4:02 am
lost his majority in parliament one impi got up and walked across the house and with that the numbers were suddenly against boris johnson tonight westminster winning back the power to steer brags that lawmakers vowing they will not allow the u.k. to leave the european union without a deal and what about the prime minister what does he have to say now i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. the last few weeks i believe the chances of a deal prison it's becoming increasingly clear that this reckless government only has one plan to crush out of the e.u. without a jail there is only one way this will be get this close this deal it is jeremy tobin's surrender point also rendering of those right war with europe they are surely. we will be file tape of the 31st. some troops in
4:03 am
there will be. pointless to do that this is a government with. no morals and as of today no majority. also coming up bangladesh is threatening to send tens of thousands of our hindu refugees to a remote island a new home that the real hinge of do not want to call their own. that's not a matter we don't want to go to china because it gets flooded and then people will die out children will be drowned for them it's another trap when they'll lose their minds if we go they will die help us to stay here and want to thank you but let's. on to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with that showdown in london. britain's new prime minister boris johnson faced
4:04 am
a make or break parliamentary vote over breaks it tonight he lost the battle but there is still the wooer now members of parliament they won control today to set the brakes it agenda moving forward and tonight we're learning that tomorrow members of parliament some members of parliament may actually try to resurrect the withdrawal deal that was negotiated by a former prime minister the former prime minister to resign me here's what was said today in parliament. and of course i think one of the most remarkable things that took place during the statement was to see the member for but i don't know crossed the floor prime minister you have lost your majority. my right honorable friend has assured me that he's very keen to get a deal with the european union last friday chancellor merkel of germany of somewhat acerbically the 9 days into the such a days that the prime minister had requests cheese during his visit to burley she
4:05 am
had yet see the new proposals from the not you what you also understand what you also said is that there is no point towards what my friends across the e.u. have said is that there is no point in having a negotiation as long beginning formal talks as normal as there is a risk parliament to make bad situation impossible it's not just chancellor merkel because of that no substantial proposal has been put forward last week a the irish deputy prime minister has said and i quote nothing credible has come from the british government and quote i don't turn it into the backstop provided the right preparations are on taken by government business and individuals risks can be mitigated significant challenges can be met and we can. also refer to it which actually home zones many times more than those against whom the threat is
4:06 am
supposed to be levelled is not as i say a credible negotiating strategy. and what you were watching there was the 1st battle over breaks that we've got complete coverage of what happened today and what could happen tomorrow and talk about that i'm joined by the w.'s barber vai's all she's covering the story for us from london tonight and our brights of analyst right here in the studio with me alex forrest whiting here at the big table most of you well i mean today was a day that was full of political drama at westminster and there was an. stored mary's seat during prime minister boris johnson speech in parliament with a member of his party stood up and defected to another party i want to take a look at that because i think this is really a moment when the whole world was watching him was speechless so he's the prime minister speaking. of restoring our rhythm their feet you see right there nobody to conservative still really gets up and walks across the house. people
4:07 am
realize what's happened including the prime minister who was. the old order. and it was a shock wasn't it was a shock in the way that he did it i mean there's been talk about phillip lead to defecting for some time but he definitely chose his opportune moment to do that when the prime minister was speaking and he got up and he walked across to the opposition party the liberal democrats to make the point that he could no longer sit with policy that he has been an m.p. for for many years and some of the lines that he said in the statement when he quit saying that the government had been using political manipulation bullying and to lie and that was why he could no longer stay a conservative m.p. and that was just the start of the day where the power dynamics changed right
4:08 am
