the forecast rains off fall, sass is narrow, b, o, b, all ah, ah, with, ah, iraq supreme court is expected to rule on a petition to dissolve parliament after months of political deadlock.

ah, hello, i'm emily anglin. this is al jazeera alive from dough house to coming up. vladimir putin says western sanctions are a danger to the whole world as he hosts his senior chinese ladies at an economic forum. you case, you prime mina stanley's trust promises to cut taxes and we're juice the cost of living. and she proposed to hold her 1st cabinet, making and floods bring the indian cd of bengal over to a standstill, environmentalist, blame and legal construction and pool. i've been planning ah, iraq supreme court is said to rule on an application for the design disillusion of parliament as a 10 month long political impair,

drags on politicians allied with influential she, i later we'll kind of a refund the petition last month after an earlier request was rejected, status importers have been protesting for months, calling for a complete overhaul of the political system, and fresh elections for more on this led to bring in him run con, who's in baghdad. hello him, ron. what are we expecting to happen in court today? well the cool it is i, she just down the street behind me. it's inside the green zone. and now it's telling me that the green zone is actually open. you can see the traffic going in and out of the green zone that that's actually telling because it means that they're not expecting a huge amount of people to come and gather where i'm actually stood is where protestors would normally come and gather. we're not seeing any of those people here at the moment. what's expected in cold? well, in about an hour's time, the court will start their session. the judges will deliberate. now they did to

start doing this on august the 30th they made the decision on august 30th to postpone it until today. or we don't know whether they will make that decision to dissolve parliament. certainly, that's what this other is. once there's been this political impact here in iraq a 10 months now. now just to give you an idea of how this is actually supposed to work, once you have elections and the parliament is elected the pound, then alex, the president, the president as sorry, the speaker vows the speaker, the house, then with consensus chooses or the president and the president, a leg again with consensus from the parliament terean's actually puts in place the prime minister that hasn't happened that supposed to happen within 15 days has now been 10 months. and there's been an acting prime minister that's been incredibly frustrating for the influence will ferric will tell us other, who has the biggest parliamentary block with in the government. now, he has pulled his and p's us was cause a lot of what we're seeing at the moment today is about this court decision,

whether they actually dissolve apartments. and if they don't parliament, then we're like, he'd see mass celebrations out on the streets. or if they postpone it, or we're going to see a lot more political machinations going on. but it also is worth noting that we are in a religious month at the moment, are called out by in that comes to an end. on september the 17th wiped the southern screen movement, and others have that though, respect that religious period, and they won't put anybody out in the streets until the 17th of the 18th. so the courts have some breathing space, but like i say, emily, all eyes on that called bra courtroom, just down the road from where indeed head an m round. can you remind as how we got to this point wise? a rush in such an unstable political position. what is cuz we don't have a majority in parliament here in iraq. there's no one party that can actually sway those decisions when it comes them or recruiting the speaker, the house,

the president of the parliament in the past. and that's always been the case probably for about the last decade that the person they choose as the prime minister is often not the strongest candidate, but this one candidate that everybody can simply agree on. now what happens is that parliament then becomes a stalemate. nobody can really get anything done because don't have a strong leader with a mandate at the top as part of this democratic process. but what, but other also that are saying, and i'm like, i say he has the largest majority in parliament, is that that system is wrong in that system. it's be overhaul by overhauling. the system is not an oven. i think that's gonna take years to do so. right now, the only option that they have this other is have, and others who support him is to try and go for this dissolution of palm and have new elections. and the hope that they do get a majority. so they can put in a prime minister that can actually make some decisions. but that hasn't happened in the past. so that's why we're up this, we're in this position right now where there has been this 10 month long,

her little impulse. all right, we appreciate you bringing us up to spade. thank you very much. iran cam live for us in baghdad. russian president vladimir putin has called sanctions against moscow . a danger to the world. speaking at the east in economic form and let us talk food and accuse the west of undermining the global economy, he's expected to make the head of china's legislature, lee john shoes shortly. increasingly isolated by its for in ukraine. russia has forced closer ties of china in the past year in the spring. so newly hurt because of the sanctions from the west have been an aggressive attempt to get other countries to follow certain models. there are questions are and sovereignty and subordinating to their will. these are policies which have been carried out for decades, but there's been slipping away of us domination. they haven't been able to see the objective fact. if we look at recent times, the entire system of international relations is going through tectonic change. or

let's bringing say gay markov, who is the director of the institute of political studies in moscow and a former spokesman for president urgent. he joins us live from moscow gate. thanks so much for being on the program. we had person has said that the west sanctions was short sighted and the danger for the entire world is there is some merit in that this a was a sanctions for western constance. russia doesn't work out which and called is aggression as find this aggression commissioner, economic aggression by national aggression and sticking on those are collaboration and see tools are to rush on me well enough. and is the main part of the speech was a drawer that goes a economic development across in this new situation. and he wants

a russian to call them, is specifically a, some part of russian economy would be more involved in a quick economic growth. so pacific ocean america also let me to put, you mentioned that most of the countries a pacific also don't want to take part in aggression or getting access against russia or some countries. and he got. busy well, comes out because he is and see, and i told this really good, really good basis for economic good ation. all rational is those countries, right? so how critical then is trying to run the that broader asia region to rush and given it's been kind of by the way, who well, even put a main lucille,

