hora and same keep saying much more must be done against these criminal gang use while completely ignoring the facts as human rights organizations keep saying these criminal gangs only make a living out of this because the asylum policies across the european union absolutely terrible and the e.u. keeps trying to put up fences and stop people coming in the 1st place and that's the reason why it's so lucrative for criminal gangs to exploit people in this way just today that they often this happened east of london the european parliament in strasbourg was asked to pass a resolution to make better search and rescue facilities in the mediterranean well over a 1000 people have drowned this year and that resolution was defeated by 2 votes because the center right in the european parliament allowed itself to the far right to block it and so the european union says it's into human rights while maintaining a policy of trying to stop people coming in and that ultimately is the reason why the criminal gangs are doing so well and people keep dying in this way. still ahead

on al-jazeera could try to. as the u.s. tries to chart is to develop. hello that temperatures have been coming down steadily across areas of the middle east but at the same time the cloud has been coming in steadily as has the rain showers and look at this quite a bundle of the thunderstorm trials than the east end of the med so not surprisingly. across into beirut this view looking at exactly that those dark clouds overhead more of the same on friday and those rain showers working the way through syria into iraq across into these western areas of iran becoming really quite widespread it'll bring some cooler air in as well so 16 celsius in terre look at that $29.00 degrees in baghdad and there is the charms of those showers now

still feeling pretty humid across much of the arabian peninsula temp is not too bad but as i say the humidity levels are still fairly high 34 in doha on friday and that cloud from the north that is sinking south was not really going to bring any rain but it could make you feel even more humid and then through saturday quite a bit of cloud just bubbling up there on the south coast of yemen meanwhile we have for calls into capetown the cloud is this trailing by history mean by and that will bring the temperatures down at the same time 18 degrees in capetown but a warm day on friday in durban 3332 in johannesburg and we could see want to scout the thunderstorms for you up there with the high 33.

right in the 1st round in bolivia the numbers still haven't completely come in that vote counts he said this is unofficial but he did announce to the press the national international press that he won he also said that the protests against him and against this electoral process are a coup something that he's repeating from a wednesday press conference he said the protesters of being paid to come out on the streets he said that the protests are being organized by neo liberals politicians some of them who've been around him to take to ships in the past and that he was defending democracy now to give us some context about this process over the last few days on sunday believe it went to the polls on sunday night there was a rapid count 83 percent completed that showed a 2nd round presidential child challenger carlos messer and devil morale is going

a few steps it has changed my life a lot but other technologies and they're used by chinese state apparatus have caused concern this company develops facial recognition technology designed for public security so now once an image of a person is captured it can be mediately put through a database and when there's a match an alarm goes out rights groups have criticized china's use of surveillance technology in its campaign to target ethnic weakest and other muslim minorities in syngenta in the northwest wet least a 1000000 people are held in camps earlier this month the u.s. blacklisted 28 chinese organizations including 8 tech companies the move although not directly linked to the current trade war was seen by some entrepreneurs here as a readiness to take aim at chinese tech firms. it's very normal that america wants to contain china's high tech developments in the or can you take knowledge as well

controlled by them they took the profits but only left alone by. chinese now china has made many. afraid china will take them the u.s. accuses china of coercing american firms that do business here to transfer technology to chinese partners an interim trait deal reached between the 2 sides earlier this month includes an agreement that china would do more to protect american intellectual property but the details have yet to be ironed out and if no deal is reached we may yet see another round of tariffs with no end in sight for the us china trade war florence al-jazeera beijing let's discuss china and us more with our white house correspondent kimberly who joins us live kimberly u.s. vice president has been speaking just about. yeah we expected that this might be a more dovish type speech in comparison to one he made about china

a year ago that wasn't exactly the case of the reason we thought that is that this administration is keen to try and strike a deal a partial trade deal in advance of the apec summit that's set to take place but they picked leaders next month but well this wasn't as biting as 2018 certainly the u.s. vice president did take aim against china specifically accusing it of not keeping its word in its promise to tap down intellectual property theft the main concern of the united states that its businesses have been bleeding intellectual property at the hands of china so the u.s. vice president continued to demand that the chinese leaders negotiate for fair trade policies leveling the economic playing field there is a belief the vice president said here in the united states that china's economy in the past a sword because of u.s. investment but now the things are different the temperature has changed in the eyes

