anti austerity protests have brought the country to a standstill now the prime minister tells his people we hear your anger and we are taking action. last that familiar stroke of tiger woods is back the legendary golfer won this year's masters but then went under the knife for the 5th round of new surgery despite that woods is determined to win olympic gold. i'm calm ousmane welcome to the program we start in the u.k. with another breck's it twist house of commons speaker john bercow refusing to allow a vote on prime minister boris johnson's bracks said withdraw all agreements a day goes said that the government's argument to have another vote was not persuasive enough as it was too similar to the motion on saturday here's what the speaker said just a short time ago. today's motion is in substance the same as saturday's motion
5:02 pm
and the house has decided that matter today circumstances are in substance the same as saturday's circumstances my ruling is there although the motion will not be debated today as it would be repetitive and disorderly to do so. well our correspondent charlotte of ponce has been following the braxton twists and turns for us she joins us now live from london charlotte for a lot of walk us through this decision and what this latest delete delay means for johnson's deal. well johnson wanted parliament to have a straight up and down vote today on whether to accept his deal or not a yes or no question and this is not going to happen we just heard john bercow the speaker of the house it goes back to an old law from the 17th century that you can't ask parliament the same question twice and since johnson brought forward his
5:03 pm
vote a deal on a saturday already it wasn't voted on in the end he wasn't allowing this to day again so what we're most likely going to see is that tomorrow column and will hold a vote on the withdrawal agreement bill it's just a different term but it is $100.00 pages of complex proposals that need to be turned into british law and the problem there for the government is that the opposition will bring forward amendments again they will try to bring forward their own ideas on what they want breaks it to look like so we could see this bill amendments to it for example asking for a 2nd referendum attached to this bill whether to hold a 2nd referendum on johnson steel or the whether to remain in the european union and some want to hold an amendment that would see the u.k. closer aligned to the european union in a so-called customs union so it's going to be very interesting to see what is going
5:04 pm
to be brought forward in front of the house tomorrow then presumably another blow then to the prime minister have we heard any reaction yet from the government or from members of parliament. well so far not this decision just came out but i imagine that the government and most conservatives in parliament a furious about this yet another delay because it does make it very unlikely that breaks it will happen on october 31st and this is what the prime minister of course repeatedly swore to that the u.k. would leave by the deadline and the opposition i imagine is quite happy because this process drags on and it makes it possible for them to put down their own ideas forward on how they want to look like when time is getting tight now as it stands the bronx a deadline would be october 31st me how is this decision wifely to affect the entire timeline here. well theoretically you but really
5:05 pm
theoretically it would still be possible to rest if a deal in time for the u.k. to leave on october 31st but i think in reality it's just not possible anymore because of those amendments that i was talking about $100.00 pages that need to be turned into british law it's extremely complex and i don't see how this this stalemate in the british government is to pos so i think we will most likely see this drag on for a while the tail continues for a lot of ponce in london for us thank you very much. let's get you caught up now on some of the other stories making news around the world a court in london has refused to give wiki leaks founder julian assange more time to find his extradition to the u.s. u.s. wants to write songs to face espionage charges songs made headlines in 2010 when we keep leaks published hundreds of thousands of secret u.s. diplomatic documents. australia's major newspapers have published front pages that

5:07 pm
a rescue plan after 5 straight days of anti austerity protests outrage of new taxes and corruption has sparked the largest wave of dissent the country has seen in years. monday in central beirut protesters gather in martyrs square for a 5th day of protests on monday morning lebanon's government hurriedly passed a sweeping reform bill promising to end secrecy for politicians and cut ministers salaries in half. they want to appease both the protesters as well as middle eastern predators and western donors who dubbed taled with these historic demonstrations to voice their concerns about corruption lebanon is one of the most indebted countries in the world and this religiously diverse country is standing united in his condemnation of high unemployment poor public services and corruption . wanted these ministers and legislators should be thrown in jail they thieves they were begging for money from other countries on behalf of the lebanese but they then
