the at. this is deja news coming to you live from bali and the waiting game the e.u. delays his decision on a briggs extension. does meeting the chief brit's of the goes here to michele banyak agreed that an extension is needed but they failed to see how long they're prepared to delay the u.k.'s departure. also coming up. tens of thousands of people in the u.s. state of california are fleeing fast moving fire is just one day after the state experienced the deadly fires in its history. and the pull of populism our reporter
4:01 pm
visits the germans to. the far right f. g.'s could deliver another stinging build a chance bank of america in regional elections on sunday. how unwelcome up is it to have your company i'm a but actually how long will the european union's latest extension be that's what the british government and the opposition are waiting anxiously to find out from minister boris johnson wants only a short extension until mid november he thinks that pressure on parliament to possibly exit deal with the e.u. leaders nostri johnson wants to get his deal through and then hold an early general election in december. now the e.u. says she's pregnant negotiator michel barnier has been keeping tight lipped
4:02 pm
deliberations so far today. the newcomers are just going to say when you embrace it you. will be used to going to. the meeting 1st but the little bit decisions are enormous on the. plate. so let me go and our correspondents seana thoughts in london and gov matus in brussels so until after today's e.u. meeting we still don't know how long the delay to breaks it will be outline exactly what investors have decided today. here's what we know and rita you sources have told me that in principle all u.s. basons have agreed that there will be an extension for the u.k. as you have pointed out we don't know how long that extension will be that they will work out of the weekend and they also have full agreement on the fact that they do not need another special summit in order to agree on such an extension but
4:03 pm
they will wait until the early next week it's what sources here say until they decide about over the length of that extension so sharp what does this is decision on the lack of actually saying how long this extension will be mean for boris johnson. well boris johnson has said once that he'd rather be dead in a ditch than ask the e.u. for an extension of course that has happened and the government admitted for the 1st time this morning that this deadline of the 31st of october is not doable and now boris johnson wants a general election he wants parliament to vote on it on monday and for that you would need a 2 thirds majority in parliament and now this is where it becomes really tricky because opposition parties would need to agree to a general election and they say that they want the e.u. 1st to say we grant this extension of 3 months before they decide to back
4:04 pm
a general election so here we run into this problem of chicken and egg westminster ones clarity from the e.u. but the european union ones clarity from westminster so you know we've heard this chicken leg situation now from charlotte is the block united or well course on drugs the door did divisions prevent them from agreeing on a full extension day to day and how long that extension should be. very often in brussels you speak about divisions on the part of the european union and that those 2728 member states in that case i wouldn't i wouldn't use that use that word i would rather say it's looking for the right tactics looking into the choreography of this monumental mess that bret's it has created and making sure that the e.u. is not direct interest the french concern is that they only want to ground an extension if there's a good reason for instance the general election on the table that we'll have to see on monday whether that as charlotte has pointed out becomes
4:05 pm
a reality and that would be a good reason to grant an extension the concern really is the e.u. does not want to get it given extension that drags on for ever so so there's quite a bit of a bracks if a frantic here really in brussels and as you said boris johnson is desperate to get an early election is more about his strategy here. well boris johnson wants to get a clear mandate from the british public that they say look we agree with your deal that you have negotiated we agree with your strategy and with that he wants to shake up the numbers and column and get a majority of that to then finally pass his deal so that is his strategy that is why he's pushing for it the question of is here in the u.k. of parliament doesn't agree on a general election on monday what happens then and the government has said very unconservative leigh let's say we'll go on strike we'll pull the bill we don't do
4:06 pm
anything anymore so we could be looking at another standstill here in the u.k. starting on monday i shall have votes in london. in brussels thank you both very much. the years of brics a debate have led to unprecedented levels of poorna rise asian and british society and to some very extreme talk about academics recently found that a majority of voters in both sides of the debate think the risk of violence against members of parliament is quote a price for paying to get their desired. and london correspondent may get mosse takes a look at the everyday threats from lawmakers as a result of the brics a debate. that you're back on very very hard to predict. there is a crowd outside the palace of westminster every day made up of both angry leavers and remain ors the police often have to intervene m.p.'s arriving for work face
4:07 pm
brutal abuse and sometimes even physical attack. leader of the bracks a party had a milkshake thrown at him earlier this year a relatively harmless incident compared to what other politicians have experienced . threats including a death threat to several death threats. by the police in a meeting recently with some other senior colleagues. we've all had death threats. including tom brake. the liberal democrat is a staunch opponent of breck's it. one facebook page contain comments suggesting he should be strangled. it varies from low level abuse to death threats are suspect probably every other member of parliament in the house of commons has had death threats and there's no doubt that these things have got worse
4:08 pm
