flares in barcelona the capital of spain's catalonia region is gripped by a 5th day of unrest after authorities jailed separatist leaders. omarion evanston it's good to have you with us. the u.k. is in for a dramatic day in a rare saturday session parliament will debate a new deal for leaving the european union it's boris johnson's last chance to fulfill his promise to leave by october 31st he needs enough and peace to support his deal or to agree on leaving without one if he can't get either of those options the prime minister will be forced to ask the e.u. for another extension new legislation or a fresh election could then follow. saturday could be the day

a majority of british parliamentarians accept terms of a divorce from the e.u. or maybe it won't be it's anything but certain that the deal will pass the house of commons the house remains as divided as ever on the issue ahead of the vote prime minister boris johnson urged m.p.'s to come together and back his brakes a deal. but i will say. of course all sides of the house to think about tomorrow night in which we've got this thing done and we've got it over the line because i think the nation will he a great sigh of relief the magic number for johnson is 320 votes but a combination of opposition m.p.'s former conservative party members and m.p.'s from the northern irish do you may stop him getting there i think it's very clear to them that we are not going to vote for this on saturday but as nigel says saturday is not the end saturday is not even the beginning of the haven't. said party leader. has called an m.p.'s to reject johnson's deal he wants fresh
8:03 am
elections that could help them shape a new brics a deal more to his liking. but this deal down here you know i think is going to thank. the vote will very likely be a close one its outcome could be historic or just another milestone on a long road and correspondent is standing by in london and she joins us now for more hello. so is it likely that john senate will manage to persuade enough m.p.'s to vote for the new. it's really too close to call and it's very very tight you've mentioned there is no majority in the house of commons so really the prime minister when he starts speaking he's going to make an impassioned plea to m.p.'s to to rally behind him in
8:04 am
just a few hours in the house of commons and i think the eyes will be on 2 groups of m.p.'s wrong one group of m.p.'s are crucial. have from his own party so far not backed any deal that's reason may has. she pleaded couldn't get anything through parliament and this is because bricks of leading m.p.'s from the own conservative party of prime minister. didn't really behind the deal now they might think that this breaks it even though it's maybe not the pure bret's of the clean bricks that they are hoping for that might be their last chance to get any breaks it and if they don't vote for it then maybe the turn of events will be completely different and who knows there might in the end just be a 2nd referendum so they might be moved willing than they have been in the pause to vote for the deal then the other people the other group of m.p.'s labor m.p.'s we
8:05 am
know that labor is going to whip the members not to vote for the deal there are. leave constituencies that have said that i going to defy the whip and these 2 groups of people that prime minister john really is hoping to get on his side are very good at well let's assume johnson does fail so what will happen then are we going to have to see another election take place. another election then seems inevitable if he doesn't succeed if he does britain that's going to leave no matter what's at the end of october however that seems unlikely we know that there is legislation in place paula meant ariens ones of course prime minister johnson to gun go to the e.u. and also for the extension well the e.u. doesn't really like kid balt it seems would be the outcome and then all through
8:06 am
woods most likely yes there would be another election. reporting for us from london thank you very much. let's get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world mexican authorities have admitted they failed to arrest one of the sons of el chapo the notorious drug lord serving a life sentence in the u.s. that's after cartel gunmen opened fire on security forces 8 people were killed and more than 20 injured in the crossfire before the police were forced to retreat chile's president has declared a state of emergency amid widespread protests there have been violent demonstrations in the capital santiago as well as massive fires in high rise buildings the protests started after the government announced a hike in city transportation fares. a 5 day pause in hostilities in northern syria agreed by turkey after negotiations with

