5:16 pm
law enforcement arm of the government so we need a facility and a rescued anyone could come in the government could implement the laws but then we need to keep looking at the broader picture. how can we stop the killing in the head because to clean. that seems a near impossible task considering the pressure from porters and land grabbers. and the laws aren't a deterrent understood leone's $972.00 wildlife act the fine for killing a chimpanzee is less than a dollar and a moment porches and hunters can afford their court $96.00 of the estimated 5 and half hours and western campuses in sierra leone live in this century the rest in the wild at the mercy of porters promise loggers as well as other human activities such as gold and diamond mining a few months ago the government of sarah leone declared this and then that

subspecies of chimpanzee as a national animal in an effort to protect it and boost tourism but because of a single say unless they give the money to protect these primates they won't be around for much longer. the mounting cost of peta in the chimps is a concern for century that's barely staying afloat. one and a half $1000.00 is needed and yet just to be the chimpanzee. to come that. it's very difficult at the moment. this is something. i think yes it's a little bit more resources we can do a lot more and that is probably the major lustration. so operators of the center have opened its doors to chorused who bring in a little money to help run it. the rangers who patrol the sanctuary and are armed this time no charge against

5:21 pm
demonstrations that are now into the 12th day on sunday tens of thousands of people formed a human chain that stretched across the length of the country as anger over economic mismanagement and corruption up next up from. the prime minister. is to the british on the 31st of october and leave this country the greatest place on. departure to follow the drama of bricks it on al-jazeera with another brick deadline about to pass and the deal still not done is democracy in britain being undermined that's this week's debate with former u.k. minister david lammy and economist liam halligan and could bring a return to violence in northern ireland i'll ask a former member of the ira turned member of the european parliament welcome back to a new season of up front.
5:22 pm
david lammy and liam halligan thank you both for joining me on outfront to debate what seems to be the only issue in british politics right now breaks it i want to start with you you're a supporter of brics it in terms of where we are this week another break that deadline has come and gone another promise has been broken prime minister boris johnson said last month that he would rather quote be dead in a ditch than ask for another break that delay but he's had to ask for one so does he have a ditch picked out do you think. yeah used to some quite colorful language i think 2 important things have changed mehdi and it's nice to be here what we've seen this week is we've seen the house of commons finally finally actually pass in principle
5:23 pm
a piece of legislation allowing through withdrawal agreement that's something that he's got in his back pocket the 2nd thing is the orus johnson has been keen to show the electorate leave us and remain as that he's been trying desperately to buy that . deadline of the 31st of october hallowing deadline. and it's only in his narrative the house of commons that stopping him in particular the opposition parties led by the labor party so in some senses the high jinx the game playing is still ongoing and how and i think winners see a lot more of that but something really important happened this week when we saw the house of commons as a whole backing a major piece of legislation that hasn't happened that's true is the referendum in june 26th they give it all the votes he has lost given the mess over his illegal suspension of parliament given now this latest mr brooks it deadline what do you
5:24 pm
say to people who say boris johnson should now resign as his true conservative predecessor through the man david cameron did so and breaks it well i think that's what a lot of his political opponents. but he is riding pretty high in the opinion polls he's got a 1015 even 20 percentage point lead over his nearest rivals if there is a general election that's not to say this is isn't a divided country it's absolutely more divided i think david nial agree than in any time during our our lifetimes we're all ins in similar years. but it has to be said as the opinion polls show. as he's pushed more and more as he's driven this narrative deliberately its name is a remaining political and media establishment trying to get. his popularity has gone up ok david lammy you've actually called on boris johnson to resign what do you say to liam when he says well hold on he's actually doing very well in the
5:25 pm
polls despite all this chaos look i've been in politics 20 years and i know that polls go up they come down and different polls tell you different things and frankly i'm not interested in a politics that's decided by the polls this is a very very worrying prime minister he's taking quite a lot out of the trouble rulebook he's tearing up our constitutional arrangements trying to suspend and shut down debate in parliament and frankly on any analysis the decision that lies ahead of britain is a hugely significant one boris johnson wants to get this all done in a couple of days basically he's not taking it seriously and the reason he's not taking it seriously is because he as he doesn't want the withdrawal bill and the basis on which he wants to leave the european union properly scrutinised and i wouldn't if i were him either but me david is a member of those frankly david isn't it it's we've got with the european union
5:26 pm
isn't the problem though that you're obviously staunchly and you don't want to break any kind when you talk about scrutiny and parliamentary procedure and parliamentary sovereignty and the suspension of part of that's all well and good but most people know deep down what you really want if you don't want bracks it why don't just oh now why hide behind all these others want to say look we're trying to stop breaks it by any means possible why not just say that look that's a fair point and i'm very clear i think the best arrangement for this country is to remain within the european union but i respect that across my party there's a range of opinion and a range of opinion in the country what i would say. is the best way to bring this country back together is yes to allow the deal that boris johnson has now struck and this withdraw withdrawal agreement that he's put before parliament allow the british people to say do they like it or do they want to remain within the european union he won't do that because he's afraid that the british people will
5:27 pm