since the referendum mediately after the referendum there was a very clear increase. 3 years ago labor m.p. jo cards was murdered on the way to a drop in in her constituency. her attacker has links to a neo nazi group. members of the opposition also blame the prime minister. placing this talk of capitulation and surrender is fueling hatred. but prime minister boris johnson merely dismisses threats of violence against m.p.'s as humbug contagious. i have to say to just be cried never heard such homebodies obama . britain's divide between remainders and labour's grows ever starker many m.p.'s receive threats every day usually via facebook or twitter their references to hanging and firing squads civil war and gunning for blood there's no way of knowing if some of these users might perpetrate violence in the real world. liberal
4:09 pm
democrat tom break believes that the political culture needs to change the way back is for. i think in the u.k. to resolve the issue i think until this is dealt with one word then we will continue to see this level of aggression this sort of language used for now the brits it crisis remains ongoing and that makes all m.p.'s potential targets wherever they stand on the political spectrum. they've been having after they've been some other stories making news. british police have arrested 2 more people after $39.00 bodies were found in the back of a truck in southeastern england offices believe all the victims were chinese the latest arrests on suspicion of manslaughter and trafficking come as police continue to question the truck driver on suspicion of murder. iraqi officials say

at least 4 people have been killed and hundreds wounded during demonstrations in the capital baghdad the protesters are demanding an end to widespread corruption and high unemployment earlier this month a $150.00. of a kid and thousands more injured in a police crackdown on similar protests. hundreds of lebanese protests before friday prayers in the middle of a highway the move comes on the 9th day of a nationwide anti-government protests despite promises of reform stemmons traitors say the country's leaders are corrupt and must step down the unprecedented mass protests come amid a deepening economic crisis in lebanon. nato members including turkey and the united states have concluded a meeting in brussels turkey acting without its allies is creating a safe zone with joshua along its border with syria the united states pulled out its troops from positions in the border but the u.s.
4:11 pm
is now saying it will reinforce its military presence elsewhere in syria speaking at nato headquarters u.s. defense secretary mark esper said keeping some troops in syria is necessary to prevent islamic state capturing oil fields the alliance remains unified in our efforts to preserve the defeat of isis and we must work together to ensure there are able to reconstitute the united states we will maintain a reduced presence in syria to deny isis access to oil revenue as a reposition for the next space of defeat isis campaign. joining me now is teri schultz she's at the nato headquarters in brussels today what do you make off those comments by defense secretary esper i want to see a flip flop in u.s. strategy toward syria.
4:12 pm
i think if we're having a problem with that design to brussels teri schultz i think we have to leave it there because there's some problem with the line to you before you try and get that . line off and going again. but i'm sorry for that let's just move on to our next story it was only last year that california experiences deadliest and most destructive wildfires now flames are once again raging across the state in the los angeles area around 50000 people have been told to evacuate. moving fast through the canyons north of los angeles driven by high winds the wildfire in southern california broke out thursday mandatory evacuation orders are in place over 500 firefighters are battling the blaze backed by air tankers and helicopters. to not be loaded by that that you may not see an open flames right now because there are plenty of hot spots out in the internet will help us out all night trying to work
4:13 pm
on those hot spots and try to work and retrieve increasing or containment. the fires are not only raging in the los angeles area but also further north in the wine region of sonoma county where residents were evacuated to escape the fire. and that 1 30 in the morning i woke up and the mountain was on fire and so i woke up my husband and we checked it out and it was across the river lot of people i know lost their house in the previous fires and i know for people who already lost their houses on this one and it's just. it's a real big reality check in the past california so large just utility company p.g. and e. has been taught responsible for numerous wildfires in the state p.g. and e. said they are investigating whether their equipment had been involved in stoking the fire in sonoma valley to reduce the risk of accidental fires power cuts to
4:14 pm
hundreds of thousands of customers in california governor gavin newsome criticized the utilities for how they handled wildfire protection is infuriating beyond words . to live in a state as innovative and extraordinarily. and capable as the state of california to be living in an environment where we're seeing this kind of disruption in these kinds of blackouts with hot dry winds expected to hit california over the weekend and does not incite. voters legitimacy to go to the polls this weekend in the election that's shaping up into another crucial test for child's. body the far right if he has been polling strongly and could overtake the conservatives as the state's number 2 posse behind the post communist left body to ring it was spotted the former east germany before reunification in 1919 it's the only german state for the governing coalition headed
4:15 pm
by the left body did the report on a cock returns to her old home town effort to gauge the mood ahead of sunday's vote . to greek houses and narrow anyways just like in fairy tales i tried to talk about it with former classmates but then i noticed that most of the people i was friends with have moved away to big cities just like i did all of us right back saying it's a delicate topic society i hear it's bitterly divided but no one wants to talk to me about it on camera. to get an idea of what's going on now i go to an a if t. campaign event the far right edgy take consider the top candidate here he insults other parties and journalists too but can his constituency accept of opinions.
