4:02 pm
a letter of formal notice as it's called has been sent to the british government which has a month to respond now it could eventually lead to a case in the european court of justice the disagreement centers around a bill in the british parliament which would violate international law if it's passed it could ignore trade rules involving northern ireland bragg's it is expected to be one of the topics that leaders from the bloc discuss during a summit that's taking place in brussels now we're going to be speaking to dominic kane in berlin in a few moments 1st the reaction out of the u.k. paul brennan is live for us in london poll they bragg's it secretary in the u.k. michael gove has essentially been saying this morning that it is business as usual that talks are going on but clearly this is going to put the u.k. under edition old pressure particularly when it comes to those negotiations. i mean there are 2 aspects to this it does certainly emphasize not the bad blood but certainly the sour atmosphere in those talks i have to say there are some
4:03 pm
rumors that the differences between the 2 sides are actually now rowing and we'll probably hear a bit more from michel barnier when he briefs the e.u. tomorrow but that said the backdrop of all this the announcement from live on the land this morning frankly was the natural progression of wheels that began turning weeks ago the british government's decision to bring forward this internal markets bill with these controversial clauses in its which even the british government admits would break international law albeit it says in a limited and specific way really has caused consternation internationally particularly for the european union at this crucial stage in these trade talks the british government has reacted by saying they will respond in jus cos of course as you mentioned they have a month to respond on the other aspect is well as well as if the free trade agreement actually comes to pass if they do come to an agreement then basically the threat of legal action in the european court of justice would essentially fall away
4:04 pm
it would become relevant because the free trade agreement would resolve those issues that said that it really does emphasize the pressure that both sides are under to come to an agreement as time gets very very short boris johnson that sets a deadline of the 15th of october for sure they do a deal or walk away european union looking at sort of early to mid november possibly that that a deal could be done up until that the atmosphere is not great and this really does emphasize that well thanks very much that's paul brennan talking to us from london i want to speak now to dominate cain who's in berlin for us dominic the statement from us of sort of on the lane this morning was very short very terse very fact to all but she also took no questions at the end of it it was a very simple straightforward statement. a very simple straightforward statement and a very clear message to the united kingdom government which is that the european
4:05 pm
union institutions the people who preside over those institutions and indeed many european union governments really don't believe that the u.k. government is acting in good faith that's directly what mrs fonda lyon had to say behind all of this is the knowledge that the e.u. is acting as a bloc 27 countries that as well as the as much as they are sad to see the united kingdom go they have to operate still in a competitive environment around the world and they operate as $27.00 but specifically they operate in the interests of the route the government of the republic of ireland and we know that the irish prime minister mr marson has to talk about this inside the meetings taking place today in apps tomorrow but that the will of the irish people is effectively being put across by the e.u. institutions they really don't believe that mr johnson and his government that's
4:06 pm
boris johnson the british prime minister acting in good faith and their only recourse now is through the courts but the question would be what the european court of justice to which paul was referring just a moment or so ago what it could really do in these circumstances if the u.k. is determined to go its own way. tony thank you very much indeed that's dominic kane talking to us from well joining us from the hague is your us logic he's an assistant professor of e.u. and international law at leiden university and has published several works on brags that and it's legal ramifications good to have you with us sir thank you very much indeed for being with us on our does it or just if you will and i understand that this is a very very complex subject but if you could just briefly explain to us why the u.k. thinks it's ok to break international law. well you'd have to ask the british or government for that because they're normally that's not something states
4:07 pm
