would undermine his negotiating position. if you lost control prime minister heading for his 1st and possibly last prime minister's question 1st humiliating defeat last night boris johnson came out fighting kicking more than 20 rebels out of his party including winston churchill's grandson and site parliament he accused his opponents of tying the government's hands. for questions to the prime minister the only thing that standing is standing you know you know way is the undermining of this big ations by this surrender bill which would be to moot the that and we delayed in march we delayed in april and now we want to do it he wants to delay again for absolutely no purpose whatever i really fail to see how far i can be accused of undermining negotiations because no negotiations are taking right i.

these negotiations that he talks about a rush hour all he's doing is running down the clock or to seeking to break the deadlock johnson used an ill tempered session to repeat calls for fresh elections but the labor party wants to control the timing. johnson says they are running scared. is only one car in a cage she came in i can see the size of things i'm not ready. for. the people who decide that the people decide on what he's doing to this country's negotiating position by having a general election on october the p.p. since he was a boy he has dreamed of leading his country but now it's boris johnson's high stakes gamble to suspend parliament and deliver breaks it at any cost doesn't pay

off he may be the shortest $7.00 prime minister in history. well let's get the basis view of this ongoing drama from faisal in london 10 shots in brussels welcome both let's start with you bob a talk asserted today as to votes and their significance. i mean the 1st round of votes we're going to see now the deal that was the bill that is supposed to time boris johnson's hands that is supposed to make it impossible for him to crash britain out of the european union at the end of october without deal it would force him if it came into power it would force him to go back to the european summit on october 17th and say sorry about this things went wrong back home could you please give me a lot in the form of geisha that is something that doris jones will absolutely hate to do he will do anything to avoid it so the battle about this is still on but we're in the 1st part we're going to see in the next 23 hours 2 rounds of those

where the opposition and it reinforced by the tory rebels will push this last through then it will go into the lords and finally we'll have to get the formula sent of the queen and then it could come into force at the beginning of next week. and if you don't like dense have mr johnson wants an election but he can call it by himself. he wants an election so he is going to call that election after the 2nd round of this voting tonight he has gone through the thought that he needs a 2 thirds majority now he has no majority whatsoever it's not talking about it too so it's majority and so he's going to lose that again so then the next sort of we get into the next stage of this sort of rocket engine that is meeting literally under british politics and he will come back next monday and try to push for an election again and then and in a different sort of procedure he needs only

a simple majority and we will see whether the opposition and the rebels hold together all whether he can manage then to pull it off. in brussels i mean request from britain for an extension would have to be signed off by the $27.00 of us how they might view such a request. that's right and phil earlier when we spoke i said that i thought they would probably be fairly amenable to such a request because the european union would be half happy of breck's it were called off all together and giving them a 3 month extension to possibly ease some of the burdens of bracks and the financial implications all the problems it's going to cause would seem like a rather small price to pay but just in the last couple of hours the finnish prime minister with finland being the president of the european union at the moment he said to his parliament that he doesn't think the other $27.00 e.u. leaders would be so open to giving britain an extension because he says we don't

see any reason why if it's just 3 more months of what we're seeing today all this chaos all this division what would be the use of dragging it on for 3 more months so that would be something where the e.u. and boris johnson might actually be on the same page in saying that an extension isn't worth it bob reversal in london people are always looking for some sort of conspiracy and one of the theories doing the rounds is that a new election was always what mr johnson a wanted all along. yes absolutely i many many here say this is sort of the strategy behind the tactics that we're seeing at the moment that this is what he wanted because he started into the job without being elected it was only his own tory party who voted for him and he didn't have a majority yesterday he still had like one vote up he was the one vote and then within a few hours that this whole of the completely so he does need a majority if he wants to govern in any way and he won sort of to sort of push to

push the issue of cracks it and use that like a battering ram to sort of polarize politics in britain to the extent that he could probably possibly gain an election and have his own majority in parliament but many courses here look at the statistics and then look at the figures had never been talking to some people and they say we don't know about that it could end up in just a hung parliament if boris johnson is unlucky all the opposition sort of can hold its own proviso in london televisual same brush thank you. now we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world it's always prime minister just up the culture has announced a new cabinet to lead a new populist and center left coalition which includes the 5 star movement leader there which demaio a foreign minister a controversial of far right leader has been replaced as the interior minister by a technocrat a new channel of lumber gates. russian president vladimir putin has met with the