4:16 pm
or. if you have more i always look for an arena where i could influence people and if there is someone who doesn't want to accept this and then i'm sorry you consider the next table and drink his beer alone. when we have a family celebration sometimes we start arguing my wife keeps the arguments from escalating by changing the subject. i meet with bow to handle he has been the state premier of 3 for the past 5 years he's the only left party state premier in germany many think he's down to earth and he's pragmatic but while he was in office the a if t. succeeded in expanding its base so why couldn't the left party keep the f.t. in check and to put i try to keep them in check they began polarizing the constituency i want to talk to the people on the streets and i want an end to this polarization and i want to let the people know where we stand and where we're
4:17 pm
headed or know if they can vixen. the only problem is that the range is becoming increasingly polarized that's what left party supporters keep telling me. this is a small rebellion but it's not a small as we'd like it to be. some people irreconcilable if that speech is harsha more vicious and dimwitted my old hometown seems withdrawn and i fear of the stadia lections might make things worse. according to a poll to the left party with the board over i'm in or have the most support but might not succeed in forming a coalition government and no one wants to work with me a are they the federal state or federal of a political deadlock which would further deepen the social or trench. sometimes when i go back home i feel like a stranger. severe talking mother federal state in germany that is highly
4:18 pm
politically polarized a senior political correspondent joins me now to talk more about the situation the cons welcome this was why we seeing this level of polarization with bodies at the opposite ends of the political spectrum the far right and the left expected to make big gains paradoxically the support for both these parties feeds from similar sources during you know was part of east germany and people in that area of germany off to german unification feel left behind in some sense feel some sense of being 2nd class citizens and unified germany and this feeling of being left behind of being a 2nd class citizen feeds both into support for the left party and inserted into support for the right wing. of the traditionally the left party is a successor to the communist party that used to rule in east germany it was a protest party before but more recently there have has also gathered protest votes
4:19 pm
because of the migration coming into germany from foreign countries and that has strengthened that party but both of them in the same in a sense a protest parties now we are seeing those for jesting that the right wing populist the if he could win up to 20 percent of the votes could end up being a part of the recent government into the i think that's very very unlikely effect we can say that that will not be the case they are after all 2 other parties that are of a similar size are probably stronger that is the currently ruling left party and the christian democrats the conservatives over. angle americal and all other parties have said they will never go into government with the d. and into ring it that's especially important since this is a. particularly right wing its leader is someone who has one has to say fascist tendencies so the possibility of this party in this region being in any way respected by the other parties and taken into some sort of rooting coalition is impossible and do you think the election results in 2 didn't go has implications
4:20 pm
for johnson and america's government at the national level yes indeed what's important there is the question of how well or in fact how badly the social democrats to that's the coalition partner in america's national government the social democrats are likely to do very very badly in this region if the polls are to believed to be believed and that increases the pressure within that party to leave the coalition government because many people within the party feel that being part of the kurdish government is something that is not to the benefit of the social democrats but in fact one has to say in the end these discussions have been going on for a while they will continue to ring here as such is not going to be the decisive factor in whether or not this cardassian government at the national level continues right hands front thank you very much for sharing your political expertise with us . good madam it married men be allowed to have catholic priests that is want the