are supposed to do certainly not states you know which are illegal seizures with an enemy trading partner the european union and states that have just concluded an international agreement of those all agreement including to the northern ireland protocol that are sold in that sense. it's hard to say why they think that's a very good idea now it's very part of the old political negotiating game but we see now the response from the e.u. really being taken that the read the legal route. to start taking the u.k. to cos that's already a sign that you know that's that's not we're just supposed to do what kind of panel takes could the u.k. face if this ultimately goes to a judgment. but what's striking about this is that you said international law but the way the u.k. is being treated now is exactly like any existing you member state would be treated in the u.k. has left the european union and that's thanks to the floor agreement and the transition period sort of yeah it's just the regular proceedings that apply to your
4:08 pm
circle inferential proceedings by which case be taken to court the still several steps that would need to be taken to sue me for a moment the european commission would win and has a chance for the u.k. to adjust the situation be in compliance again if they don't do that then it's a finds that the european court of justice could impose there are wider considerations here are there because the u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi has already said that if you hope to get this right any move to undermine the 1998 irish peace agreement would ensure that a potential u.s. u.k. trade deal wouldn't get passed the u.s. congress so the impact of this decision isn't just restricted to the e.u. and to the u.k. this has much wider implications doesn't it. you know this is just is really a cheap point so that monetary fines in the bigger picture might not seem like a very harsh penalty for our i think tremendous political cost to be paid here and
4:09 pm
i'm glad you brought up the example of the a good friday agreement concerning a peace in ireland and also other states involvement in that analysis forget also the crucial role that the united states played in brokering that agreement so it's just this whole story where you have the u.k. even next senior ministers and politicians julie stating that they are violating international law that's already there all the julie of this to me that bleat about it and it doesn't make the u.k. look very good as a as a party both for that you all for the us or for really any of the many countries with which the u.k. is currently also hoping to strike trade a novel it remains really good to get your thoughts on this your digs got us a lot of we appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed thank you the presidents of france russia and the u.s. have come together to call for an immediate end to fighting over nagorno-karabakh within the past hour they've issued
4:10 pm
a joint statement deploring the loss of life in the disputed region and asking the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan to resume talks without delay both sides have rejected calls for negotiations saying now is not the time to talk there's every president says his forces will keep fighting until a 1000000 troops leave the region the breakaway region is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but it's controlled by armenian forces and its methods the latest from in armenia. well ace we're hearing from the armenian side is that their defense ministry says they shot down an israeli and as ery helicopter crashed into iranian territory the armenians say there was no intention against the iranians there but that's where the helicopter crashed otherwise they say overnight it has actually been quiet in the going to care about fighting started as we know on sunday but in the main part of the core a parked car back it was a stance of belief the one of the quiet and nice they've had since last sunday
4:11 pm
there have been attempts at a cease fire that have been called should we say from the european union from france from russia for a ceasefire but let me tell you what the prime minister of armenia has said this morning nicol and he says he says repeated that turkey has brought in foreign mercenaries from syria to fight alongside the azeri forces turkey of course denies that but then he's added today that the front line in the gorno karabakh has become a clash of civilizations and a battle of survival that is really i guess a ratcheting up of the rhetoric from the armenian prime minister not an indication from somebody who's immediately looking to sit down and talk and of course armenia is looking for friends azerbaijan now and count on the support of turkey turkey's over back as a by john armenia in saying this sort of thing is looking for international support because the prime minister says this is equally threatens the u.s.
4:12 pm
iran russia and france that is what i mean as prime minister is doing looking for support. you know here let's go to sit in kosovo who's live for us and the other bodies on capitol back who said and just give us an update about what you're hearing. about the fighting and the diplomatic situation. well this the fighting is very intense in the notice of gore in a car bomb and also in down to the south where the facility district is and in buckie everybody is saying that they are not stepping back because they are actually protecting their own lands from what they call occupiers and i have. with me he's the vice chairman of the organization for security and cooperation in europe he's in the parliamentary assembly thank you for being with us i would like to ask you whether international efforts from us are big john as international
