i am. this is the news coming to you live from berlin about face uncle misleader carrier announces cropping the controversial extradition bill that has sparked months of on protests in the territory but will the won't be enough to the peace pro-democracy demonstrators. also coming up another grilling in parliament the british prime minister bars johnson a deal to stop was a defeat to respect the plan to challenge early opposition to accept an election next month but get accused of trickery. and xenophobia models peeps across south

africa 7 people are dead after rioters attack on only businesses and marking but at . last the devastation in the bahamas the scale of the disaster caused by hurricane dorian begins to emerge tens of thousands of homes are being destroyed huge numbers of people on the dock food and. other unwelcome i'm on but that she hong kong's leader has bowed to demands of pro-democracy protesters under drawn a controversial extradition bill the law was sparked months of till mornin the territory under the law suspects could have been tried in courts run by the con the spotty in mainland china leader kerry lamb announced a decision in a televised address. the quitting when the government of the special administrative region will officially withdraw the bill and eradicate the ruiz of the people the

security chief will propose and motion to withdraw on the bill after the legislative meeting is back to kill a whole on what happened in the last 2 months has shocked and saddened the hong kong people and made everyone worried and upset about hong kong. everyone is worried and hopes to resolve the current situation i got the whole silk up. and for the very latest i'm joined now by william yang in hong kong will a surprise statement by hong kong need to carry number what do you make of it and why is it coming it a coming out non do you think so i'm retired as we know tensions on the streets of hong kong has been really escalating over the last few weeks and this whole movement has been on. people have been coming out for 13 weeks in a row so the government is worried that if this continues to go on the way that it is right now hong kong society is really going to fall apart and i'm

a rule of law is really going to be nonexistent anymore so they believe that this is the easiest way for the government to appease the anger within khalq of civil society right now. trauma and true democracy activists joshua long came out today saying that the lambs announcement was a little too little too late it's this listen to some of what to what he had to say when it is clear that our protests must call them you know 1st of all the child us national day we strongly aware of the tactics behind beijing government beijing china is a fraud news just strike you saw the protests but i don't think it's such a draw with droll. at best just though a strategy for beijing hope to. reduce the number of participant protests in the next few weeks in specially on 1st of october. so william a joshua one says all this is just

a strategy where do you see this going what needs to happen for these protests to end. so many reactions have come out of popular social media platforms and telegram and as well as a proto marker seat legislator have also come out to basically a highlight the fact that the withdrawal of the bill does not really solve all the demands that the protesters making over the last 3 months they have made by command and this is only one of them so the most important thing right now they believe is what the governments are really address the issue of police brutality which has really played the hong kong civil society at the moment. mainly jewish 11 the sense of openness is a german chancellor angela merkel today i'll skin for her head what does he expect from her. so as we know. is expecting to meet chinese president xi jinping very soon and hong kong protesters have been very good at.

rally support from international communities so i think he is using this open letter as a chance to really push the german chancellor to really. 5 raise the issue of hong kong and then express her concern over the situation right now to the chinese president right a william in hong kong thank you very much for the latest on the developments there . this is fun johnson is facing a 2nd bottom entry showdown today over his banks and strategy he's opposition lawmakers to back from snap election on the 15th of october if as expected no makers move to possibility prevent the trade said today he said the young positions bill would undermine the country's ability to pay has a european union. for the vein it solicit me join our correspondents seana thoughts in london and terry shows in brussels but 1st

a pm has gone through a kit let's have the 4 let's take a listen b. say to a q. and a which bars johnson what he had to say a short while ago the only thing that standing is standing you know it all away is the under more any of these negotiations by this surrender bill which would be to move and we delayed in march we delayed it a bit and now we want to that he wants to delay again for absolutely no purpose whatever you want to see in trade by that we are spending in this cup we're spending a 1000000000 pounds to put 20000 new police officers on the street wasn't was. he able to speed police car use i'm not going there to 3000 years beyond i take it to 35 and i will never allow it i was. ok and sunny let me start with you we heard of a feisty statement by boris johnson in the house of commons earlier tell us what is

at stake in the british parliament today. rita absolutely a very heated debate there again questions and answers for boris johnson there and one thing we can say is that parliament is just extremely divided those that want the breaks the those that are against breck said those that want a 2nd referendum those that want break said but are opposed to no deal and it remains that parliament is extremely divided now one thing that they do seem to be able to rally behind is the bill that is on the table today and that would prevent boris johnson from from taking the country out of the european union without a deal on october 31st so this bill would basically force boris johnson to go to the european union and ask for an extension and this time around that would be

