i am the challenge for you all of their read him and their real. food fusion and the fun. from street food the 5 star restaurant tasting taipei starts september 1st on t w. this is how the british parliament will look in the final weeks before the country leaves the european union and empty westminster before and that is how johnson wants it to be his decision today to suspend parliament for 5 weeks is completely legal and it has the queen's blessing it also has many lawmakers outraged accusing the prime minister of acting like a dictator and trying to shut down democracy is he. this is the day.

week until october the 31st before getting gold with all the promises to it is a sort of smash and grab on our democracy nor as a force through the exit from the european union this is really just. a primitive he is unelected in terms of the people of this country when you get someone a prime minister acting more like a dictator than someone who's supposed to be the center of the mother of all problems i think he's going to be very very concerned if m.p.'s don't come together next week. in his tracks then i think to this to these the u.k. democracy. also coming up a 16 year old climate activist just sailed across the atlantic and docked in new york harbor on a mission to stop climate change and she didn't leave a single carbon footprint but it is saying that

a 6 year old. i wish to make a stand and 2 and. this of course is not something that i want everyone to do. viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world well we begin the day with the u.k.'s new prime minister boris johnson a close. or than he's ever been to 2 things britain crashing out of the european union and boris johnson out of a job as prime minister today johnson announced that he will suspend parliament for 5 weeks beginning in mid september ending just 2 weeks before breaks it begins on october 31st his request today was approved by the queen and westminster there was more anger than approval opposition lawmakers and even conservatives accusing johnson of acting like a dictator showing disregard for parliament especially a parliament that wants to stop

a new deal breaks it time is running out for parliament and it could also run out for boris johnson's new hold on power as i said on the steps of st we're not going to wait until october the 31st before getting on with all plans to take this country forward and this is a new government with a very exciting agenda we need new legislation we've got to be bringing forward new and important bills that's why we are going to have a queen's speech and we're going to do it on the 14th he is trying to prevent parliament holding him to account and we will do absolutely everything we can next to stick to legislate to prevent him doing that and oppose this government for what it's doing take us out the e.u. without a deal this is an abuse of process it's whatever it is johnson ses and whoever he tries to chase up this is a bit trying to stop a majority in parliament coming together to avoid a new duplex it well if there is

a constitutional crisis in the united kingdom we'll breaks it survived this will prime minister boris johnson's government survive this we've got complete coverage tonight with me here at the big table is my colleague alex forrest widing our resident westminster insider with years of very 40 experience on u.k. politics and joining us tonight from italy is raw. can sell a former labor m.p. he is now with the new europeans that's an in-joke that lobbies to protect civil rights for all busy europeans to both of you welcome that we start with you the timing of this it could not be worse for westminster can we believe johnson when he says this has nothing to do with press. absolutely not there is no doubt that boris johnson and all those surrounding him know that this has everything to do with bricks it this is these are guerilla tactics this is go in

a warfare and it has all the finger marks of boris johnson's own special advisor dominic cummings he is the man who successfully led the leave come paying in the brics that referendum back in 2016 the aim here is to confuse the opposition to take them off guard and that is exactly what's happened look there are m.p.'s from around 6 political parties who want to thwart a no deal brecht's it even some from boris johnson's own conservative party but so far they have spoken without a unified voice yesterday however they managed to agree that yes they would try to hold some will put down some kind of legislation to force boris johnson to go to brussels to say let's delay bret is it that however now looks much less likely to be able to happen as far as boris johnson you know he can this can be called an undemocratic move a threat to parliamentary suffering has he actually

a broken the rules the answer probably is no and that is because the government is the executive they still have a lot of power over a parliament because they control the parliamentary timetable this those set a president and many people are saying it's a very dangerous precedent all the all the everything that he's done so for is legal as you say reeves spoken several times on this program about. people such as yourself by labor to get a 2nd to break that referendum to you put that dream to bed now haven't you. i still think that that is the way forward is to do exactly as in europeans composed is to. get the recruitment if it is through the house of commons went to the statute books but with a sunset cruel that would allow for a referendum on the actual reality of the withdrawal agreement and if

britain voted to stay then they would feel it will be needed and it voted to leave a 2nd time then britain would leave on the basis of which will be cool ready beadle all but for that to happen we need a new government to be not going to see that happen under the forest. for sure and that's why nick people b m p's must it is his have additional confidence in the junction of the of the nestle what do you think do you think we're going to get that vote of no confidence being led by jeremy corbyn because a lot of people could argue that jeremy corbin is partly responsible while why the u.k. is in the position it's in right now. well if i was in the house of commons now talking to moderate conservatives and are trying to build a consensus. which is what is what is needed. a strong and

stable consensus in the center of british politics to try and rescue the situation . i think a lot of people with city brant we are starting to run our place we want to know do breaks it we don't want to see their record been down in history so i. you know i keep it one has to be open to the possibility of somebody else being the prime minister short term prime minister while this bracks it issue gets sorted out that could be for example in crop form with conservative. sectarian chants and father of the house the obvious male member of the house. or it could be harriet harman the mother of the house the most senior labor m.p. for magick to leader of the labor party but certainly in my view the well dressed i don't require aggressive action and i think that the.