absolutely because then boris johnson hunt a majority of just one m.p. and he lost that and that majority let's just remember includes 10 m.p.'s from another party from the northern island d u p party they're the ones who are propping up his government so it's a very very difficult situation for the prime minister who is new to the job that's remember him was hoping that he could bulldoze his way through with support from m.p.'s and has no time to very well and the. week that he has been prime minister today in parliament in the house of commons one m.p. leaving his side to walking over to the opposition as barbara parliament today basically wrestling back you know the right to control the boards the agenda is that enough to prevent another deal brinson. we are no waiting for the vote that might be imminent because
4:09 am
a lot of the old bricks it are given have been rehashed here in palm and to during the last hours bought also as alex already said there was a new layer of arguments and that was directed against boris johnson because his opponents are telling him you are lying to us and there is being. in order to prove that it's not only that he says bracks it negotiations are swimmingly even though they aren't effect surely existing but it is beyond that that he is sort of pursuing a hard bracks it and not telling them about his intentions that he once you do something else on the cover of talking about the european union and that it needs to be blackmailed into submission wallace by britain in order to make enough concessions for boris johnson and his hard line is to be satisfied. after all this has been exchanged we'll see if they did all of service here is say the figures out
4:10 am
there it will go through it will show that not only does boris johnson dodge have a majority thought the opposition reinforced by rebels from his own camp can just vote him down. and. some in the us are trying to resurrect a withdrawal do you know break the withdrawal deal that. you know was what shut down 3 times threw him in parliament the work of former prime minister to resign yes us. right that's the irony in all of this where we've talked for months and months is a reason may day of day yes it seems to be dead but could it possibly be coming back in a different form they are labor m.p.'s are they are opposition m.p.'s they are m.p.'s who are one thing to be bracks it they do not want it's been a deal breaks it but they are in favor of being bracks it because of the referendum so they want it to happen and they feel that the only way it can happen is if there
4:11 am
is a deal so they want to try to change this motion that's going to be legislated tomorrow by m.p.'s to say that the government the boris johnson must bring back the latest deal to parliament so they can get another chance to vote on it will be interesting as to whether that happens if m.p.'s will agree with that and i think many probably will because they don't want to no deal pressure it but they many of them the majority feel the house to be bracks it because that is what the majority of brits voted for back in 26 did in that referendum i wish we could read the mind of theresa may tonight so london where we know is a break right now in europe is watching i want you to take a listen to what we heard today from the french secretary of state for european affairs about works we consider but brooke says it is not the end of history the british islands will still be the 1st neighbor in the north west of fronts we will
4:12 am
have to work very soon on the future relationship that the british people and the british government and british authorities want to be a with the european union and the people and the industries and the companies and the researchers and all the people on the european continent we seem to be looking at the u.k. as a place to have exchanges and relationships. i mean how do you read that most of us there from france it's almost as if she's saying this is all much ado about nothing after you know history does it end. and frank i couldn't understand you because there's so much noise behind us because the entitled to tears having a party here. just before parliament and not challenging and seeing as you can hear so i didn't lose you over it so it is here barbara virtually we're out of time but i think those people behind you i think they've called the spirit of the evening at least for this evening barbara before they are in london i mean why did
4:13 am
here at the big table with both of you thank you very much. well people in the bahamas have begun venturing outside and this is what hurricane dorian has left for a bit waist high water as far as the eye can see dorian the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the bahamas has claimed at least 5 lines but that number is expected to climb the storm not only slammed into the islands with winds at 300 kilometers an hour but it did it basically sat there for a day and a half dropping unimaginable amounts of rain. meteorologists say that dorian earlier today was moving at one kilometer per hour you and i we could walk faster than that snail's pace has apparently helped to weaken the storm dorian is now a category 2 hurricane and it's on its way to the u.s.