of the united states and well the vice president says the united states is not seeking confrontation he also said it will not stand down in seeking to pursue american security and economic goals. no longer will america and its leaders hope that economic engagement alone will transform communist china's thora tarion state into a free and open society that respects private property the rule of law and international rules of commerce instead is the president's 2017 national security strategy articulated the united states now recognizes china as a strategic and economic rival. and i can attest firsthand the strong majority of the american people. in the city and on the farm are behind president trump's clear eyed vision of the u.s. china relationship can we just heard mike pence they're saying that you know the

u.s. considers china an economic and strategic rival is no doubt where the lines are drawn here i'm just wondering though given against projections of slower economic growth throughout the world we know that china's own economy is slowing partly attributable what to what we're seeing with the trade conflict here is the momentum gathering that yes they will be able to see all of these d. or could this once again could the tension ratchet up when we could see the 2nd read of tariffs imposed. it's very possible that there could be that 2nd round of tariffs imposed because it was very clear from the vice president's speech that the united states will not change course the vice president took aim at previous administrations i should point out democrat and republican that he believes sort of pursue the status quo allowing china to become stronger and sort of refusing to stand up for american values protecting american companies particularly when it comes to this concern about intellectual property theft but this is something that

the vice president said the trumpet ministration is not willing to yield on that they will stand firm and as a result he took a very sharp aim not just with respect to economic policies but also pointed a finger at china when it comes to not respecting in the eyes of the united states the values of human rights and democracy pointing the finger at some of the concerning behaviors that are taken place in hong kong and standing up with the protesters saying that the united states will always back peaceful protests in the right to to express freedom and democracy so these are some of the themes in the values it appears that this administration in the words of the vice president is is standing firm and well this could put at risk the clinching that important trade deal that the u.s. president wants so badly hoping for a partial ceiling of the deal to take place next month they are also not yielding in terms of the values that they are trying to put forward can be healthy joining us live there from washington d.c. thank you can you. in the united states an entire town has been evacuated in

is highlighting the international struggle to combat people smuggling police in the u.k. are investigating how 39 people from china died in the back of a truck it's believed they were taken through bulgaria and belgium rights groups warn such cases are likely to increase as european countries tighten their immigration rules will bring in gas in just a moment but 1st this report by cadillac. security camera footage shows the truck driving past a storage facility in essex in england after arriving from belgium early on wednesday morning less than an hour later paramedics and police make a grim discovery inside the bodies of 39 chinese nationals this matter has attracted national and international interest and it's absolutely imperative that the operation is conducted with the utmost respect for the 39 people who have lost their lives a 25 year old driver has been arrested on suspicion of murder it's believed he

drove the front part of the truck from northern ireland to pick up the container which is registered in bulgaria to an irish woman piece of raided 3 properties in northern ireland they believe a link to the case british prime minister bars johnson promised to bring those responsible to justice this is an unimaginable tragedy and truly heartbreaking i know that the thoughts and prayers of all members are with those who lost their lives and their loved ones belgium's federal prosecutor has opened its own investigation after the contain a pass through the belgian port of the group or britain has warned the country it could become a new frontier for people smuggling although scanners have been installed to detect people officials at the harbor admit there's little they can do to stop them. the case echoes the deaths the 58 chinese nationals who suffocated in a sealed container in dover in 2000 britain's national crime agency reported nearly 7000 potential victims of human trafficking and modern slavery last year up by 36

percent from 2017. rights groups say people smuggling is becoming increasingly lucrative in europe and they warn what happened in essex may not be the last carry leg for inside story let's take a closer look at other trade in human trafficking nearly 172 countries are part of a chain that exploits and in slaves more than 40000000 people a year for every 10000 people in the world nearly 54 are victims of modern slavery with a quarter being children and it's a big business for the traffickers the world economic forum as to mace it's worth $150000000000.00 globally. now over to our panel in brussels joining us on sky julia garner and he'll migration and asylum policy analyst of the open society european policy

institute in london lucy a senior analyst of the global initiative against transnational organized crime in belgrade also on skype yelena hernia a program manager at ina an organization working alongside of a social protection system in serbia to protect victims of human trafficking welcome to you or julia when you have 39 people found dead in a container clearly there's something completely wrong with the checks here they said they get me wrong with the checks that's for sure but there's also something completely wrong with the system that produced the tragedy and i mean it's very heartening to hear that the prime minister has. cracked down on the people smugglers and traffickers responsible for those deaths and has also. brought some plant prayers to victims' families. but the problem here is as you mentioned in the introduction that it is getting increasingly dangerous all migrants refugees and