5:08 pm
put the money in their own pockets because the money this government has done nothing but divide us as well as making us poor citizens must retain their dignity this is why we won't leave the streets without taking down the regime and forming a transitional government with exceptional powers to rebuild the country you. know . that. these protests show little sign of abating. over the weekend there were widespread calls for a jackal strike. and let's get more on this i'm joined now by our correspondent basile a radio he is in beirut for us now as we've heard the cabinet agreeing on a long list of reforms i mean just tell us a little bit what's on that list. for the protesters for you about all these. meet in the cabinet do you think it was just wrong this is. is. the golden summit is all the

ministers and m.p.'s 50 percent of the. banking sector will also be installed the jews. the national. states in $3200000000.00 and so are all. the main parties 2. the prime minister saud off to the cabinet meeting said that the new national budget will not include any new taxes but old these promises according to the protesters behind me. they don't think these promises into reality they said. on. the streets they go to school. because the nations of the government change the old regime and. they
5:10 pm
said they'd be. traffic the government would be much more about that and can do much more but that the current government especially the. announced by the prime minister saad how do you hold these promises could be. used to go not just because of the the amounts and because of the protest ups. given that and given the reaction from these protesters calling now for a new cabinet what can the government do why is there anything that you think they can promise or say now to stop these protests. prime minister saad how do you read about his prime minister mention the community that was not the protesters to be the streets it would never do that that's one. reason speech. they are going to stay in the seats no we have the dilemma what's next the government really winning people and is it able to hold the
5:11 pm
door and what of all the seats on the the protesters said that they were wrong take they won't budge peace promises no. what's next maybe it's not the politicians. who are but these government maybe they are counting the justice will be within your days they'll go back to the road to their homes and lot of anger in the streets still there basile already forest in beirut yes thank you very much. thank you. 7 ari turn our attention now to chile which is also reeling from 3 days of protests deadly violence and looting unrest in the capital santiago over the weekend as led to these 10 deaths with more than 1500 people being arrested and hike in public transport fares sparked that unrest it's now been canceled but protesters say their discontent runs much deeper and calls are out now for
5:12 pm
a general strike. more than 10000 soldiers and police officers have been deployed in santiago. chile's capital sense iago. protest started by students have exploded into much wider ranging violence. including writing. and some looting. several people have already been killed by fires and more than a 1000 people have been arrested. chile is under an official state of emergency. because we are at war against a powerful implacable enemy who does not respect anything or anyone. and who is willing to use violence in crime without any limits the. soldiers are on the
5:13 pm
streets for the 1st time in the early 30 years the 1st time since general pinochet's military units are. originally about a hike in public transport costs these protests and now about much more inequality and the cost of living. yes disappointing to come back to this rhetoric president pinera met with lawmakers and has pledged to reduce excessive inequality the writing has however divided people. especially the mass torching and destruction of santiago subway systems which ordinary people are now cleaning up. so let's see they say i was born and raised here so i saw them build all the metro stations and this metro should be for my grandchildren. or 10 should be for everyone at the world but at the level of some of that the local authorities say it will take months to fix meanwhile people are now stockpiling fuel for the week ahead as chile

braces for more of the same. and watching the news still to come brace and scandals have taken the shine off of canada's prime minister justin trudeau is in a close race against a conservative challenger with canadians going to the polls today. for a 1st car just led forces are withdrawing from towns in northern syria that's apparently in line with the cease fire deal that was brokered by the u.s. and turkey on pro wants to establish a so-called safe zone in the region and is demanding that kurdish forces withdraw completely u.s. and the kurds once of course fought together in syria now the kurds feel betrayed. by kurdish resident abuse and potatoes at their one time allies they say they're being left for dead traffic in the border town of commission was brought to a standstill as u.s. troops passed through heading to iraq leaving anger on betrayal and their wait.