4:14 am
east coast the states of florida georgia and south carolina have issued evacuation orders durian is tied for the 2nd most powerful hurricane to ever be recorded in the atlantic ocean and it is one of the hardest to predict the models used by meteorologists continue to update and reissue the expected path of the storm which we see there but even now dorian could just as easily veer to the west and collide with florida instead of skirting the coast of the carolinas and going out to sea to die all right for more on this now we want to pull in the media ologists who is following the storm with us matthew compute she he is watching everything from washington d. c. good evening to you matthew i understand correct me if i'm wrong that there are more variables to consider. more than we would usually be considering when it comes
4:15 am
to predicting dorian's path we've heard of the bermuda high being a factor but that's just one to me what are these variables that are making it so hard to predict. yes so the remuda high is off the east right now and it's been sitting there and the question for a while was how close would that come to the coast that effects the steering currents that dorian will be susceptible to so there's that over the ohio valley there's a trough kind of a big area of low pressure and that scoop story not the closest and look to be kind of a squeeze play as to where dorian would ultimately go which system would control it more right now dorian is just sat for a little while because no system is picking it up but now it looks like doron will start to meander northwards eventually as it connects with that high pressure there's been a lot of talk about the predicted path. of the hurricane and what it means and whether or not people are misunderstanding what the cone is supposed to represent taught me a little bit about this i mean are people misreading what the media ologists are
4:16 am
predicting. i think that cone people look at that most say ok if i'm in the cone danger of out of the cone no danger at all and in reality the cone has nothing to do with how confident we are and we look at that we might think oh this is a range of possibilities instead the cone is just based on historical error from the national hurricane center so they look at all the paths of the last 5 years how well their forecast did and then that's how they determine the width of the cone so it really just shows different areas of the storm might go based on historical performance but torrence been tougher to predict than most hurricanes so don't take that cone too seriously take it with a grain of salt because dorian is much more unpredictable than that and you know i spoke with a climate scientist earlier today and he said that represents the new norm for the hurricane season that because the atlantic is warmer and also because you have more polar ice that's melting then a combination is fueling stronger storms and he told me tonight you know you can
4:17 am
expect at least one dorrian every season now i mean that's that's that's sobering news right because there's no way really the to make that not happen. to me that sounds a little bit extreme what i will say is that storms are likely to become stronger so have a couple of greens were watching you mentioned the warmer ocean waters hurricanes feed off this fuel this warm ocean waters really getting going so more of that will favor stronger hurricanes in the future we're not seeing a trend for more hurricanes but those that form will be stronger in addition you mentioned sea level rise so now if you have the ocean water rising so let's say half a meter over the course of 5060 years all of a sudden it's a lot easier for coastal areas to flood with the same storm so not only is a flooding and all the side effects getting worse but we're also seeing the storms get worse so there's that in addition for every degree celsius we increase in temperature of the atmosphere can hold 7 percent more water so when you have storms
4:18 am
like dorian stall they have that much more rainwater to tap into and you can get some extreme rainfall totals like we saw in 2017 with harvey so multifaceted threat going forward but the storm dynamics are really shifting and climate change is part of the costs. we know the a lot of people especially in the caribbean in the bahamas on the eastern seaboard of the united states they're going to be watching to see if they're in that cold to see what this hurricane does for the next couple of days all right it's good to have you on the show we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight thank you matthew. when the government of bangladesh is threatening to send tens of thousands of or hinge refugees to a remote island by force despite warnings from environmentalist and rights groups now these are the accommodations there on the island of boston charm and they have been especially constructive for the refugees the government says that it will
4:19 am
offer a new start for the rich but the low why an oil and which is in the bay of bengal you can see right there it is vulnerable to erosion and flooding and critics they've condemned the plan so how safe or unsafe is this on our correspondent naomi conrad was given access to the island she files this report. in the world's largest refugee camp in southern bangladesh fia is right 2 years ago the government welcomed the influx of breaking a feeling me and mom today it is planning to send tens of thousands of them to an island in an area prentice likely. thing that's not a matter we don't want to go to. because it gets flooded and then people will die children will be drowned for them it's another trap when i lose them lives if we go they will die help us to stay here and get it back it will let us but i don't we
4:20 am
lost our parents here to save our lives don't send us to pass on chalk just kill us here. off to lengthy negotiations with the authorities d.w. was taken to pass on charge by bangladesh navy which is overseeing the construction works to stay we were accompanied by naval offices it took us 3 hours to reach an a naval ship the sea was choppy but relatively calm so this time of the year. what is the longest period that you think ships might not be able to reach the. i didn't want really bad weather conditions leave the 2nd to a strong warning that maybe one or 2 days or 3 days max if not more that. we have. no to stop nobody will be evacuated from this. that is because the navy says they have built sufficient protection against floods and to ration including a 3 metre high embankment. inside
4:21 am
a space 410-0000 housed in clusters of identical shelters human rights organizations fear that refugees may be contained on the remote island for years. sometimes this island is described as a jail does that offend you yes. the people who. like floating island. and yes they don't understand where i learned they didn't see though i learn and they do more about. the islands 120 cyclists in shelters can be used as hospitals primary schools and community centers to provide security there will be police posts and cameras monitoring the island we were in part something to the they will remember it for be alive and if. we help them if they come here it is paradise for burma is there no doubt about that from
4:22 am
what we've seen conditions here do seem to be better than in coke's bazaar but questions remain around what daily life might be like will there be secondary education for young people what will they do all day can the refugees earn their own living and will they be able to leave the island without a special permit and of course what happens here when a cyclon hits. didn't exist 20 years ago islands in the bay of being called by sediments and make up an ever changing ecosystem we showed the footage we took to an expert in sea irrigation. so. be. it. there it. needs at least. to be.