other disgrace well can reach europe and despite the fact that the. people are needed and not by the economy in europe there are very few legal ways for them to reach the countries where their labor will then be used and that is why a lot of people are. seeking migrants to. enter the european. and other countries more broadly so i think the problem isn't just checks on the various routes but. we need dangerous precisely because of the checks i mean the reason we're now seeing the group emerging is that as a trend in route from the mainland to europe a person is because of the crackdown and come and go. and i think we need to get real about that that's. fine the ways and be able to be used but without suffering 8 of that 9 people who are listening the fact that the train ride by

a ferry from belgium puts calls it a question of security procedures of force i i can only echo in this that have which is yes the security procedures clearly didn't detect this however given the volume of freight containers and other vehicles trying crossing these borders it is extremely difficult for them to identify every single age content of the cargo and actually we should be taking a more macro perspective and looking at why more and more people are being forced to take these routes and it is because as already noted safe and legal routes are shrinking. you know you've been working to protect victims of human trafficking from your own perspective what do you think went wrong here and the 1st thing that is wrong is that we are speaking about the issue when the things happen like the

thing that happened that people died it's wrong to just think about it when you know like bad things already happen. as you know this is not the 1st time in you know pm and union we had several of cases the similar cases would also huge numbers of people in the that either suffocate or died during and to to cross the border certain things should be done 1st of all the interests of smugglers and particular state got governmental governments shouldn't be the same you know like it seems like all the governments wants just to see migrants out of the country and not so many of them. are having some like. or of actions to. actually like stop stop the smuggling in the sense also to change their point of

policies and to make life easier or for people. as you know like we testified to a huge migrant crisis that began in 2050 and we're also we testified to the closure of balkan routes but still people are coming and people are finding their ways how to cross the border and how to get to ian julia how does what is baffling to me at least i mean this is happening in europe not in sub-saharan africa and then you would assume that when a trailer is loaded into a boat policeman or custom officers should be pretty much involved to ensure what is happening inside that trailer instead of just ensuring whether there is a seal in the back of the trailer. so. but as far as there how do you go from it does national institute programs crime mentioned i mean it's impossible for border guards to control every single piece of freight moving across the european union

any we're talking you know tens of millions every day. so what we should have is a system in place which ensures that if there is a demand the migrant labor incessant back of the economy in certain countries there is a means and a way to these people. and we don't have that in the majority in european countries the problem with just focusing on the law enforcement angle is that reinforces a there is a problem with this comprise marriot nixon mises the migrants and migrants act up the room will they decide to move and they don't keep them on because they. are better opportunity and then it also generally the crackdown gets the lowest ratings and pain but not the king running that works. and then finally it often these 2 you know gross judicial practice in italy it's quite routine prosecutors to arrest the so-called traffickers on. migrant boats but we don't

normally they're not actually traffickers they're actually the my god who at that moment when they were arrested happened to be holding the killer though there's a whole series of problems with that approach and that's why i said we need to more which cards in naples migrate with us but also read it needs. i see a point to say we're putting some emphasis here all the checks for the reason that people are saying for example that if the clamp down of the cali dover is working 'd white on those procedures replicated elsewhere a key least to ensure that with protect the victims the migrants. well to date to the the focus of european approaches here has been on border control and that isn't working because it doesn't stop movements it just displaces it as we're seeing here and the roots will continue to fragment to move away from groups that have been closed off and actually increases the protection risks for

for the migrants and the refugees and we see more and more tragedies like this so. of course cause for greater border checks are understandable but those calls have been repeated isn't yes' and they are not working we need a different approach. yelena your country has been described as a source transit and destination country for children women trafficked for sex sure they were exploitation do you think that with focused for many years on migrants and we suddenly forgot the root issue here is the need to figure out how to deal with organized crime guns. yes i think that the focus of the authorities should be the perpetrators at the 1st and then they should take care of of the migrants also have to emphasize the part of going to resume when it comes to the smuggling and

