereby lose control of this process in the sense of the timing of the process that would be significant because it would mean that the opposition m.p.'s might try and spin out the discussions for far longer than the government is prepared to do and potentially that could jeopardize the october 31st deadline but i know the time is against this so let me bring in our guest is john nadler she's a north a political commentator for a conservative policy spin doctors so we know where you're coming from the the prime minister is he being backed into a corner is he really got his back against the wall now well i certainly think his room for maneuver is very small frankly i mean he's been facing an obstacle course

ever since he was selected as the party leader any less 3 months ago but those obstacles are now becoming much closer together because of the timing of all of this i think you're right i think it's more than possible that the 2nd reading of the bill will go through i think the labor party doesn't want to be seeing necessarily to be obstructing it all together but then we get into this business of the timing and the timing even if it weren't a pos is extremely extremely tight let's assume for a moment that the government gets that legislation through and where into what is less than 3 day debate in the house of commons on the complexity of this legislation then i think we'll see the opposition parties and some of whom are now former conservative ministers trying to bring changes to the legislation and mold it much more towards a deal which is frankly less acceptable to. the rest of the conservative party for

conservative supporters like you are you frustrated by that do you criticize opposition m.p.'s for demanding more than 3 days because it would seem fair enough to want more than 3 days to examine 110 pages of legislation i mean the way i see it is yes i am deeply frustrated but i also think there's a legitimate claim i things among some m.p.'s to say they need more time to debate this you've got to see that in the wider context though which is that this is been going on for 3 years now i think the government and the prime minister are quite right to to try and set a deadline to try and get something achieved by the 31st because the reality is that it may sound reasonable to say they want to look at the legislation in more detail but the effect of pushing this into the long grass means that it's quite likely that brics may never happen at all i think that's the political context in which you have to see some of these protests over the last couple of days thank you

dr mohler always good to hear various perspectives on this very thorny subject of course we'll have more throughout the day but paul brennan there for us outside westminster thank you paul on northern ireland has officially decriminalized abortion and approved same sex marriages protesters from both sides gathered near the northern irish parliament hours before the legalization took effect until now abortion was only allowed if a woman's life was at risk or if there was danger of permanent damage to her physical or mental health and same sex marriages have been allowed in england scotland and wales since 2014 now facebook says it suspended a counselling to russia and iran which threatened us uses with political messages the social media platform says russians trying to influence voters in swing states such as florida and virginia the account holders pretended to be locals and posted comments targeting both sides of the political spectrum while discussing the 2020

presidential candidates. 4 major u.s. drug companies have reached a settlement to avoid a federal trial for their role in the opioid crisis they've agreed to pay $260000000.00 to $2.00 counties in the state of ohio it sets a precedent for more than 2000 similar other cases across the country john hendren has. the leaders of 2 ohio counties walked out of a courthouse and into a landmark settlement in the united states' opioid epidemic we are a county has seen thousands of people die and the last several months and the last several years me and and it's a tragedy in summit county was no different this settlement with 4 companies is worth $260000000.00 critics call that pennies on the dollar but ohio's summit in cuyahoga county has called it money they need to cope with the crisis now people are dying now we have to deal with these issues now so the fact that we were able

to get the money in a short time frame is very helpful and that's one of the motivations for settling this the deal settles claims against distributors amerisource bergen cardinal health and mckesson and the israeli opioid manufacture. in a statement the distributor said while the company strongly dispute the allegations made by the 2 counties they believe settling the bell-wether trial is an important stepping stone to achieving a global resolution and delivering meaningful relief to have a declined to comment the pharmacy company walgreens boots alliance did not reach a settlement saying in a statement that the company never manufactured the drugs nor sold them to so-called pill mills the partial settlement by 2 ohio counties came at 1 am cleveland time hours before the start of the 1st federal trial of drug makers and distributors that trial combined thousands of cases brought by local communities across the u.s. against companies blamed for the opioid crisis that has led 240-0000 overdose

deaths over 2 decades the settlement with the ohio counties could serve as a benchmark for a larger $48000000000.00 settlement with the drug companies that would end the federal prosecution entirely the question local communities are asking is is that enough money is there enough money to fix this problem. this is going to take a society effort the companies do. not admit wrongdoing but communities in the suit say they overprescribed and deceptively advertised the drugs and failed to flag unusually high numbers of prescriptions settlement money will be used for treatment and alternatives to prosecution for those addicted to opioids at the cleveland courthouse the federal case moves forward as drug makers and distributors negotiate to come to a settlement that is expected to be the biggest opioid settlement ever john hendren 0. more than $600.00 tons of crude oil have been collected from beaches in more than brazil and almost 2 months since the whale started appearing in mid september
