8:01 pm
gets the royal seal of approval johnson asked the queen to suspend parliament i'm told just a few weeks before britain is set to leave the e.u. she has now given her go ahead traumatically cutting the time for the opposition to block a mill deal gregg said and up for 2 weeks a seat in the 0 emissions sailboat teenage climate activists question timber has entered in waters off of new york city where she will attend the u.n. climate something. i'm sarah kelly welcome to the program we begin in rome where there has been a breakthrough in attempts to form a new government. and 5 star movement and the center left democratic party have agreed on a coalition deal which includes reappointing just as prime minister conti is an independent ally of the 5 to. our movement he now needs
8:02 pm
a nand aid from the president to form a government the coalition won't shut out the far right you know mattel's salvini who triggered this crisis by withdrawing his likud party from government earlier this month. in good days standing by with the latest in rome for us so an agreement has been arranged what does this mean for italy oh well yes we see the center left democratic as well as the 5 star movement both the leaders speaking today after meeting the president saying that they've agreed to form a government in sept at the choice all just because the center left democratic party for him to be the next prime minister not much to us to do much to manage it if he's president is likely to give these 2 parties of a few more days to perhaps to come up with the program how much to get in on the plan and also to figure out who's going to get what been history so clearly there's going to be
8:03 pm
a lot of jockeying and we see very $22.00 very different parties you've got the democratic party that's generally pro the e.u. they're crow and have a very different take on how the issue of migration perhaps should be tackled very different from what we've seen with the far right. and that you have the 5 star movement which is a euro skeptic party and also suspicious of business so really they have to come up with some kind of compromise and put together that program but today at least it seems to show that they have agreed to work together and what ultimately do you think led to this agreement i mean was this really about the skills of martello or was this you know the sense that this was simply the best thing for the country what happened here. i think these 2 parties really were motivated by one key factor to prevent any and this far party from coming into the pot in general elections instead of this new mandate be pushed forward and so really the motivation was that they wanted to make sure that salvini poll numbers and his party's poll numbers
8:04 pm
have been a very high close to 40 percent so there was concern that if elections were hopeful eventually take all the pot become the new government so that was the motivation let's talk about what now happens to this far right leader of the link. because ultimately his pant plan was to force early elections he really thought he was going to gain in those elections and this is a big backfire isn't it what happens next i mean it's a gross miscalculation really on his part i think he thought he had the numbers and so it was his time to pull his support for the government and to call for the election not expecting his to form a rival see if you like because we have seen the 5 star movement attacked the center left democratic party quite strongly that possibly didn't expect these 2 to get together and now it appears that they have now mr southie me speaking at the end of his consultations the president said that this new government that's being
8:05 pm
suggested really has been put in place by the g. 7 and the g. 7 meeting that recently happened in barrett's referring particularly germany and france saying that this is the government that the european union wants it's not the government not the italians and that's what he's put forward today and he's expected to go in to be quite a bull call opposition when he comes into that position once this new government is formed seem to groups and rome thank you. britain's queen elizabeth has approved a request from boris johnson to suspend parliament johnson had asked for the suspension from mid september until 2 weeks before britain's exit from the european union plans now for october 31st johnson says the suspension is justified but opponents call the move undemocratic they say that it will give lawmakers less time to potentially pass legislation to stop a no deal bragg's it. it dropped like
8:06 pm
a bombshell in a letter to m.p.'s boris johnson explained that he wanted to suspend parliament until just 2 weeks before the u.k. is set to leave the e.u. that severely limits the time opponents would need to try to stop regs it johnson denies it's a clever move to silence them there will be ample time on both sides of that crucial october 17th summit ample time in parliament for m.p.'s to debate the e.u. debate british and all the other issues and put up at a mockery to the is of the opposition parties only yesterday they had agreed to quickly put a bill before parliament designed to hinder a no deal breaks it now time is running away from them the speaker of the house of commons dubbed the lengthy suspension of parliament a constitutional outrage the leader of britain's main opposition party jeremy corbyn also condemned the move. suspending parliament is not acceptable it's not
8:07 pm
all the promises doing is a sort of smash and grab on our democracy nor as a force through a no deal exit from the european union what is so afraid of that is suspend parliament to prevent parliament discussing these matters you know and there was fierce criticism from scotland to know what democracy is dictatorship and if m.p.'s do find a way of coming together next week to stop johnson in his tracks then today will go down in history as the any semblance of u.k. democracy. the queen has approved johnson's request to suspend parliament the opposition figures have now asked to meet with her putting the politically neutral monic at risk of being dragged into the dispute. let's bring in g.w. charlotte parts who is joining us live from london with the latest and we have to mention charlotte opponents of boris johnson's work today they keep mentioning how unprecedented this is is that true and could you explain why.
8:08 pm
yes sara it's absolutely unprecedented that is absolutely correct i mean we know that boris johnson is determined to see bricks it through on october 31st and this is one of his ways to limit parliament's time to sit down and find alternatives and we have to say it's usual practice before a queen's speech to suspend for polman for a short period of time for a few days but of course we're talking here about 5 weeks 3 of those parliament would have been on recess anyway at their party conferences but 5 weeks is quite a long time where parliamentarians could have found alternatives to a no deal breck's it and we've seen a lot of outrage today are a lot of outrage coming from m.p.'s of course of the opposition parties but also within the conservative party of those that run to remain in the european union and we've seen a lot of outrage also with amongst the public that there were hundreds of hundreds
8:09 pm
of protesters out there earlier today and we see that across major cities in the u.k. tonight people saying that this is absolutely undemocratic unprecedented and that they are very scared that this makes a no deal absolutely more likely and now we have this suspension you know as britain barrels toward regs it what happens between now and mid september. well paul amend will come back on tuesday and then the parliamentarians will sit down and of course discuss those alternatives to a no deal the question is can they see something through can they push legislation through and such a short period of time their number of legal challenges now that would prevent parliament from being pro life to see if those comes through if those will change anything but definitely alternatives will be discussed and what we could also see as early as next week is a vote of no confidence against boris johnson which could of course trigger
8:10 pm
a general election and this process of parole parliament this decision from boris johnson could have been finally the turning point of uniting the opposition parties against his government and even maybe some conservatives so we might as well see a general election where boris johnson then could claim that he has tried everything in us politics through and that would be the basis that he would complain on charlotte pots in london thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world thousands of palestinians have taken part in the funeral procession of 3 policemen killed in 2 blasts in gaza city the hamas controlled interior ministry has declared a state of emergency has been no claim of responsibility but the blasts were reminiscent of previous rounds of infighting between hamas and other islamists. in
