by the. security measures we think will take place. but as it seems. now that the old the. old measures and packages made by the government to be announced in the next few hours what is known about the reforms that the government is promising at this point what can you tell us about those. one of the maids of. the banking sector. to take part of the. payout around. the $1000000000.00. to the members of parliament and. all the.

people. long ago. but the government didn't take any action on this. one the old. lebanon so all the. government. by another want the government know all there. was just wanted to ask you that given that kind of pressure on the government that we've seen already foreign ministers resign over the weekend can this government survive. in the general speaking yes it can survive. what's going to happen next they may. make you know in lebanon all the news papers and

lebanon. they said that. whether to go. we're going to get so. generally speaking the headlines. so what could be next. what the government going to move do what the government. squares. don't come bad with the going to have giant screens will follow to follow up old news coming from the cabinet ok and we'll be following that of course very closely with your help in beirut thank you so much thank you betty. british prime minister boris johnson will make a fresh attempt to win parliamentary backing for his last ditch brags that deal after another defeat on saturday despite promises that he wouldn't johnson was

forced to request a delay to bragg's it after m.p.'s postponed taking up his proposed deal to exit the european union by government wants to hold a so-called meaningful vote on the deals though it will be up to the speaker of the colemans prime minister whether it can go ahead. did obvious barbara visa will is following all the twists and turns in london and brussels she joins us now from london and barbara boris johnson is not giving up it seems what do you make of those around him who say that he can still get rates it done by october 31st. now he would say that terry wouldn't he and his people of course came out over the weekend said yes we have the numbers. one wonders whether they really counted because british newspapers spent all of sunday sort of calculating up and down and looking at spreadsheets self which problem in tarion might sort of

bend this way or that way and turn and so today they say it is too close to call if somebody just one single person has a problem and they're behind us or to change it 30 his or her mind over night it might still go the other way bought bought it is all in the hands off mr speaker john bercow the man who you know it's our tour so compellingly he will decide whether the government can bring the same motion again it did so on saturday and it was thwarted and they if they want to do it again today very close said to resume a half year ago you can just have parliament vote still you'd like the result so he might not allow it everything then will be pushed back to the film. morrow and boris johnson's plans will relieve. some of the suspense continues in london where does this leave brussels barbara or e.u. leaders inclined to give the u.k.

another extension or break. i mean in the end despite of all the tough talk of mongrel mccraw and junk car and some other people they will of course they're not going to be the party sort of pushing britain over the brink would they under no circumstances so they might be really really exasperated they might be looking at the spectacle of us in ever increasing sort of disbelief and lack of understanding but in the end of course they will but they are taking their time however they're leaving britain to sit is still in its own juices all through this week and only next week like 2 or 3 days before the brics a date will they then say ok if it's not going to work out real we'll just give you another 3 months but for heaven's sake get on with it what about efforts to hold another referendum barbara we're seeing momentum for that growing among german

among british voters but is that momentum also building in the british parliament. so lisa lowy because what the opposition and the rebel forces are now trying to do 1st that is throughout the week is sort of slap amendments on the wrist drawled bill that would implement rex it domestically and they can do that and so there might be support for instance to force forests on soon into a customs union support for a much softer breakfasted and in the end that might also be this is a pro says going from day to day in the end there might then be the support to say we cannot resolve this politically we just need to ask the people again even some leavers as some people who have supported price it now say it needs to go back to the people because we're just running in circles barbara thank you very much. barbara in london. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the

a nail biter for prime minister justin trudeau his campaign has been overshadowed by a series of errors that have raised allegations of racism and ethics violations recent polls show trudeau's liberals in a virtual dead heat with the conservatives and that could be good news for smaller parties like the left leaning new democratic party. in the lead up to kind of those elections it's been all but a smooth ride for prime minister justin trudeau his approval ratings drop to almost record lows and his liberal party is engaged in the neck and neck race with the conservatives both are polling at around 30 percent. despite a strong economy and low unemployment trudeau's popularity dipped after a series of scandals like this old photo of trudeau wearing blackface for his violation of conflict of interest rules. during the last weeks of

campaigning to do is been trying to make up for his missteps often attacking his main opponent the conservative party here's the question you have to ask yourself do you want 53000000000 dollars worth of conservative cuts or do you want a progressive government that will continue investing in families and investing in communities that's the choice it's that simple. and it's that important. it's not true those attacks aren't the only wary of conservative leader andrew here but he is also quite unpopular according to the polls in one of the closest races in recent years most of the conservatives and the liberals may not win a big enough majority to govern alone there. this is where jack meet seeing leader of the left leaning new democratic party could come into play with approval ratings soaring forest party saying could become the kingmaker