4:23 am
without an embankment but on char would be too dangerous for habitation experts t w contacted disagreed with the barriers high enough but the government seems adamant to relocate trucking get to the island. that. we don't have space here. if they're not willing for them. and once the decision has been taken refugees could be relocated in a matter of weeks even against their will. and with me here in the studio now is naomi conrad who filed that report good to see you naomi i mean when you when you see these pictures you think well i mean that you know the refugees get brand new living accommodations it's much better than what they have right now right. well if you only look at the settlement then show it's a lot of bets i'm in the hearts and our we also spent some times are you know
4:24 am
stiflingly hot so we spent you know an hour or 2 in some of these interviews and it was really difficult but once you look at the bigger picture which is that this is a very low lying island in the cyclon prone area then suddenly the picture is quite different i mean and then we have questions of is the embankment high enough experts disagree so i can't give you a yes or no on that one but with rising sea levels and climate change cycles are most likely increase in frequency and intensity so there are a lot of questions than diffuse you know look at the bigger picture it's less clear whether the conditions of the people who support all of this i mean it's not up for . a decision i mean the the people will be moved you spoke with. the foreign minister about the relocation plans and he suggested that the rigid could be moved to the island even if the united nations objections was nobody told you. what is
4:25 am
the most extreme step you could take if the u.n. disagrees would you kick the un agencies out and why wouldn't we do. that since we will do so to be clear if they don't support your plan above and char you will tell them to we have to make a decision member will talk to them and see i mean that is straight talk coming from the foreign minister but he's telling you we will forcibly move these people what have been the reactions to that from the international community they've been quite muted so far in fact it was still waiting to hear back from the united nations they've declined to give us a comment so far because diplomatically this is incredibly sensitive. as we have i mean bangladesh would have the power to kick out all the un agency is but on the other hand they're floating the multimillion dollar bill. house the refugees to feed them to provide education so i think it's unlikely that they will actually full strength of the air but what they're doing is more subtle maybe making living
4:26 am
conditions in cox is on the refugees camps at the moment very difficult so they just yesterday they announced that they were forcing telecommunication providers to no longer provide internet and sim cards to refugees from all from the rest of the world exactly and from relatives that may still be living in me and mussina there are other ways to force refugees rather than send in tanks full of the army and if the coercion doesn't work and there aren't enough volunteers i mean how would the government go about forcing the are we talking about talking about tanks moving in or soldiers moving in and forcing the people picking the people up and moving i doubt they can do that politically i don't think we'll see we'll see that happening but what is clear is that it's a very difficult very tense situation the aid agencies haven't taken a decision yet by november they do actually have to decide on whether to include this in their planning for net. you know they're under incredible pressure at the
4:27 am
moment that's what u.n. sources told us off the record so it's a very fluid situation but i think a decision will have to be all will be taken off of the monsoon finishes which is in a couple of weeks you know very quickly and we can't i mean we thank you. well the day is almost done but the conversation continues online your find us on twitter either at u.w. news or you can follow me at t.v. don't forget to use the hash tag the day and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.