the us only 2 days ago is looking shaky kurdish forces have accused turkish troops of carrying on attacks fighting appeared to continue in the border town of ras al-ain on friday turkish president erica wan has denied the attacks he is about to continue turkey's offensive in the region unless kurdish led fighters withdraw from a so-called safe zone 30 kilometers deep into syria so far there's been no sign of a pullout by the kurds. well here in the studio with me is author and journalist mark is because he's a middle east analyst and has written a book about syria and its neighboring countries thank you so much for joining us this morning so the european union for its part says this ceasefire deal is effectively a demand for kurdish capitulation can you see the kurds ever agreeing to leave the
8:08 am
region i don't think oh it's not only the region of the kurdish fighters of the wide p.g. but it's also the region of the kurdish people in northern syria and it's not possible that hundreds of thousands of people living there for years and decades just leave the area the deal does not include an answer to the question where shall the kurds go. well speaking about this area just on friday the turkish president said he's planning to create a much larger buffer zone or safe zone as he calls it than originally announced so can we really still speak about a buffer zone or is this effectively an invasion by turkey i would call that an invasion and the other one has never made a secret out of it that is that it is an invasion that's the 3rd invasion and 3 years by turkish forces into syria and what he himself has reached in the deal is
8:09 am
a green light to create zone of turkish influence in northern syria in a sovereign state and yes this is an invasion and not a safe zone under international terms well you mention his green light for turkey to begin this incursion that of course came after a phone call between the u.s. president donald trump and turkey's leader era to one the u.s. decided to withdraw its troops from the region and critics are saying this has in effect created a vacuum how do you see what's happening in this region. trump has betrayed the kurdish forces he has betrayed the kurdish people and effectively created a protector up for turkish forces but don't forget that iran and russia also profit from this decision by the us administration so trump always claims that he's fighting iran with all means but what he has created in northern syria is
8:10 am
a zone where russia and iran would take over power together with turkey so he has created the big mess where his biggest enemies profit from the most high journalist marcus big health thank you so much for coming in and sharing your insights with us thank you. to spain now where there's been another night of violence in the city of barcelona as catalan pro independence protesters clashed with police the semi autonomous region of catalonia has rebuked the country's supreme court for jailing its separatist leaders and general strike along with street protests have brought much of the region to a standstill with severe disruptions in public transportation and blocked roads and any resolution appears a long way off. as darkness descended on barcelona so too did violence. clashes between protesters and security
8:11 am
forces illuminated by pardoning makeshift barricades. sticks and stones trusses tear gas and rubber bullets. eventually the water cannon rolled then. it was a predictable and to a 5th day of protest in catalonia even if the vast majority of the half a 1000000 who marched had done so peacefully. over the past 3 nights what i've seen on the streets setting fires to things and essentially creating chaos is not what's the general populace of catalonia feels others see the violence as a means to an end. i'm against by a lens but it seems that violence gets more media bending and march this. morning formation about the real subject.
8:12 am
but not everyone is so keen on the media's presence i. rarely or the catalonian regional president condemned the violence. going on if you are sentenced to 100 years for staging a referendum. we need to vote on independence again. but some fear that will only make the situation worse. he cannot 3 days after this sentence tell people that he's going to put the ballots again on the streets because we saw what happened last time and we saw the reaction of the spanish government and we saw that this is going to only incites more violence police said 31 people were arrested as madrid delivered a warning. you know you think i'm an article. no i don't want to think that the
8:13 am
vandalism and the violence in catalonia is that will go unpunished yes you know one of the other is the cut on the city's walls the defiant reply you taught us that being peaceful is useless. as flames lit the streets of possible one after another night catalan independence has once again turned to political wildfire. well it's one of the biggest rivalries in sports england and australia face off later today in the quarterfinals of the rugby world cup in japan both are strong contenders by australia might know something about their opponent that could tip the balance in their favor how do you prepare against an opponent that you've lost to 6 times in a row that is australia stretch her record against england since 2016 but australia's players may have some insight knowledge having played with some of their opponents at club level. or their weaknesses by the way be telling everyone.

it was the now what you want your. money is a terrible snake of. george ford never pays very big. ben youngs isn't even the best rugby player in his family said a man in a country. that chicken journey may very weird and cold as if there is no it's. not the most useful information for quarterfinal rugby match in the world cup given that england will go into the game as favorites so what could possibly help australia cause the news that england have dropped they keep they make a george fort from the starting line up. with george jones in the $23.00. will we have the starting in the finishing to face going to finish 1st instead of starting australia may not have the upper hand against england but that won't stop the land from down under from exhausting our possibilities. you're
