firefighters battling a blaze near sydney or killed as crews work to contain more than 105 was fuelled by record temperatures and highway. police in india tackles renewed nationwide protests against. a controversial new citizenship 11 people died of breast thousands in just up to 10. i'm sure the program british prime minister barak's johnson has won the backing of more makers for his bracks and bill to take britain out of the european union today's vote comes after the conservative leader secured a big majority in last week's general election the bill passed 358 votes to 234 with focusing largely along party lines government for one b.n.

that. on the bricks issue i think being unable to pass the legislation previously is the moment the result was announced. it was to the right for $358.00 the nerves of the left were $234.00 so the eyes have it the eyes. try to london and i would join because from the bottom of a hole outside houses of parliament welcome barbara does this results mean that breaks it is now done. almost it's on the way to being done and the sense of boris johnson that means that britain is going to leave the european union on the 3031st of january. and then triumphantly full of conservative the parliament areas that we just saw and heard again means let go of all hope for those who had opposed breaks it the protest movement and of

course deal position which try to sort of wrangle concessions for soft of rexx it up maybe a 2nd referendum for months and months on end we remember this fractious year in british politics but all that is now coming to an end because the rest is mere formality there are some form of hurdles to overcome that in the end nothing now stands in the way of forest johnson and his threats it stay with us barbara we're going to take a closer look of the withdrawal agreement behind this legislation which has been 3 and a half years in the making. the divorce deal settles the divisions of assets and liabilities it also guarantees the rights of e.u. citizens living in britain and yuki citizens in e.u. countries and finally set so the future for the vexed irish border di lemma. proved to be the main sticking point in negotiations how to handle trade a long the northern ireland border between the u.k.

and each member ireland the proposed backstop arrangement was removed in favor of a solution whereby northern ireland will maintain free movement of goods across the border. avoiding a hard border with customs post was seen as essential for protecting peace in northern ireland under the good friday agreement but the future trading relationship between the u.k. and e.u. remains to be hammered out after britain leaves the block on january 31st 2020 it will adhere to rules during a transition period until the end of the year. that means the risk of a new deal hard bragg's it remains britain and the e.u. cannot agree and new trade deal by the end of 2020 e.u. diplomats one that's a process that normally takes several years. in london barbara the whole issue divided the country over the last 3 years and did mr johnson's sweeping

election victory effectively settle this debate in the u.k. . if you look at it more closely at it so i mean we see that in absolute figures 46 percent of the british public had voted for boris johnson and his wrecks and that still doesn't mean an absolute majority so there will still be people and britain who regrets this would think this is a bad move who didn't want this will they sort of give up the public debate it is officially closed and forrest johnson even doesn't want to use the word bricks it anymore he said today let's talk about this anymore it will be done and we just turn back and look towards the future whatever bought the younger generation in britain who did not vote for boris johnson and his breaks it will they forgive him for it will they be reconciled to it it's not very likely after the shock is over come of this election result probably that you might rise again and so i say why

did all this have to happen i was starting to see reactions from from brussels you counsel present child michelle describes that today's vote as an important step in clarifying to london's relationship with brussels how much of a relief is this for europe. there is a certain amount of relief in some quarters in europe because the endless wrangling and the endless going around in circles embellish politics the complete insecurity about what is going to happen is now ending that is the one part of it on the other hand of course there will still be there were till the very end some people who didn't want breaks it and sue still had this secret hope that it somehow might don't happen but that is in the past now as we know now as to the future it is going to me be much more difficult than boris johnson makes out because what the european union also said is that if britain chooses not to stay at all aligned or

close to e.u. laws and regulation. then they will have they will have very little market axes say with the negotiations about the future relationship about the trade agreement that boris johnson now has to go for and they've might be much more fractures and they might become again is sort of reason for bitter divisions within the country and also with britain and the european union on the other side so this is not all peace this means it's just not a good beginning for the next phase of breaks it barbara who in london thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world britain's prince philip has been admitted to a london hospital for what buckingham palace says is a cautionary treatment of a preexisting condition row source told the media that the queen elizabeth's 98 year old husband was able to enter the hospital building on foot prints retired
