a government that has no majority lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved prime minister boris johnson's call for a snap election on december 12th it will likely center on britain's departure from the european union with johnson hoping to secure a majority to finally get his brags of deal done the vote may be the last chance for british voters to have their say on the issue. finally something they could agree on britain needs a shake up. the our eyes to the right 438 the nose to the left at 20 so the eyes have it the ayes have it it was a moment of near unanimity and the most devoted of parliament. there is only one way to restore the esteem in which our democracy is held and to recover the respect to which parliament should be held by the people of this country and that

is finally to offer also to the judgment of the people of this country and i have to say johnson slipping fresh elections deliver him a majority to force through breaks it once and for all his opponent however will be campaigning on other issues labor backs a general election because we want this country to be rid of these reckless and destructive conservative government. a government a government that has caused more of our children to be living in poverty more pensioners to be in poverty and more peoples of a in work poverty. such themes may contrast with the mood in what will be the 1st christmas election since 1923 politicians have a job on their hands ring a weary electorate more preoccupied with shopping. and

i just i think disillusioned is the west but i think a lot of pressures paid to the situation say something's got to be right because i'm sick and tired is that most of the population of this country is sick and tired of brecht's it. patience is running out no with polls showing this election could result in another divided parliament the season of giving may well threw up some unexpected surprise. well for the very latest now let's cross over to london where our correspondent to get mass is standing by burger that britain is still deeply divided over breaks at how is a fresh elections supposed to settle the issue well boris johnson clearly hopes that he's having a new parliament after this election so he's been blaming parliament for digging defeat for not making brags that happen haldeman has really scrutinised boris johnson's government very hard and they forced him for example to an extension

to not leave the european union no idea and if a table but they really made him also an extension so boris johnson and parliament are really at loggerheads with each other and he's hoping that the new parliament will come with a clear conservative majority now in the polls that might be the case he is leading but we don't know whether this actually is going to town out the way he likes or whether at the end of this we are none the wiser. boris johnson and his conservatives are facing really strong opposition from a number of areas what sort of difficulties is he going to face going into this election with the especially against the against the labor party. well against the labor party they're going to campaign also on domestic issues they want to also tighten slightly away from direct campaigning on renationalisation

maybe on health service boris johnson has a lot to fear there also from niger for us say boris johnson's conservative government already trying to come across as the government that pushes brakes it's true however he hasn't made it happen yet and nicer for us with this new breads that party is a very effective campaigner who's more or less been campaigning for the last months so they might eat away votes on the right of the conservative party so it's not going to be plain sailing for boris johnson even though in the polls he is leading and has much better pinion proles also than he's direct opponent jeremy corbyn from the labor party ok so we've got a winter vote coming up december 12th close to christmas the 3rd election in 5 years or voters in the u.k. looking forward to the spirit. i think of you as voters most of them will have a deep sigh as and oh my god another election and i can't hear anything more about

bricks and so they really worn out by the whole political debate by the back and forth about brett said but i think a lot of people do feel very strongly about brecht said so in the end i think that they will come out and they will vote even though they might rather snuggle on the safe with a blanket when it's cold in december ok very good thank you so much our correspondent there in london. 5 some of the other stories making headlines around the world today thousands of anti-government demonstrators have taken to the streets in chile's capital santiago for a 12th day of protests demonstrators clashed with police who used tear gas and water cannon the protesters are demanding greater equality and better public services. the u.s. army officer a u.s. army officer says he heard donald trump press ukraine's leader to investigate his democratic rival joe biden colonel alexander been was so worried that he reported

remain 1000 stayed on the street into the night at the main protest camp close to the prime minister's headquarters they see her as a good nation is a victory but for them it is just the 1st step basically on the part of the of the world regards it that we need that so yes we need to start with there would be there would be a government. with the work that will be with this not just that that this administration has to change still insist that it must be that was stolen by political parties for 30 years i doubt there was earlier protests or celebrated the moments of the 1st big change so that political system was prime minister hariri announced to the nation that he was stepping down and. i am going to the presidential palace to submit the government's resignation to president michel our own and track people in all regions in response to the will of the many lebanese

people who have taken to the streets to demand change. but there are powerful forces in lebanon who are against the change the protesters are demanding. therefore hariri announce his resignation supporters of the shiite muslim political movements hezbollah and amal rampage through the main protest camp . lose the war so violent since protests started nearly 2 weeks ago. activists are back at that camp on are determined to continue their fight. hariri is departure has lifted their spirits but it may not be enough to end the country's turmoil. the protests 11 on were triggered by a tax plan that has since been withdrawn the demonstrators may. maybe angry at the current government but the country's problems are much deeper and much older

there's the country's struggling economy lebanon is deeply in debt and youth unemployment is that 37 percent the failing economy is putting pressure on public services their chronic problems with electricity the water supply and garbage collection another big issue is corruption lebanon is ranked $138.00 out of $180.00 on transparency international's corruption index and the country's intricate sectarian political system only complicates matters lebanon's political system mirrors sectarian divisions in the country the rules dictate that every major religion is represented but critics say that builds sectarian divisions into the fabric of government. correspondent basile read is in lebanon's capital beirut and joins us now so the protesters say they are fed up with governments. in lebanon sectarian form of government what are they offering or what

are they proposing as an alternative. they don't have. it often. they have the months the. government the new government to get taken government to establish new lows to billows. the bottom it as well do have a constitutional amendments that we got to got to get to issues the government that the government and what it meant that. will lead to civil state according to the protests of. the. taking the square and don't vote and some other major cities to follow up all these youth loan package ok the protesters have managed to achieve one thing they've gotten the resignation of the president president hariri has stepped back what impact is his resignation likely to have on the on the protest movement. even

think dition was salut by old professors and they said that. according to the protesters it's the 1st victim of the i'll do more things. you know and you are very low. to the elections and you take down the security individually. for the protests and they knew it they know that it's a long process they can't be achieved within that the or 14 day longer process that's why they are asking for your government with. some new government. with this new lows. you have. 7 states. ok now things turned quite violent in beirut there yesterday how volatile is the situation right now basile.