really have to emphasize that because when you're speaking with migrants they would say to you yes you know i gave my consent to or i don't know go to the to that place or that place but no where they gave the consent you know to or. to me to end up in you know like some lorry or 2 or 2 you know such a tragic tragic wage so we have to make a really clear distinctions between you know on what migrants are giving their consent and what not also when we are interviewing them they say that they were arest by smugglers to do certain things so your shin to commit a criminal activities is a human trafficking for itself so this is something that we really need to be careful about when we're discussing this issue here point you know when people are in a really hard position it's really easy actually talk wears them to to commit a criminal i'd like to see

a point that concerned itself is something which is abuse by the criminals because they take advantage of the disperses way so those who migrate there. any yeah they're for example many minors like under aged children that cannot be legally responsible for that and you know smugglers they know that and they use their difficult position so we can say that the children are dogs that they did something they were courtiers to do certain criminal activities just so i think it has to be really clear when it comes to the issues of explaining what is going on on the ground. and regarding your questions yes or be at ease the country also of transit and the country of source and destination for some of the some of the weak thems. like predominantly the serbian citizens are the ones who are exploited half of them are exploited mostly e.u.

countries and half of them in here in serbia mostly they are children mostly they're women they're also trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation for the purpose of labor exploitation also we our system encountered several cases are for girls being forced to marry in some of the e.u. countries also or we encountered several of where sions side there to beg either to commit some criminal act these are we're talking about a thriving criminal activity or jerk julia is this inevitable even when you have robust checks at the border countries erecting more fences and all this by a growing sentiment which has been exploited by populists in in the european continent . i mean i think it's inevitable as a consequence precisely of those actions and that rhetoric. i mean the european union for the last 3 or 4 years has made its mission you know closing the borders

to irregular migrants and call backing people smuggling and trafficking but the end result has been as you pointed out more fences and borders and you know the outsourcing of migration controls to the bike there may be a militia. who were previously smugglers but are now intercept as it's better to stop the migrants from arriving in europe so i think what we really need to focus on i think that's being echoed by a lot of can follow on this power and something completely different which is of course we need border controls and we need a sport as everyone including people crossing them to speak texan but we also need to look at the demand for that abuse. and that exploitation what is creating that demand and how we can address the system that at the moment is an imminent it's not enough to crack down on the gang mosque in the city you have to really look at why farmers are having to see of course to exploited undeclared

undocumented migrants because the system is actually the way it is the agricultural system the europe does not have the kind of protections and labor standards that it should. the needs to be a new approach but then we've talked to governments in europe about the need to clamp down on human trafficking and you as people smuggling they would do it talk about all the logistical difficulties language barriers political dynamics in different parts of the well the corruption that is prevailing in many parts of the world as obstacles that prevent a comprehensive united coordinated approach to deal with this issue. so i would i think there are 2 points here firstly i'd like to take the opportunity to distinguish between human smuggling and human trafficking i think it's very important that we recognize that these are 2 distinct crimes under international law although they are far too often ally did so with human smuggling there is

consent for the movement although as noted before there may not be consent for the abuse that comes afterwards the movement is cross border and the intent of the smuggler is material of financial gain with trafficking you either don't have any concern or the concern is rendered irrelevant because of coercion or deception it doesn't have to be cross border movement a lot of trafficking happens within one country and the intent of the perpetrator is exploitation so forced labor or sexual exploitation and general and it's very important to distinguish between them because at the heart of human smuggling is the desire of people to move and if there are no legal and safe avenues for movement and states aren't making this more and more difficult you aren't growing the market for the services the smugglers provide and then separately we have trafficking and in the context of trafficking states right there are lots of

obstacles here to proper investigation but i think one thing that we need to emphasize particularly in the context of forced labor is the role of the private sector previously this is been a government led response the government has been the one that supposed to monitor employment laws and a lack of capacity to do so means it is de facto been unmonitored more recently we've recognized the there is a significant role for the private sector to play in monitoring their own supply chains and we're seeing a growth in the legal obligations that are placed on the private sector. so the u.k. in 2050 brought up on slavery act with his groundbreaking together with the californian act that only slightly preceded in requiring that the private sector look at it says chains and start to monitor this so yes there are problems the government can do more but actually this is not going to end well without the help of the

private sector the good thing is that the private sector are being compelled to take a more active role and we are seeing more initiatives from the private sector in fighting traffic you talking about the need for the private sector to step in yelena. you work in the. and you see the investigators now in the u.k. are trying to combine the dots because they're talking about the trade or originated in bulgaria then shipped all the way to belgium before its final destination so we're talking about the potential for this to be pretty much well coordinated by criminal activity from your own perspective from your own experience but do you think that should be done immediately now to raise international awareness about the need to stop and those tragedies and there has to be clear cooperation between the governments it's not easy in this case all of the states there like e.u.