until january 31st so a 3 month extension and boris johnson if this bill is successful would have to ask the european union for that and to me in brussels what do these developments in london mean for the e.u. in preparations for braggs it. you site still continues to say that it is waiting on london to get its mind made up to quell all this chaos and come back to brussels with a clear plan on how it wants to approach bracks and on whether it truly will try to get out on october 31st and that's very much up in the air but in the meantime the european union is basically preparing for a hard for preparing there to be a departure of british of the british government with no deal and toward that end today it released what it's calling its final preparedness checklist it's reminding everyone in the other 27 e.u. countries businesses and citizens alike of what it will mean if there's no deal of

of what new labeling you know requirements there will be of what new localization rules may or may apply to workers and even how there will be differences in how their private data is treated if britain crosses out without a deal so here they're basically going on worst case scenario that nothing will be arranged rhinestone issues in brussels and shell the balance in london thank you both very much. and to make sense of what is happening in the house of commons and in british politics strive to have a briggs it analyst on this for us watching with me hi alex so tell us what alternatives does boris johnson still have to get his way or you think he would still be trying to put pressure on those who represent peace but last night he said those rebel m.p.'s 21 of them 20 of whom used to be ministers for the conservative party so he can put pressure on them it looks like it is going to go through the house of commons tonight but it still then has to go through the house of lords

that's the 2nd chamber the opposite and there will be a lot of pressure put on by government to try to persuade those conservative lords to what's called filibuster to keep talking to try to talk this out so that it doesn't become law because everything is about timing this week next week remember parliament is suspended that is what was decided by the government last week so it is all about timing if it goes through the house of lords it still needs to have what's called royal assent that means it has to be signed off by the queen now that is the possibility that against or convention boris johnson and his team could try to slow down the process if it doesn't get sent by friday and when the suspension of prioritization happens that bill is no longer around full so there is still much that he can do his main thing he wants though as he keeps saying is a general election despite having said over the past few days i don't it's very

clear he does but can he get it he needs 2 thirds of m.p.'s in parliament just support him on that exactly and to get the stupid of m.p.'s he'll have to get the little body to support him with the leader of the livability jim mccoll would agree to that a very good question and at the moment it's very clear he wants a general election but at the moment he doesn't seem to be adhering to that core from boris johnson because. they are sticking by this rebel alliance and saying we've got to get this no deal breck's it bill through parliament before we can start talking about an election but pressure is on him not least from his own m. pays him particularly those on his front bench but also by all the parties the scottish nationalists in scotland they're desperate for an election and they will be putting pressure on jeremy corbyn to say yes we'll go for an election but we need to set the date is the problem is can they guarantee that boris johnson or his those people around him a very strong

a will and here to any date that he's set there is still a lot to play for with in parliament right unexperienced wanting to thank you very much for shedding light on this rather complicated issue at the moment. let me bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wad iran has announced that it was released 7 crew members of a detained british flags tanka the stand and pedal the ship was detained by iran's revolutionary guards in the strait of hormuz in july 2 weeks after britain seize an iranian time off the coast of jindo into. russian president vladimir putin as veteran did die in this in the 10s or more the for talks on boosting investment and trade the 2 met in the run up to the eastern economic forum which russia's hosting invited us talks which aims to build step bought the ships with asian countries. says isn't an easy to have valley to demand the release of media tycoon a presidential candidate now believed god read this after

been killed scores more injured. when people get the feeling like there i don't think my god little bug didn't go might work for me this is the water. the country's agricultural minister film dries in floodwaters in his own house. he said some areas a 7 in the hof meters under water. so. but most residents don't live in such grand houses many have lost their homes and possibly their lives countless people are still missing. in the mid surface to start tragedy in town and some of our northern bahamas. our mission and focus now is search and rescue and recovery and meanwhile the u.s. state of florida has been preparing for dorian's arrival people in vulnerable areas

have been ordered to leave their homes the national guard has been deployed even if the hurricane doesn't end up hitting florida as hard as expected the state's governor has warned the storm shouldn't be underestimated we think this is a much better track than we were looking at 72 hours ago we just asked people to stay safe remain vigilant. but not everyone is taking things a seriously. and some that choosing to remain calm. yeah we're ready my house been here since 57 tell. me i'm ready we're having floods. he's almost up my new step and again i can swim. a float. but these images might just instill some respect this is dorian as seen from the international space station the hurricane has a diameter of some 450 kilometers hugely unpredictable into structed force.

