berlin. tonight one blow after another for britain' prime ministers, parliament passing legislation that would make a no deal brexit illegal. prime mininister boris johnson fighting but they have groomomea bill that delays when the u.k. will leave the european union. jojohnson says all of this w wil prevent t him fromm briringing o deal brexiteers his negotiations with the -- no deal brexit in his negotiations with the european union.

hong kong's exhibition bill is no more. the chief executiti carrie lam says she is withdrawing the bill that sparked months of violent protests in the territory but will hurt concession be enough to appease demonstrators? the skill of the -- scale of the disaster in the bahamas is beginning to emerge, tens of thousands of homes destroyed, huge numbers of people without food. i'm brent goff. to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world, welcome. how long can i prime minister take the punches. the new prime minister boris johnson has suffered another conceit -- another defeats. lawmakers have passed a bill aimed at stopping a new deal brexit on the 31st of october

and delaying the departure date. johnson believes this ties his hands in his negotiations with the european union, so he is seeking a snap general election for the -- november 15. he hopes to fulfill his promise of leaving the european union with or without a deal at the end of october. the proposed law goes to the house of lords for consideration. johnson has slammed what is going on. >> is completely impossible for government to function if the house of commons refuses to pass anything the government reposes. in my view -- the government proposes. there must now be an election on tuesday the 15th of october, and i invite you to respond to which of us goes as prime minister in the crucial council on thursday the 17th.

i think it is very sad empties have voted like that -- sad mp's have voted like this. it is a dereliction of democratic duty. if i am still prime minister after tuesday, the 15th, we believe on the 31st of october with i hope a much better deal. brent: let's take this story to london. barbara wesel is on the story for us tonight. good evening. where do we go? the house of commons said yes to stopping preventing a no deal departure from the european union. what happens next? barbara: the house of commons has given it its best efforts to save the country as this side of the house says, save the country from a disorderly hard brexit at the end of october, something that would damage britain's

economy and was damaged its standing in europe. they have done their part. the bill goes to the house of lords where the funny scenes were seen earlier because some of the honorable ladies and gentlemen arrived with sleeping bags. it is going to be a long slog to push this bill through in the upper chamber because there will be ample resistance from the side of the efforts of boris johnson. that is what will happen now. the queen has to give her official ascent. by monday, this loss could come into force. brent: we have less than a week for all of it to happen. one thing that is going on, and the other is the prime minister wants through the elections on october 15. how widely is that he is going to get relevant to say yes to that?

-- get parliament to say yes to that? barbara: he came out kicking and screaming and was really in a relatively bad mood really visibly and said i will not do this under no circumstances will i condone this. then he said, i don't want elections. the country doesn't, but we need elections because only the people can decide who is going to sort of take them out of the european union. it is up to them to decide. now he is trying to push these elections through. now we are going to see another vote on these elections and he is going to lose yet another vote, because he needs a two thirds majority and doesn't even have a simple majority. he is heading for another delete -- another defeat, and that he will have to find other means of forcing this election. it will not be that easy because

the opposition says we are not playing your game or stepping into your traps. you are trying to circumvent this deal which takes, this bill which takes no deal off of the table. the two sides are sort of engaged in warfare and waiting for a mistake the other might make. brent: it sounds like if things go as you are deciding it -- describing it, if the house of lords and the queen said yes, there will be no no deal brexit and there will be no early election. this is a huge defeat for the prime minister. what recourse does prime minister johnson have after next week? barbara: it is not clear whether he will sort of refer to this law, whether he will honor it. he has insinuated a little while ago in parliament, and some of his supporters have done that, that he might ignore it.

something that was quite unheard of in britain in the past because people are used to playing to the rules, but boris johnson is throwing everything over and smashing the old system of rules and traditions here. if he doesn't do that, then of course parliament can go to court. how can you do -- force a prime minister to do something? he has enough possibility to force that. there is a different sort of procedure. he needs a simple majority. he will have to come back monday and try again. whether the opposition will help him out but nothing is for certain. brent: nothing is for certain, that is for sure. as always, thank you. dw's teri schultz is in brussels. i asked her how likely it is the european union will say yes to

another extension to britain's departure date. alex: should it -- teri: sure did get to that point, you would have to get the majority of the other 27 e.u. leaders to say they will grant that. i would have thought they would be fairly open to such a suggestion because they would like nothing better than for brexit to be reversed, for there to be enough time that a second vote could be taken, that somemehow this whohole thing cod be leftt behind like a bad drea, but the finnish prime minister, president of the european union, was speaking, and he didn't think peoplele were that inteterested in granting an extension.n. looking at t the chaos, seeieine u.k. has not come withth any new proposals on how they would get a deal to get an orderly brexit, he said why would we extend this any further?

brent: we still don't know what if anything boris johnson would have to present to the european union. today that you use chief direction negotiator -- the e.u.'s chief negotiator said david frost had promised and failed to deliver any concrete proposals. wondering what is the mood in brussels with that. teri: michel barnier says it is in a state of paralysis. we talked about this so many times we could replay it, that he you is waiting for the u.k. to come with some alternative proposals to the withdrawal agreement agreed last year. so far that hasn't happened. the british government asked for the case of talks to pick up -- pace of talks to pick up. we are all years. -- ears. michel barnier said he did not hear anything new from david

frost. having watched what is going on, i guess it is not surprising any clear path forward has not emerged. brent: confusion and paralysis as you said. teri schultz, thank you. here are some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. italy's prime minister has announced a new cabinet to lead a populist and centerleft coalition including five start movement leader luigi demaio as the country's foreign minister. matteo salvini has been replaced as interior minister by a technocrat. securityty has been stepped up n south africa and nigeria after attacks on foreign owned businesses in johannesburg and reprisals against south african stores in nigerian cities. nigeria has announced it is boycotting the world economic forum that is currently taking place in cape town.