say thank you very much now we've seen that you want to dismantle our workers' rights you want to a bad an environmental protections you want to have the minimal free trade agreement with the european union and that would mean tariffs now on our manufacturing on so many goods and services now we've seen this in detail and the problems we've got in the island of ireland on that basis we want to remain that's why doesn't want to do it and yeah i'm clear we should remain within the european union but i want the british people to ultimately make that decision many let me just say that if they do decide to stay i'll go with it do you agree with david there that there is a very real risk even you as a bracks that must accept given you look at the polls that suggest the british public are not change their mind they want to stay in the e.u. and that's what would happen if you had another referendum people would change their minds now i don't that's right i agree with david we can take the polls with a pinch of salt suffice to say that. the polls now show
5:28 pm
a majority of people wanting to leave the european union and they show need of the referendum when of course they voted to leave the european union the real issue i have with this and i do respect where dave is coming from he has been a lot more honest than a lot of other people in his party he said almost from the outset a couple of days after the referendum i seem to think that we need a 2nd referendum that he was completely opposed at least he's being straight a lot of other people have been hiding behind procedure i have a major problem i'm afraid call me old fashioned with the idea of not implementing a referendum when parliament has sanctioned the referendum and given that. for the british people back in early twenty's 16 parliament voted by a 6 to one to give this decision to the british people or services vested in the people via parliament not in parliament itself and i think it's a major concern if we don't implement that decision and awful lot of people outside
5:29 pm
the south east london the westminster in the media bubble would be absolutely shocked indeed around the world if britain the mother of democracies if you like on some definitions didn't actually implement a referendum decision david deal with the big picture issue here which is if you are successful in stopping bracks if you will have undermined the result of a democratic referendum that you and your party signed up to in 2016 whatever you think about the rights and wrongs of practice that one massive impact on british democracy and faith in british democracy will it not matter a no one can tell me a country that has ever undermine democracy with more democracy that is why you can have a general election and you have another general election in 4 years time and let's be clear if we did have a 2nd referendum it would have been in about 4 years time that's the interval of a general election cycle let's also be clear this was
5:30 pm
a referendum that was meant to be in an advisory referendum that was the basis on which parliament set it up i give it some advice what you think but it was really because different parts of the united kingdom had different views and we're ignoring currently the views of scotland and the views of northern ireland particularly and it was also a referendum in which actually relatively it was pretty close lots of people who voted to leave are now no longer with us and many young people were disenfranchised and many brits who live in the european union and abroad who are. deeply concerned with our relationship with you we're not permitted to vote and i'm afraid we know now that the vote these campaigns broke the law in several places and there was a lot of misinformation so all the many many mature democracies like ireland or portugal they made the point really run referendum campaigns where people got it
5:31 pm
wrong how could it be undemocratic to ask the people to vote again you're not overruling the people you're asking them have you change your mind it's 3 years later there's been a lot of chaos since why not get another opinion. firstly it was the idea that it was advisories is frankly risible david the government of the day wrote so every single british house all $27000000.00 households and said that as we go to the station some which were the heart of the government the fact that david talent all that out in my through my not my problem is if i can if i can speak if i can speak so let me finish and as we have a general election and then yes you don't have another general election 4 or 5 years later that's because it's a general election it's not a one off referendum that's been sanctioned by parliament they imagine if you had a general election and then you spent 4 years not changing the government you just didn't implement say that's the danger of not implementing something and then asking people to vote again on the same decision with remain on the ballot paper
5:32 pm
which of course is what david wants he can say it's nonsense but it's showed if you put remain on the ballot paper again when that decision has already been made and not implemented because frankly a bunch of the media implicitly believe me or to get out of the political economist to live your economist you know very well john maynard keynes once said when the facts train i change my mind what do you do lots of facts of trains and 26 say why can't people trains their mind i don't quite get it may in fact the changes that the british economy's carried on pretty well despite project fear by whitehall and a lot of westminster saying that the colony will collapse just on the strength of votes in for the referendum what we've really seen i think and this is this is sad for me i must say for what what we've really seen is the extent to which are lots of our establishment distain ordinary voters you all to think you will misled you've made the wrong decision we're going to make you vote again until you make
5:33 pm
a right save it it's your responses up or lot of people in david's well i mean see what are your thoughts many can i fit into. a little david cummock and david your disk you're showing distain for the electorate we've. this terrible elite has gripped the conservative party but it's taken them to the hard right that inflames immigration rhetoric and rhetoric around muslims black people a leader that's been very very racist and rude we've also got these public schoolboys they've been eaten and heroin very posh schools who now claim to speak on behalf of working class people i represent the working class area i don't recognise what i'm hearing and on the government's own figures this particular deal that paris is putting before i would see a drop in g.d.p. of 6.7 percent that is not contested and it is bigger than we saw in the 2008
5:34 pm
crash and they will be doing that to working class areas they're not going to suffer the super rich will get wealthier and the middle.