10 and now to south africa at least 5 people have been killed in drive stagnating migrant workers and foreign owned businesses it's a latest outbreak of violence against immigrants in johannesburg and thought of the trend of hostility to was foreign workers in the country president. has condemned the attacks. taking to the streets to vent their frustration against foreigners starting on sunday mobs of protestors turned violent looting shops and attacking immigrant shopkeepers and workers. police patrolled the city trying to restore calm they fired rubber bullets to disperse protesters. dozens have been arrested since monday the violence has also spread to the capital pretoria and to the township of alexandra in northeastern johannesburg residents started the work of cleaning up

their plundered shops and regional authorities expressed their frustration yes it is important that we strengthen border security to it but we can't do so without its own that he thought into xenophobia we can do so we thought that the fire lends it and we can do so without allowing that he knows we want to use this in 2 ways for the old sense it's been it's the. president cyril ramaphosa has also condemned the violence migrants from other african countries come to south africa searching for work authorities have not ruled out using armed force to stop the protests if the attacks on foreign workers continue. or joining me now from johannesburg correspondent. welcome to sena what's the situation there like right now have to calm down a bit. it's to come the situation here in johannesburg and in other places where we haven't had anything that's and to watch

especially looking at what we've been seeing in the past days there for now it is calm people going about their business is students going to wake and people also moving in town but what we recognize is that when we got into town in the city of johannesburg the shops of foreign nationals are closed because the looters had threatened to that they are going to come in numbers and it was big to try and loot again because they are saying for now as he killed 2 of their own people last night but for now it is calm until this century so most is driving this wave of violence . if you speak to most of these people that they will tell you that the foreigners are taking the employment unemployment in south africa is very high of a 27 percent or they they say they believe if foreigners go they're going to take over the jobs that the foreigners are waking now some of them are saying before now is up to take in trucks here they are drugs and she has been pretoria and they

believe that the foreigners up behind that and some of them will tell you that to most of this woman as i legally in the country so they want them to go but reports it was rights organizations that came out in a press conference a a yesterday saying no it is the government officials that are speaking and to michael in sentiments and these people are just getting out instructions they believe michael to be talkative and this is why it is happening. other countries have also reacted to this nonsense in south africa what have they been saying and doing. this is a big problem for president obama posada who is last thing and number of presidents from africa at the world economic forum in kept town we have heard that in nigeria people started also vandalizing shops that you don't sell to africa shoprite is infected and. empty in there which is a nitwit company in zambia also we had that there were some attempts to attack a dignitaries from south africa here so it means this country is very angry also it

what is happening here and you understand them because if you go to these places where the looting and vandalization to place it one place you'll find a fleet of 100 cars all bent and set on fire and i spoke to one and they get in a business person who says they put a gun on his head and asked him to head of a keys for about a dozen of cars and they just drove them always so you could understand that the countries are very angry as well as what is happening to their nationals here in south africa did you know because well into the commando into hands that thank you very much. now to france at the center of the legal battle between 2 neighbors a retired couple the owner of a cockerel for noise pollution they claim the roosters crowing adorn is too loud and disturbs sleep again this is being seen as a confrontation between the rural and urban way of life the court is due to make

a decision on the case this week. a quiet lunch with morris who could be france's most famous cockerel his owner coreen fares or has lived on the island of all over all for 35 years she points out the holiday home owned by the neighbors who are suing her they allege that morris is dawn cool at 5 am every morning is noise pollution madame fizzle sees this as an attack on the rural way of life. was unusual promise a fairy food that i'm not going to let myself be pushed around all our elected officials back me it's a big problem people have to understand that in the city they used to city noises but in the countryside there are other noises that have always been that and that then normal really. more the case has attracted a lot of attention the feds also have received messages of support from us far away

as the us in the region. and from europe. the french island of all our own is a popular holiday resort for most of the year just 7000 people live here but in some of the population swells to 5 times that the court case hinges on whether the island can be classified as a rural area or a semi urban one many visitors are surprised that the case even made it to court. if i could be these people who come from paris and complain about the rooster i shouldn't even be a lawsuit i just want to beat them up it's unacceptable this is all stupid. i think again it's a part of daily life and hearing a restock i was part of life. pretty nice to hear an animal express themselves now it's down to the court to decide whether morris is cry is noise pollution or

whether it's just a load of cock a doodle doo. doo sport in the rugby world cup begins in japan this month and players have been advised to cover up the tattoos that's because in japan tattoos has been linked to cry but some of the country's help the tournament is a chance to break the tattoo taboo. arriving in japan the world's best rugby players bring with them something that the country is that much accustomed to their tattoos they've long been associated with criminality in japan to be inked suggests links with yahoo is a crime syndicates for polynesians tattoos have a very different meaning many new zealand players wear them in tribute to their maori heritage they have some adjusting to do. it's funny 1st they were here we went to a gym and we wanted to cover ups it was