. you countries it's been a difficult difficulty for serbia because we're still in session face also to you know also talk or we don't. do to exchange more information between. the governments and the police who are in separate countries because you know then they will have more time if they are following up certain cases maybe date you know like they can recover they can't recognize them well being by. area but then you know they have time until they reach some other this an asian country usually what we see is that this process processes are repeating so you know like when you're looking at interpol reports or stats report you can see that there are certain organized groups that you know like are dealing with with these

kind of issues some of them sure you know like to have more exchange between the countries of what you know to see on the board there is another julia been we're talking about the desperate journey for those people particularly comes to people smuggling to reach europe you know the european countries have been scrambling to put together or to agree on migration reforms that didn't happen and the u.k. is planning to cross out of the you don't you see the countries themselves are responsible in a way or another for the tragedies that are happening. in some way yes of course i mean as i mentioned before you know the result of this. attempts to keep people out is inevitably tragedy and we see that not just recently yesterday but or costs that use external borders and are meant to rein in along the socal goal can route in france is on the border with bows no there is a systematic violence perpetrated against refugees the migrants trying to get in

though in a way this is of course a consequence of policy choices and also policy choice as you mentioned yes the lack of agreement on the woman that has has paralyzed the system so the solist ball is cracked down on people and as this you rightly pointed out we really have to distinguish modern trafficking right to thank and. irregularly but not exploited at. the destination and they then get exploited when the because there are not the public ok to. limit it to a point when you talk about the need to involve new actors in the global fight against organized crime but then ultimately we're talking about. a massive international crime industry that generates billions of dollars a year so even the potential to raise international when this if it's not combined

with other vobis approached by many many countries globally we will not be able to defeat them. of course and you're right this is a very lucrative business and some of the organized crime groups involved in human trafficking are extremely sophisticated and well organized and well able to evade law enforcement in many cases so global cooperation is definitely required however we have to bear in mind that of all those that are trafficked globally a really large proportion are in force labor and over 20000000 of us are working in the context of the private sector and the private sector has global supply chains so for example a company incorporated in the u.k. might have supply chains stretch across the developed and the developing world and precisely because these groups are extremely sophisticated and have vast resources

at their fingertips it's not enough to suggest that law enforcement do more the private sector also has to step up and it has the power to do so because of the reach of its own supply chains i'd also briefly like to comment upon your question earlier about whether it's e.u. state policies that are causing this and just note that i found it very interesting that in the summer of this year there was a case actually brought against the e.u. in the international criminal court for some of the faith teletubbies on the mediterranean crossing so it is clear that many are holding the e.u. and individual member states accountable thank you of course it will have to leave it there. julia gunna yelena thank you very much indeed for your contribution to the program. thank you you can see the program again and it's on by visiting our website. discussing go to our facebook page facebook dot com.

robert horry is a senior public policy fellow at the american university of beirut and he says the movement has highlighted lebanon's extreme inequality. it's really become a class confrontation the majority of lebanese as the majority of all arabs are poor marginalized vulnerable and increasingly alienated from their system not just their government system but their social systems and their country and about 3040 percent regularly say they want to emigrate they want to leave because the oligarchic sectarian political elite that holds power at the top refuses to budge and and they they fear that the. prime minister's offer and the president's speech only confirm that that they just want to keep doing the same old stuff let's have a dialogue let's have talk and the people on the street are saying we don't trust you we don't believe you you have 30 years to do this you've only won the country

into the ground you've destroyed the environment you've wrecked our economic future so it's a very serious confrontation but a peaceful one and a political one. kurdish forces have been withdrawing from positions along the turkish border in northern syria that's part of an agreement between turkey and russia allowing moscow and damascus to send in troops and the territory but as the pull back takes place some side the fighting hasn't stopped asama bin javac has more from near the turkish syrian border. it's the 3rd explosion in less than 24 hours in northern syria and early morning. shows the dangerous the district is now under the control of fighters who took it from a goodish forces it's part of the 30 kilometer safe zone which turkey wants to establish on the border it shares with syria the syrian national army a group of fighters backed by turkey say there would have been more casualties if the blast had happened during rush hour so. the car exploded and we had