5:15 pm
for a bad business like the car they started. to drop below the guard. to go but nobody knew. it was a different reception over the border. armored vehicles bearing the stars and stripes have begun arriving there they will be deployed to counter a result of the so-called islamic state but claims that the u.s. have abandoned the cards to a sense of still persist to go back to what our mission was our mission was to work with by with and through the to defeat isis. we believe we defeated the physical caliphate of the isis in march but nowhere in there was that we would fight a long standing nato ally. in defense of the currents to enable the establishment of an autonomous kurdish state. no kurdish forces are in a race to get out of northern syria ahead of a cease fire date line ambulances and vans were seen leaving. in suckled by turkish
5:16 pm
troops speaking in istanbul their president hinted at a continuation of the offensive once the truce ends on tuesday night. we have a trip to sochi russia. in this meeting we will take up this process with mr putin and after that god willing we will take the necessary steps. and further same's that moscow is looking to fill the void left by the us russian tromped they owned in another 2 city in times on sunday. of voting has begun in canada's national election and that's expected to be a nail biter for prime minister justin trudeau trudeau brought his family along with him as he cast his ballot his reelection campaign has been hobbled by allegations of racism and ethics violations recent polls show trudeau's liberals
5:17 pm
are in a virtual dead heat with the conservatives and that could be good news for smaller parties. let's take a look now at some of the problems incumbent prime minister has been face. 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 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
5:18 pm
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. but true those attacks aren't the only worry of conservative leader andrew scheer 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. this is where just me seeing a leader of the left leaning new democratic party could come into play with approval rating soaring for is party saying could become the kingmaker of canada's election as a prospective partner in a liberal minority government. and the potential kingmaker has taken his campaign to tick talk that's a lip sync popular with teenagers is of course
5:19 pm
a bid to reach those ever important voters d.w. reporter and millennial rebecca ritter's joins us with that story so for those normal one year olds out there what exactly is take talk well you say that but i might be showing my age here to say that i am till very recently also didn't i want to talk also don't feel ashamed if you're out there and you don't know what it is so i think it's a social video app for smartphone uses that lets you take little videos only around 15 seconds long they usually set to music a very popular particularly with teenage is you're talking about we have a clip of some recent trends of the thing. this is the skit that's the famous adele song someone there i go yeah exactly who has inspired a horrible challenge this year kind of it went off and hit this one here uses a cleaning up their environment under the hushed claims that there it is the snap
5:20 pm
was the one i mean using that hash tag so users create short videos they usually fall set to music special filters the app has hips and advanced editing tools and so it is quite a lot of fun now it's a lot more popular than you might think i was definitely surprised by these numbers it has more than one. 100000000 active uses every month that is more than twitter and snap chat combined mostly following challenges like bass so gummy bears i mean lots of teenagers not the place you might expect to find a politician campaigning i guess no but in the canadian actions judge me saying he's the leader of the new democratic party we met him in that report is that the end there he has released this video. so it's a live thing to the song choices by the american rapper 14 the clip shows saying gesturing to these bubbles is about his policy what he's for and against in this the lead up to this election now that had 1300000 viewers just in 124 hour period
5:21 pm
it's now been saying more than 2000000 times he's the only top candidate in the election that has a tick tock account but it has been getting some responses from even his opponents lisa wright she's the deputy leader of the conservative party in canada and she tweeted this response saying that she said she thought it was great basically but i have to add a little caveat that she might be supporting it because it actually would split the vote you know people who would then support me would not would not be going for. so so talk is this now the future of political campaigning should we forget about twitter for example well if we take canada as an example the upcoming elections they have video videos tagged with the various election hashtags got any more than $6000000.00 views and hashtags of justin trudeau $10000000.00 so it's devaney getting popular popularity in the arena twitter and facebook only politicians only
5:22 pm
rely on paid ads with twitter and facebook where to caucus that they will not accept any paid ads in fact they've basically said they want to keep it as a fun app they don't really don't want to become used in the political arena but i think they may not have a choice in this matter i mean some might argue that what can you get across in a little 15 2nd ad but people also said that about twitter and the 160 characters and look that has for better or worse for president from for example exactly right on social media continuing to evolve thank you. our sports now in golf great tiger woods has returned to action after 2 months away because of need surgery the injury prone athlete proved that he is in fact fit at a charity event in japan and his pain free return means that tiger is wearing to go as he bids for a 16th major title next year and his 1st olympic gold medal in april this year he's mosses troy rounded off one of the greatest comebacks in sports now