the army now is on the on the main gros main highways in lebanon to quit the old otherwise you would open it by force the some of the some of the 1st sisters all some. old police on the highways on the roads to. move out of the city to go they were supposed to stay actually of the 1st. key in the mission of the government so now they can often. do somehow to gain the economy the social. feel like little bit plus the question is not only it's you know it's like old only roads blocked me back except it's no since 14 days not the 1st time that

happened in. this city of lebanon. thank you very much for bringing us up to date there that was correspondent bustle revie in beirut thank you. now let's move on to washington to the united states at least boeing c.e.o. dennis miller board has faced intense grilling from u.s. senators over 2 crashes of $737.00 max jets senators pressed the limburg over whether boeing concealed information about a critical flight system linked to the crashes and burke admittedly that boeing had made mistakes. facebook is suing the israeli government surveillance group n.s.o. for allegedly using whatsapp to spy on lawyers journalists and human rights activists facebook says n.s.o. exploited a flaw in its whatsapp messaging service and it's those website says it applies rigorous ethical standards. the discovery of 39

bodies in a truck trailer near london last week has turned the spotlight on security at european ports through which millions of tons of freight pass every week most of the victims are thought to have come from vietnam and their journey to the u.k. took them through the belgian port of zipper ago now questions are being raised about security procedures there the reporters on the n s a and max sent this report from xavier. it's the end of a long work day truckers prepared to spend the night nears able to go port they'll be driving again tomorrow. they've been on edge since last week when 39 bodies were found in a truck that passes through here they worry that smugglers could use their containers to send migrants to the u.k. without their knowing truck or nickel that's going to claims it happened to one of his colleagues so 6 people got inside his truck yeah 6 people into

a mccormick police cars going to. program but this hasn't happened to you i am not denying these men no no no no just shows us the c.e.o. that he attaches to the back of each container he moves. you know the back door can't be opened without destroying the bolt was. still the gadget isn't foolproof and others at the truck park told us smugglers can always get around the security measures. as truckers settle in for the night dock workers continue to load the next ship bound for the u.k. . it's hard not to wonder whether one of these containers might be full of people. is able to get is one of the busiest trucking container ports in the world with 40000000 tons of goods passing through here annually security here is tight but authorities say that with so many containers coming and going it's impossible to make sure that humans are not being smuggled across these waters to england. every

truck delivering a container to the dock must pass through this kind of control point officials take several photos of the truck as well as of the driver and the license plate they checked the photos but no one here checks the seals that's up to the shipping companies and only about one out of every $100.00 trucks is x. rayed to check the cargo harbormaster peter dakota says the port authority cannot have an overview of what the trucks are carrying was able to get the budget and personnel that would create massive delays he says. it's good if you would be able to scan every single continue but where do you do that is it only in the port is that the only responsibility of the port or is the whole chain of logistic events involved in this i ask if he believes there are ways to stop the human smuggling and the deaths that often result but i think 1st of all we should do everything that is possible to avoid them that's one main thing but of course we're dealing with criminal activity and criminal activity and they are always one step

ahead unfortunately and if you tighten controls in the port then they will move somewhere else the local and national police declined to comment on their role in enforcing security it's a bargain. for now it seems that smugglers will continue to operate using this port as a key point in their clandestine and sometimes deadly industry. many parts of the world are becoming cashless society says digital payments with credit cards and other devices become faster and more convenient but people here in germany europe's strongest economy are bucking that trend here more than in any other european country cash is still very much king fiske most. of those. across europe many consumers are increasingly using digital payment methods except the germans more than half of the country's population can't imagine

going completely cashless far more than the european average german still want people to show them the money. why not i'm worried but it's easier to get ripped off when you use cards i prefer to have money on my wallet or to put money in this when it's really in the lead you have to use cash for everything i pay by card all the time but in germany that's not so common so you you should have cash i think it's because of the mentality or the way people think i respect that because i think it's always nice to have some money in your pocket but when i 1st came to germany. it took me some time to get used to it with me to take cards unfortunately no. paying cash maintains anonymity which is perhaps why the germans are so unwilling to give it up. business psychologist has been studying the popularity of cash payment in the german speaking world and its causes

a lot of the perfume considered there's an intense fear among us of cashews being drastically reduced or eliminated so you can see we don't want others to have too many and over us we want autonomy we want freedom and the practicality that using cash offers the bargain. but germans are slowly getting used to cashless payment methods 2018 was the 1st year when more transactions were done by payment cards than in cash. but each german has an average of around $100.00 euros in their wallet that flex their skepticism and it seems to be a particularly german skepticism many in britain for instance don't carry any cash at all they're increasingly paying without paper notes or coins like here at a market in london. even street performers are starting to switch from coins collected in a guitar case to cashless payment methods princess had trini has been busking in london for 2 years and always has his portable card reader with him he says the

cashless option makes people more likely to give him donations or even buy his c.d.'s. a couple of years ago. because i've noticed that loads of people are now carrying our all cash i decided to buy a portable card reader. that actually gave gave me a big they friends of mine called even britain's nonprofit institutions are joining the cashless age admission to the tate modern museum is free but museums are encouraged to make a donation which they can now do just by tapping. it watching the news just a reminder of the top stories that we're following for you today britain will be heading to the polls on just summer 12 after lawmakers voted to hold the snap election prime minister boris johnson had pushed for the election after failing to get his prices bill through parliament.