only route have been a very confident johnson down and putting in government and that is to make sure that britain avoids didn't brecht it that's what i. intend and stuart to bring to the issue out what were you as a real names for a possible what just that the biggest problem head of time and that is a bar is johnson and his team have done here they've made it much harder for the parliament parliament the member state on the sun on it celebrates its comeback next chain's day at the moment it looks like a labor going to try to call in imagines he debate it so that they can try to put down legislation we talked about. and as we've heard that from russia there is the possibility of a no confidence vote however the problem for john the call been in the labor party is at the moment it doesn't look like they have the votes so if they call it and

they don't win war then time is running out they have very very very difficult for those m.p.'s who do not want there to be a no deal break set as to what they do maybe they will decide to go for a no confidence vote if they win it just remember that if they win it there is still the possibility for boris johnson to say i am not resigning i will call an election but it will be off to put it off to the 39 you know you say maybe on november 1st i mean there's been a lot of reaction here in europe to what happened today in london politicians they've been reacting to the prime minister's decision here in germany norbert rybka the member of the government's foreign policy commission tweeted this today in english he wrote johnson argues that respect for democracy dictates implementing bragg's do or die on october 31st i wonder how does respect for democracy go together with suspending parliament and the european parliament's chief breaks official give hope stuff says taking back control has never looked sinister myself

but there it is with those fighting for their voices to be heard suppressing debate on profound choices is unlikely to help deliver a stable future e.u. u.k. relationship roger what are you hearing in europe italy right now me they've got their own political problems to deal with but reg's it is dominating everything across europe what do you expect the e.u. to do moving forward now. in italy they just agreed a pact between the ip to democratic and the 5 star movement keep at least room right wing party absolute 0 and said they have done a lot and police in the u.k. need today which is time together when you come home and i'd most surprised me from whole ship mother. saying what they're saying and that's very very helpful i think we need to have a voice is from europe back to back into you guessed it just what this looks like

is how contradict create is to say you want to break city borders again back around she saw him then to undermine parliament be talking to each in this very grass and outrageous way but what is needed now used to the cool heads and courage hearts of about 40 and said to then you know in their heart of hearts print that look orange continues to be in this room it has to be struck that they have the power to stop it but it will be absolutely critical they support a no confidence in the house of commons because i fear that if the company does not take over and is not successful then it will indeed prove very difficult to stop or johnson taking britain out of the in the without the yeah and of course that vote would have to come in next week and it's one of the chances. we had that boris johnson he is betting that he will get so bad that brussels will blink 1st and will

say ok we will renegotiate on the brakes and withdraw all everyone of the chances of that happening i think anything is possible but i think it's highly unlikely that say 5 or 27 other members of the who have spoken with one voice they have offered that dale it was a by postulate since predecessor to raise in may now obviously there are many other banks it is who don't accept it and. did not get through parliament but in a way is that the they say that they are ready for a new deal breaks it of course they don't want one but they are ready for it and that is because they have to protect their own project they have to protect the single market and they have to show the world that they stand out for the smaller states and by that i mean ireland my limping a big issue in this in this whole debate last week we saw boris johnson coming here to berlin then on to paris the british press took that as a great success for johnson and that possibly

a new deal was on the agenda that the withdrawal agreement could be reopened i really do not see that happening roger let me i'm as big of a what. you were saying it's also about this new confidence vote that happening next week and what happens if it passes and you get a no confidence vote and boris johnson says he'll accept it but he's not going to hold for example new elections until after october 31st which he could do will what is what legal recourse then would anyone have to stop their. well that's a very good question would be inciting enchanted terror kate but i think that the role of the queen will become important i mean you mentioned in your introduction you said that the queen it approved work or expense and i think that's a little bit unfair on the queen she is vies by a pretty count so who are members of parliament and stevie and she doesn't want to appear in politics and says she has to go along really well with this it but i

