3:32 pm
bills second reading went against johnson. respondents than forced to announce the brakes process is now on hold. you have to decide on a delay period. my disappointment of the house has again. the delay although the timetable. g. the u. k. would be in a position to leave the e. u. on october the thirty first with a deal five minutes to is the also always own misfortune so i make this offer to him tonight. all of us. reasonable timetable and i suspect this house will vote today but i scrutinized and i hope you manage the detail of this bill. that would be the sensible way for what. on the. your record leader of the labor party that the official
3:33 pm
opposition and before that the prime minister boris johnson let's begin our correspond in london who's following old brexit developments for us as adam outside the houses of parliament. braving the weather benedict pavia tentative good evening to you and i hope you're okay and safe a and stole that. tell us more about these two votes. so two key votes- we didn't get a big. vote on the actual deal on super saturday but this is turning out to be in one sense super tuesday. the first vote was on- which is known him not as well ob the withdrawal agreement bill. of that didn't get a majority- soon this is the first prime minister since the referendum. boris johnson- go to victory that he got the approval of the house of commons- which is really significant but it was a
3:34 pm
very short lived. victory because then- straight. away office we had another crucial place and that was on the. time table is called a program mission it was an accelerated false tracking over this ritual agreement bill. and would only allow the house of commons three days of scrutiny including today so that scrutiny was to finish by. thursday evening but the mps rejected that so that was. well we thought it was expected we had crunch the numbers so now we have a situation where the speaker has said that the withdrawal agreement bill is quote in limbo that's his the technical term for it. the prime minister. made a statement as soon as- the verge was announced and he said that he was pressing the pause button on this legislation this withdrawal agreement bill the full they will not be as had been planned because that was
3:35 pm
rejected. any scrutiny discussion or debate on the web on wednesday and on thursday of course the reason for the fast tracking of that was to try. and get that bill through to the upper chamber the house of lords at the beginning of next week in order to meet walks in order to meet in nine days time the thirty first of october deadline which is the deadline currently in professional. agreed with the european union all of the extension. but of course this is all superseded by several letters that the prime minister. sent on saturday- requesting extensions so we will have to see what the issue itself- says if it grants an extension on if indeed what's that extension is. in the box that decision then bennett is we understand is pending the- twenty seven states are considering. the possibility of an extension to the how this will proceed to we know what to expect. well we think that boris johnson as we
3:36 pm
speak is picking up his phone and going to be talking whether it is to the president of the eu council donald tours. of the president's commission additional could you could- indeed the chief brings it negotiated with the eu mission bagni and certainly if he's not doing it tonight. but that he'll do it tomorrow in the coming days will he be. saying look did give us a long extension we think that's very much what he will do. what was interesting. is that the prime minister significantly i think said. this bill will go through. whatever happens and for the first time i think he didn't attach the date of the thirty first october. now remember that he said only a few weeks ago that he'd rather be dead in a ditch- then break his pledge of not the u. k. not leaving by the thirty first of october. so it was also interesting to hear the leave the oppososition jerey corbyn on say that he was making an offer there and then to the prime minister- to
3:37 pm
actually he wanted to talk sit down. and agree what he calls jeremy corbyn called a reasonable timetable for the scrutiny it's a hundred and ten page document although a lot of it is similar to the previous prime minister theresa may is. a deal there are significant changes and peas all actually furious and feel that they've been disrespected and that's why it was defeated tonight so. a bill that is in limbo a prime minister's press the pause button but who now says that the withdrawal agreement bill will go through. and doesn't. attach anymore the date. for the moment of the thirty first of october i'm one nine days away from that date. and a copy of. thank you as ever very much into a benefit package on his left from the houses of parliament in london. next the latestst on north east syria in not so cheap. let me putin and russia type- line mats and talked about the shape of things to come. but i want the turkish president announced the

3:39 pm