4:13 pm
platforms are calling for a cease fire both of us are based on an airman yeah thank you for having me. international call forces for is acceptable in terms of implementing the 4 resolutions for the. conflict as you know that u.s. security council resolutions have been adopted in 1900 trees that demand from our binya to be true it is military and i quote force approach all the eco areas of azerbaijan without any condition this is why this is a right for him to the ship community of dance war to make sure that i mean your interest is full resolution on fortunately armenia ignored so far and they didn't implement in the demands coming for me to an issue community this is 1st 2nd as you know that the musical co-chairs is dealing with the conflict so shouldn't try to
4:14 pm
mediate the issue what the unfortunate need. churches and other international stakeholders were able to convene this and that to push the remaining $23.00 it is military forces from these areas and they had an offer to armenia death at the 1st stage to liberate video road. this new terror cell phone the 7 sounding region of azerbaijan that is under the hood for about 30 years which doesn't have any income and in the region of azerbaijan that is unfortunately armenian prime minister but union deliberately undermined the peace talks for the last 2 years put you both unacceptable conditions firstly i mean the prime minister is told that the curve is are we in the air and full stop he just totally undermines the negotiation as well as contradicts to the he did this breach of the peace talks 2nd prime minister
4:15 pm
armenia tries to involve as a tort party which is also on the to me and i would like to interrupt you here please my apologies i would like to ask you you're in the parliamentary assembly of the oh i see so are you. what are the member states telling time in your because you are saying that our mania is undermining this international talks then what are they saying to armenia international organization including the parliamentary assembly of the or you c.p.a. . very clearly underlined that territory until it is sorted into and the internationally recognized borders of azerbaijan must be restored there is no question they have sent several times you know to me and that you have to be in line with these demands because it is the international legal norms it is its initial went very low also. called on their mean yet to be constructive in the negotiation process as. you know constructive in the negotiation forward in the
4:16 pm
negotiation talks but so far in these negotiations you can bring in the result if there is is and are going to commute to be a and the other organizations are really. now is calling on their mean to you know that detroit is bitter for some from the eco pretensions of which it is not done. and just in one sentence do you think diplomacy is going to resolve this that some conflict just 11 sentence place unfortunately. if you could because as you know are we deliberately targeting civilians over there we're just civilians and they're killing the people in the area and diplomacy or international diplomacy should understand one thing that the military clashes meter over issues are going in there to 2 of us which as a wedge and doesn't at the in the include armenia if the international community and the diplomacy would be enough feared to add to this issue as you choose and
4:17 pm
coalmine get to talk against as a wedge and then it could be useful and you could look i while it seems international platforms are not are not promising a ceasefire or mediation between the 2 neighboring countries nowadays but of course we will be seeing whether this problem is going to be sold in the battlefield or on a diplomat's the table so thanks very much that's an impossible in life for us in baku the capital of as a by john. plenty more ahead on the news hour including hopes are fading for government bailouts to those that could save $32000.00 airline jobs in the u.s. as a protection order expires. well then die in the explosion and now they're killing us. losing hope people living in lebanon say there is no solution for the country's financial meltdown. and last month's us open runner up which is the french open

face the same risks and are schapelle al-jazeera. well the organization that monitors the u.s. election debates says it's going to make changes to bring order to the remaining 2 contests it hasn't given specifics yet but there have been calls for the moderator to be able to cut the candidate's microphones president trump has been widely criticized for how much he interrupted and spoke over joe biden joe of the 1st debate both men also traded personal insults well let's go live to our white house correspondent kimberly holocaust in washington d.c. so the dust still hasn't really settled from that 1st debate just talk us through what the candidates are doing today. yeah that's right the reverberations from the 1st presidential debate still percolating around washington and the broader united states prompting calls for the changes in format moving forward as for the candidates themselves well they're raising money because of course u.s.