think in a situation where. a an alternative government is available and can be i don't tend to promise it could be presented to the greek that i think it was clear you know in a very difficult position i mean she she should actually invite the new when you make a promise to try to form a government and i think footballers johnson too i said wouldn't put it possible i'm sure you're quite right he was trying to have it but i think the idea of. the government being voted down in the house of commons one of a 2 no confidence because of concern about no deal breaks it and then used to leave office and to allow a new government if there is a support for that government and the new prime minister in the house who comes to take office and then the last pursued policy. out of the government a vote of no confidence i think we would then be in uncharted territory i think we

would ski. an outbreak of civil unrest i think it would possibly see a general strike i think we've received the bronze in this piece and i think the situation is going to become very tense and the has to be a way of calming things down there has to be a way has to be found to. to make a compromise to find a way for them to bring the country together again and that's you know they did away that have chris johnson a new team are trying to pursue it he had to stop but if your government has to be brought in for them as a big. but it is i was told at the last word it is ironic isn't it that at the end of the day it could be up to the queen what happens yeah well i mean already she's being brought into this not just from what she's had to agree to today when the likes of jacob very small. city who is now the leader of the house of commons flew

to morrow yes there she is right now so that's already happened but the fact that leaders of the opposition parties are also demanding a meeting with the queen to talk this through so already she is involved in this whether she likes it or not and that is pretty much on precedented it's you know the gravity being pulled into politics is very strong at the moment that is for sure all right roger because all in italy tonight it's and alex force one here at the big table with me to both of you thank you for helping us trying to make sense of what is a complex and complicated story thank you. you're watching the day still to come he is 102 years old and still teaching children how to swim we'll meet this man named lisa who lives right here in berlin and find out why his wife is still so. swimming. going since with.

well after 14 days it sees swedish climate change activists gratitude she has arrived in new york city she made the journey in order to attend a u.n. environmental summit and she wanted to travel without leaving a carbon footprint that's hard to do when you're going from plymouth in britain to new york in the united states the 16 year old beginner transatlantic journey as i said in plymouth traveled across the atlantic in some fairly rough conditions she addressed cheering crowds right after arriving let's hear what she said. well all of this very overwhelming and the ground still shaking for me. so i want to sing everyone so much everyone who who is here and. everyone who is involved in this climate fights because this is

a tight cross-post this across continents. was. speaking just a few moments ago in new york city our correspondent. standing by there in battery park in new york just a shell away from. just. i mean let's just talk about the image that we just saw here we've got a 16 year old who just spent 15 days in a boat crossing the atlantic. no carbon footprint and she just told the cheering supporters that it was insane that a 16 year old had to do this. absolutely brenda you know she is she does not mince her words that's for sure she said it like it is and. what i suppose many people really respect her for a lot of her supporters a lot of the young people young and old in fact who are joining her in her

fight against you know climate change this climate crisis she went up there to rapturous applause when she came in here and she's just still at behind me in the boat and a lot of people were cheering her on and giving her a lot of support and you can just see that at this is a 16 year old who has really left a huge impression across the world for what she has done let's not forget she has crossed the atlantic ocean and just such a young age and all because she wants to highlight the climate crisis she has made a huge impact especially here in europe almost everyone knows the name but that's not the case in the united states is it. no you're absolutely right one thing that has really shocked me here is that a lot of people didn't really know who. and what she was doing they'd heard about it a lot of people came down to me today and

a lot of the other journalists down here who were waiting for her to arrive asking us why we were here when we mentioned her name some people had never even heard her name but then even just looking at television and reading in the press it wasn't as widely covered but it appears that younger people really did know that she was coming because of course they're you know more clued in will say on social media a lot of people get their news from you know instagram and twitter and facebook and and it was sort of very evident in the people who were down here waiting for. you know a lot of young people teenagers young adults who had come dine with their parents or come dine with groups of friends but like i said the majority of the media who were here today were definitely from the site the united states and there there has been some criticism what. she's doing and how she's doing and talk to me a little bit about the blowback that she's got. yeah you're absolutely right i mean a lot of people were criticizing her for. coming over here on this boat that we're

seeing behind me at but then asking how is it going to go back to europe and how are the crew going to travel back and i'm criticizing for the fact that you know they're going to be traveling back on a plane and but you know she essentially just sort of a critic said not left off she just said she's going to focus on what her mission is and she even had words for president donald trump and it was quite interesting she said listen to the science she said you know if no one has been able to convince him about the climate crisis on the urgency why would i be able to on her focus is essentially on getting people talking about this climate crisis and focused on what the real issue is here which for her it's not something needs to be done on her general. the people i was speaking to today at today were saying the exact same thing that they are the ones who are going to suffer the consequences of climate change aren't w.'s very own publicly announced in new york city. public is