the training through anyone working with the public or we're trying to target the mandate community to get them nor can and i know for sure for a fact we had saved several lives just putting this in the hands of those who need a. brian overly completed the training but he tells me he never expected to needed here and his library he did when a visitor with symptoms of an overdose was discovered in the restroom the librarian used narcan to save his life we've never had anyone cross this line before we've had to call ambulances before we call the police sometimes but we've never had anyone fully pans out like this so it is perhaps more telling of. epidemic as a whole. that it is now becoming. visible.

merrylands ranks among the top 5 states in the u.s. in related overdose deaths it has seen a nearly 300 percent increase since 2010 they also were to spill the pharmaceutical companies have been fueling the crisis maryland's attorney general has filed charges against purdue pharma accusing the company of engaging in the sept of trade practices to sell highly addictive painkillers such as oxycontin the new it's addictive properties and the fact is that many people became addicted to heroin because they couldn't afford oxycontin they became addicted to turn opioid medications and switched to her own because it was cheaper maryland is just one example for how america is struggling with the epidemic cities and counties across the united states have filed thousands of lawsuits over the crisis targeting every facet of the health care industry from truck makers to pharmacists to individual

reigning champions by and so let's see how that all shook out hoffenheim welcome shell kids of the southwest looking for back to back wins off the last matchday shot victory of a boy and it would have to be a nother upset with devin wagner's side meeting just 3 points to go chop off the match day 8 and shall come in close off to just 3 minutes daniel caligiuri clipping the outside of the post with a sumptuous free kick close but not close enough. as they did against by and it was hoffenheim who struck 1st though alexander nubile could only parry from the last baby on break a march did the rest one nil to the hundreds. the croatians 1st goal of the season arriving in the 72nd minute. and they put the game to bed in the 85th minute babeu racing clear of the shellcode offense. before applying the finishing touch to wrap things up. not mad if ending from shell both on cloud 9.

to nail a final score down the darkness side holds it as the hoffenheim revival continues. we're on a 2nd time in a row that shall have had the opportunity to go top and then basically mess it up themselves ok we now have 9 teams just 2 points apart at the top what does this say about the level of the bundesliga right now well it's definitely an exciting time to be a bundesliga supporter i mean yes as you mentioned just 2 points separating 1st and 9th and that makes it shews a competitive next to the other leagues in europe let's take for example france where it's 10 points italy 11 and 13 points separating surprising for us tonight which isn't that uncommon i mean last season the bundesliga had 11 an 11 point gap at this point the season it does mean that there's a real lack of consistency of the top teams but we can take

a look at the table to see just how tight things are i mean munching a lot behind both for basically leading the pack which not a lot of people would have expected but all those teams that by and dortmund leipsic shock of freiburg are the exception but even later coups in frankfurt teams that you could conceivably see challenging at least in the top 6 if not the top 4 so as i say really exciting for bundesliga fans for neutrals and for fans of these clubs who are going to going to see a real title race it looks we have a full of the season played over see it's early days but a lot of teams struggling to find that extra bit of consistency and as i mentioned next to the other leagues where there's a huge gap where usually $1.00 to $2.00 maybe 3 teams are really competing for the title right now it's really interesting to see who will even be just going for those top 6 pots by the end of the season you're talking about consistency by and of course are in that mix at the top but i understand that all is not well in that area you know i mean i personally think they really made

a mistake this summer in leaving a very late with signings they had 2 very early defensive reforms reinforcements that they signed that they had 2 more needs must and then proactive planning and then very slow in the transfer market and made. late moves and now. this tossing sense of back has been injured he's got a crucial moment his 2nd crucial ligament of his career and that's really decisive because he's a defensive player who relies on his pace and strength and that can really affect you as a football player one of the worst injuries to have the reinforcements are the replacements for him that they have really leave a little bit to be desired for a title winning side or a side with those ambitions tomorrow choose day they're going to face olympiakos paris in the champions league where everything is going really well for them but it's 2 weeks now in the bundesliga to match days without a win so it's going to struggle for them max thank you so much to delhi as max mail from every sport. now brazilian photographer.