that's get the analysis joshua landis joins us is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma. joshua landis thank you very much for being with us at a safe zone then patrolled by turkish and russian troops. on the some more like an occupied zone. it does you know this is a big win for. it's a big win for us and the russians because they're keeping turkey out of this. this larger buffer zone that it was gonna be just turkish up to thirty kilometers it's a very good for the kurds because- the kurds much preferred to have russian and syrian patrols and syrian occucupation over areas like kobani which would have felt. fallen within the turkish zone but the turkish zone is cocontained to a few little spos along the border they will patrol but with the russians so there won't be any of the shooting- against the courage
3:40 pm
the e courage willot b be driven out the population of course. the ypg. soldiers and police force will not be able to operate in that zone which will have a side trip so this is very good. for the government in damascus which will be re able to reassert its authority up to the border again in many areas except for a few little areas where turkey's already moved in its military. i'm clear what's going to happppen with those in the long run. signal processing this implies the end of the turkish- incursion i'm- is that something that wretched type- one. has a choice about going along with easy going to hear those words of ladbrokes. yes are you know look at this is this is going to be this is quite chasing to turkey but we don't know. . what was negotiatd we don't know what was given to turkey by russia. turkey has
3:41 pm
signgnificant holdings in aleppo province that's over to the western partrt of syria and endlesss so. those are also probably in the trade missiles all kinds of different things could be no cypress backing up with gas and so forth there are so many things that russia and turkey have to negotiate about so we don't knoww how air to one got this very favorable d deal. for his clieient. syria because the first article in their agreement. is about how syria has to maintain its sovereignty and territorial integrity. in the american agreement with their t to one that was the very last article that was sort of thrown in for good luck at the bottom. in terms of what the kurds have here joshua i mean clearly he was saying at the start this is something they can be. relativelyy happy with out but clearly they had one on my- in on. when helping the
3:42 pm
americans to beat at the islamic state group that one i am maybe establishing that own homeland. the one seen this on his doorstep did not want that and that's what the incursion is all about he didn't want what he saw was one terror groups linking it with. the kurdish terror groups he sees it in his own country and creating an even bigger problem for him. does this push the problem further away enough to one. does this give the syrian kurds the area that they would like probably not. no you don't look it this is all bad news for ththe kurds. there's relative. bad anand worse. it's bad news because the americans in order for the amemericans to stay t there they neeeeded t the kurdrds to administerer this whe area and that meant a quasi independent kurdish state. the currents were praying the americans would stay for the long haul. andnd the real hawks in america the anti rononnie and hawks that want to roll back
3:43 pm
the wrong o one wantedd to stay. in northern syriaia for the long haul and that meant you know but we don't know what the long haul is it could be. many years and that's why the turks g got their hopes up. and jim jefeffry the special envoy to syria for trump had told the kurds don't make a deal with us we're gonna be here for you know. for a long time so. they had sold the kurds a bill of goods and the kurds have gotten their hopes way up. when trump dashed those hopes said we're pulling out. then the kurds ran to damascus and said look at don't let the turks and because they're going to ethnically cleanse us which was a real fear. so today they can be happy. that couldn't. yes seems to have stopped this turkish invasion and that will at least you know hold back the bad news for the kurds but it's not you know there's still a
3:44 pm
big hang over for the kurds that the fact that their hopes were on an independent state let and now. they've got a live under aside which you know is not who's not going to give them a great deal of autonomy. show landis director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma as ever thank you for much of the journey is impossible. it was appreciate your time thank you. next justin trudeau clinging to power in canada. his liberal party eyes won the election but doeoesn't have an overall majority. the conservative counter she aged. what's known as the popular vote. but this didn't convert into a majority of seats that these new democrats. jack beat sync as a possible can make. clearly delineated justin trudeau will stay on as canada's prime minister alters the liberal party fell just short of a majority in the house of commons. your coast tonight canadians rejected divivision and negatativity. thy