i was in countries is neo colonial and and, and now is rush. i use the main contact who is fight against you know, there is another council interest own interest to support the roster in z z like in case your call is all of a sudden old embedded conscious i bought them. kids have been, have been a long cause a great deal now. so goals, you can give us a special box. i will his speech to get a deal. ok. all that it was because you could bring in again go to developing countries on there to learn. you can

see, as you mentioned that on the 2 sheets from 8 to 7 goals are developing countries about all of us to the countries. and i'm sorry when you're saying that most of the grain went to europe rather than developing countries. where is that information coming from? r e g, a medical just told you about a rational still good deal, but i sure will do it not a right now or a bad guy. because of what i'm told that to get there was i am and i had a job with i got a good deal about a dozen goals. that's also a yesterday's us. some buses up to united nation, a tool that is, he's

a good deal doesn't work because i wasn't conscious of getting the folder for him assist to make it like stools or russian st with some great rough and for no one rush. and she was able to go to the national market was actually i see a. busy william few days of the discussion about was, is getting deal with stock and those is getting deal stopped november and the middle of november, and possibly even because it's a great deal. right. all right, well, we appreciate your inside. thanks very much. i take, i, mark of the director of the institute of political studies live press in mosque. i appreciate your time. china and russia have been forging closed the time since the invention of ukraine. the 3rd most powerful politician in china lay john shoe, is in black stock for the eastern economic form. patrick found has more from

beijing. the agencies as it makes them the highest level, china's leader to step foot outside of china. since the early days of the coven 19 pandemic is also the most seeing a chinese official to visit russia since its invasion of ukraine. he is there to attend the 7th eastern economic forum. andrew also suggested he could lay the groundwork for the next face to face meeting between present, she jumping and vladimir putin. now this comes just as russia has cut off gas supplies to europe and said that exports won't resume until sanctions are lifted. that creates a headache for european countries, but it also puts pressure on moscow to find another buyer that he use. energy imports from russia were worth more than a $100000000.00 in 2021. and with china facing its own energy challenges that could help fill that void, but endless, like anatole booth, the chinese university of hong kong say there is no quick fix to russia's problems

because wall the infrastructure walls in place for russia to deliver gas to europe via the nordstrom pipeline, the same isn't the case for the chinese market. the infrastructure he's at the moment is constrained. they're really limited in the connections. and so the short term help to address is roha front or rear russian energy is really and is bleeding . and now of course, further down the line, once these infrastructure is a required course, milton, 1000000000 investments and also, and technology transfers to some extent, once that is in place of force in under the own and long term. and james, mark robinette, it's g question that general course is facing is, is it ready to rely on a partner that has a weaponized?

it's energy supplies, most important barrels of energy. so this is something that could really put to the test that no limited partnership between moscow and beijing. in that meeting between president, she and president putin could come soon, kessick starnes farm. and she said the chinese leader was expected to visit the central asian nation on september 14th, where he'll sign a series of bilateral deals that hasn't been confirmed by beijing. but if it goes ahead, it's also likely that president, she will attend a gathering of the shanghai corporation organization and was beckett's don kicking off the following day, which will also be attended by russia. still ahead on al jazeera, the solomon islands, post pines, elections as its lady gets closer to china and further away from the west. and the un calls for a safety zone around this apparition, nuclear power plant, but stopped short of attributing blame for shelling. ah

right now you be chasing suburb weather. i think the next few days throughout europe. this unwinding massive cloud is a big, low pressure area, throwing its rain across germany and eventually into western ponies. could hang around a bit. i think in this general area, the hint there's, it's already waving back over the alps is caught the out shouts, attentive, send up showers. i think of the next day or so that's probably the area to look for the biggest down poles. there is sunshine and ahead of it is still relatively warm until you get to the baltic states. not so good looking there just aren't in the atlantic. that spinning storm. there is a hurricane, which i think will join the tribe of low pressures on their way to western europe over the next few days, more likely weeks. so the weather has changed seasonally and that's pretty big rain potential. so i think was he some flash flooding out of this followed by

a few days of brighter sunny weather. it wants to still further south in paramus. 34, still a few degrees above the average for that waltz is being pushed away now fairly regularly. now in the cell in africa, we have a huge amount of rain flooding around the northeast in our gerry ranch and meaner as well. as you see these big masses of rain tend to move this direction so west africa still looks very wet, free turn. not as wet as its fellows. a bit further south by orange is heavy. ah ah, with

households, the sunlit uplands of the british economy, a currently shrouded in folk, and the calls on the new prime minister to offer some glimmers of light are getting louder. you need to look at the world as it is rather in the world that you'd like it to be and then you need to respond. and the big message for me is trickle down. economics does not work. the last 15 years has shown us that because economy has granite points, the cake has got bigger. but what's happened is that those are the top of taken law and the majority of people have not benefit to let's just want to offer her own vision of britain as it faces, economic and existential crises. but she must also show the public. she's able to be pragmatic and take steps to stop millions of people slipping into poverty. the challenge is immense. nadine barbara al jazeera london, the number of dead following an earthquake in western china has risen to 74 and nearly 30 people is still missing. rescue is evacuated,