a lot of. them to the hospital the area here is for civilians there are shops here and are working very. dirty says it's defused hundreds of homemade bombs and mines in the areas of cleared and its military denies allegations by kurdish fighters of advancing in 3 villages outside the ceasefire zone kurdish forces have asked western allies including the u.s. to stop what they called the ceasefire violations in a change in the kurds military commander for the russian and u.s. presidents and assured them of support despite the fact that the 2 governments are on opposing sides of the syrian conflict. and as u.s. senators reiterated their support for the kurdish commander the turkish president has warned against what he called sitting down but terrorists. who are also criticize nato allies for not standing with him against a group the alliance itself recognizes as a terrorist organization sharing little miss currently in the syrian national army

a coming every inch of the control and clearing traps but if they can. across any terrorists in the syria it is our natural right to crush them it is so in right. under the deal reached between russia and turkey russian troops have been patrolling more areas in the northeast moscow is sending hundreds of more troops to police the new territory it's taken on behalf of the assad government russia's defense ministry says it will be establishing 15 security posts along the border which will be run by syrian government forces as the clock ticks down on the 60 hiatus between turkey and russia what controls have warned kurdish fighters to be drug within 30 kilometers inside syrian territory moscow says the drawl has already begun and as battle lines become drawn and redrawn millions of syrians hold their breath as arabs and kurds they are waiting for peace to come to the various so they can return home some of the job the other day or

a chocolate on the turkey syria border. british prime minister boris johnson says he will table a motion in parliament on monday for a snap general election he added that if m.p.'s backed the motion it would give them plenty of time to debate his brakes a deal for more let's cross to london now to merriam in the team in our european broadcast center that's right stan bars johnson is saying that he expects the european union to agree to a 3 month breaks it delay on friday he's urging the opposition labor party to back his election bed as he needs their support to hold the poll but labor has previously insisted it will not vote for a general election until a no deal bracks it has been taken off the table johnson says if labor agrees to the election then the government will try to get it still through before parliament is then dissolved for the campaign the way to get breaks it done is i think to be reasonable with parliament and see if they genuinely want more time to study

this excellent the oh they can have it but they have to agree to a general election on december the 12th. algis there is as been following the story and joins us now just explain to us 1st me why the country needs a general election at this point we knew it was coming and now boris johnson has said december is the time very simply we're stuck boris johnson knows very much that he's boxed in that the government has blocked it boxed in m.p.'s last month forced boris johnson in the form of a man meant to seek an extension from the european union they're expected to come back on friday and say exactly how long that extension will be we know the germans of the irish want to be as long as january the 31st of the government's terrified about the prospect of it breaks it deal being de railed in the form of multiple amendments being introduced by opposition m.p.'s those amendments could be anything form forcing a 2nd referendum to changes to the customs arrangements but essentially deforming

a deal that boris johnson's already with the e.u. and that a deal that seems to be getting traction in parliament as well secondly of course everything ticks all wrong johnson's $45.00 m.p.'s $45.00 votes short of a majority it feels that if he has an election he can reconfigure the situation get a comfortable way and have a significant majority in parliament to be able to punish his breakfast deal come to be in the future but it is a gamble because of course there are those watching this who are fed up with the whole breadth of process euro skeptics that may well decide to vote in protests for the newly formed bricks of party who are looking to capitalize on precisely this a general election is going to table the motion of a general election but is he going to get the support he needs to get it to print the question once again and getting it 2 different things all together he has to have 2 thirds of m.p.'s in parliament support to be able to have this general election and the motion will go before the house on monday this would be the 3rd time that this has happened it's been voted down twice in the past we know that

there's an all another way of possibly doing that would be a very unusual way by getting the conservative party to back a no confidence vote in its own government essentially goading the opposition to black. that vote if that doesn't happen he could force the members to the law making it down to a simple majority as opposed to a 2 thirds majority in parliament to allow the election to happen but that comes with risks if he forces that amendment to the law opposition parties could then force other members allowing 16 and 17 year olds to vote or even enfranchising 2000000 a year nationals allowing them to vote if we really risky business for the prime minister but clearly judging by his comments that he's pretty confident never a dull day thank you very much and. well the other so.