4:22 pm

4:23 pm
congress as we have been reporting for many weeks and months the struggles economically for americans as a result of some of those shutdowns due to the pandemic have continued to inflict economic hardship on millions of americans and so many are looking to congress for a nother injection of cash to try and help some of those families who are still struggling the layoffs in the united states continue as well even though the latest numbers show that in fact those state unemployment claims have fallen there are still are historic proportions in terms of the layoffs that are happening across the business sector so what we know 1 is that there seems to be some new life in those discussions on capitol hill the chief of staff of the white house here mark meadows very much involved as well as the treasury secretary steve talking to house speaker nancy pelosi the 2 sides seem to have come together a little bit more than they were weeks ago with nancy pelosi now saying that she is
4:24 pm
. considering a package that would be somewhat less than the number she was initially looking at and on the republican side it looks like some concessions have been made in terms of giving money to state and local governments which they were opposed to initially now in terms of how this could work out we know that in fact there is some optimism looking at the polls the democrats seem to have the upper hand right now they say they're not too worried if they don't get a deal because the polls indicate right now nationally in this presidential race joe biden is leading by about 8 percentage points in the feeling is that if they win they'll get the deal that they're looking for after november 3rd and the presidential election that's a white house correspondent kimberly hall could be in washington d.c. thank you very much. well one of the industries that's been hit hardest earliest is the airline industry layoffs have begun for more than $13000.00 employees american and united airlines is in if congress comes up with $25000000000.00 in aid in the
4:25 pm
next few days and its workers will be recalled well let's go down to gallagher who's joining us live from miami the airline industry has been warning all of looming layoffs for several weeks now just talk us through what's been happening but what happened is the airline industry got a stimulus package back in march with the provision that they don't lay off any staff that stimulus package run out on thursday the 1st of october and now they are beginning to lay off between 30 to 50000 lines staff not just airline staff but those that support them as well so baggage handlers people that work behind the counters that cetera so the impact of this is on hundreds of thousands of families and their aviation experts now that say at least $1.00 to $3.00 major airlines may actually fold all together because they don't believe that travel will return to anything like normal until around 2024 at the moment chapal is down 70 percent but
4:26 pm
the treasury secretary steven ocean is pleading with the airlines not to lay people off because they may come up with some kind of new stimulus deal but as kimberly was saying that doesn't like it's close at the moment with the democrats proposing over 2 trillion dollars and the republicans holding off but the important thing here is that is affecting the lives of normal 'd everyday americans with no real prospect in the future that they may get their jobs back if they are laid off or furloughed as they will be on thursday that means no health insurance that means a very desperate future for many many people and they've got to live for us in miami i do thank you very much indeed. firefighters in northern california struggling to contain 2 fast moving wildfires one is threatening towns and wineries in napa valley the other called dissolve fire has killed 4 people in the cascade food hills close to the oregon border an estimated 75000 people are under evacuation orders the state's seen

4:31 pm
delay. the 2nd woman has died in india after being gang raped in the state of altar pradesh reigniting protests about sexual violence and the country's cost system both women were from the marginalised talent community. at least 60 people have been detained at protests marking china's national day in hong kong police blocked off streets and alleys in a major shopping area where previous protests have been held there is a ban on mass protests judical the 19 it's been 3 months after beijing imposed its security law on the territory national day marks the finding of the people's republic of china in 1949 hong kong marked the anniversary with a flag raising ceremony on the shores of victoria harbor chief executive kerry was among those attending she condemned countries that have criticised the new security law and said it would be implemented without hesitation. so you 1000000 people funds he said no matter how severe some foreign governments holding double
4:32 pm
standards are going to level unjustified accusations against the authorities in charge of implementing the national security law or aggressively imposing further sanctions against the hong kong officials who are responsible for safeguarding national security i and my relevant colleagues will continue to discharge our duty to safeguard national security in accordance with the law without fear or anxiety. it in britain has the latest from hong kong. they have been flooding the streets with offices all afternoon because a few days ago they rejected an application by a group to hold a protest today site citing covert 90 as well as the potential for violence but in the days since there have been a lot of calls have gone out online for people to still turn up in this area and to demonstrate in whatever way they see fit so what has happened is that we have plenty of people here today wearing black t. shirts of course not see the color code of the protest movement but as i say
4:33 pm
there's very little they can really do i mean protesting conventionally in hong kong is now you know essentially over the combined effects of the coronavirus measures which means we have to wear you know face masks like this when we go out in public as well as the new security law mean that we're not seeing a repeat of those large protests of a year ago i mean i covered the big demonstration here on october 1st 2019 that was a very violent day here in hong kong that's when a protest was shot in the chest by police we're not seeing anything on that scale now but the sentiment but tide behind the protest movement is still very much there it's just the people having to be more creative and more inventive in the way they demonstrate so you see people holding up newspapers hong kong's most popular newspaper which is owned by a man who was recently arrested under the new national security law. there's been a potential breakthrough between israel and lebanon in an effort to end
4:34 pm
a decades long border dispute well that's big not who's in a hole or she's talking to us from beirut just give us some of the background to this deal as in. well undoubtedly this is a significant development these neighboring countries who are technically at war have a green zone to talk to sit down even though lebanon is calling it indirect negotiations they will. sit down with the israelis to talk about the land and maritime border disputes decades old disputes like you mentioned it wasn't easy to bring these 2 parties to the negotiating table in fact the united states which is claiming credit for this agreement has been a shuttling back and forth between these 2 countries for years now in fact the u.s. secretary of state pompei o is calling it a historic agreement which really is raising a lot of questions why now i mean both sides had a lot to gain by agreeing on a maritime border line especially because the disputed waters are believed to have
4:35 pm
gas an oil deposit so why now especially that it comes on the heels of u.s. brokered peace treaties between israel and the u.a.e. and pressuring now 11 on rejecting this altogether saying this is not about normalization at all this is not about peace these are technical technical talks but another issue is that the 11 on 11 these politicians really under a lot of pressure sanctions the threat of u.s. sanctions and hezbollah the iranian backed group which really is the most powerful group in lebanon which holds put it the power they have softened their stance agreeing to this to this deal so many are saying this could be a reason because of all this pressure on the lebanese groups on why we're seeing this framework agreement now and then of course it's obvious that lebanon has been through incredibly difficult times in the last couple of months particularly but its economy has been struggling it's going through political upheaval as you've been talking about there was the huge explosion. what does this deal actually mean
4:36 pm
for lebanon and is it is there are there any positive signs for level. well economic benefits because this 860 square kilometer maritime territory is believed to have gas and oil deposits so undoubtedly this is going to be a new sector for levanon it will create jobs this is an indebted nation a country which is desperate for hard currency so definitely like lebanon will benefit if israel and lebanon agree on a deal in 18 the maritime border but this is easier said than done because lebanon is and says i think that the land border is demarcated as well so it's not really clear if an agreement can be reached but definitely it will help a country which is slowly sinking and people becoming poorer every day. it's been nearly 2 months since the devastating explosion at the port in beirut it
4:37 pm
hasn't been easy for david sabella to find the money to fix the damage in his restaurant the economy was already collapsing and now a political vacuum creates more uncertainty within die in the explosion and now they're killing us and everything right away and still no solution and they're fighting we're going to have what they don't even form big government. the government resigned in the aftermath of the blast an initiative by french president a man well mccall failed after lebanese parties didn't commit to forming a nonpartisan government capable of carrying out much needed reforms to unlock international financial assistance has been the most powerful group that is backed by iran wants a different approach. will have to be in the government whether through party members or non party members as this is up for discussion all the while the financial meltdown continues a caretaker government can't implement reforms or revive stalled talks with the
4:38 pm
international monetary fund for a bailout plan but got on but the scope of this going on in lebanon and have been going on for 30 years that's protected by. but often politicians and i don't think it. i think we're going to think much lower. many feel lebanon's fate is entangled in international and regional politics historically. with the. exterior of. the theater so i don't think it's going to happen now the u.s. government's maximum pressure campaign against iran is also directed against its allies washington has been trying to isolate hezbollah and and its role in government. there can't be a political deal here until after the u.s. presidential election many say it wasn't a coincidence that his deadline to form a new government after the polls in november but the french. parties not to make
4:39 pm
a mistake and bet on any possible changes in u.s. foreign policy. lebanon can't wait out the crisis the central bank has warned it will and subsidies on basic goods in the next few weeks because it is running out of foreign reserves this will further fuel inflation. most of our customers are buying the subsidized products now because other goods are too expensive and no longer affordable for many. middle class the sinking into poverty the local currency continues to lose value many fear difficult days ahead. beirut for the 1st time ever the world's 3rd largest stock exchange has suspended trading for the day the problem of the tokyo stock exchange is being blamed on a technical glitch officials say the issue is with a system that relays market information and the trading will resume on friday the previous outages have happened when the trading platform became overwhelmed with too many orders the world health organizations are urging more countries to join
