country's presidential election. given to you thanks for joining us here. more than 3 years since the u.k. voted to leave the european union we are still no closer to finding out whether the country will walk through the blocks exit door after him he's voted in favor of an amendment to delay their approval of the new regs that deal negotiated by boris johnson in response to that the prime minister has postponed the vote until next week the latest from westminster. for the 1st time in almost 40 years parliament has been sitting to discuss boris johnson's new breaks it deal the prime minister needs the support of 320 m.p.'s to get it through but opposition parties are against it. was trying. now is the charge mr speaker to get these things done
4:02 pm
and i say to all members they don't come together to end i didn't come together as democrats to end this debilitating future you cannot trust a word got to. mrs radio voting for a deal today won't break suge it wasn't delivered certainty and the people should have the final say rousing words from the prime minister and also jeremy corbin but ought to be the speech of the day came from former prime minister to resign may urging m.p.'s to back the deal very similar to the one she felled with 3 times the whole house will forgive me if i say that standing here i have a distinct sense of deja vu. if you want to deliver back sit if you want to keep faith with the british people if you want this country to move forward then vote for the deal to j a n but as we heard the main breaks that vote won't happen today on the super
4:03 pm
saturday due to an amendment put forward by m.p. all of the let when this essentially place for more time on the brakes and vote and it also passed through 322 votes to 306 the government losing this vote and then deciding that they're not going to have the main vote after all what does that mean in practice it means that the prime minister then has to go back to the e.u. today to ask for an extension boris johnson has repeatedly said that he's not going to do that and we're not certain that the e.u. would actually granted that also means as it stands that the country is about to drop out of the e.u. with no deal something that people across the country and in europe don't really want to happen there's also a sense of brecht's that fatigue in the country as well thousands of people are now marching in central london against this so boris johnson has said that bracks it has to be done is something to be done quickly but it's looking like there's going to be a deal if there is a deal that will be discussed next tuesday. well as the vote was underway in westminster outside of parliament hundreds of thousands of people were protesting
4:04 pm
against briggs it organizers of a rally calling for a 2nd referendum say around 1000000 have been marching in london legal commentator andrew walker though says despite the opposition to johnson's withdrawal agreement is still the best deal possible on the table. the problem is not brussels the problem is our own people in westminster who have deliberately set out to undermine the british government who deliberately set out to make sure the deal is as bad as possible and have deliberately set out so democracy i say shame on them i mean those people who want to delay brags that the vast majority of them are hoping that the british public will simply forgets that we voted to leave the european union and give up on the whole idea i think that that is completely crazy what i've always said is that you can't govern without consent and a majority of british people do not consent to be ruled by brothels now whatever jiggery poker whatever games you play by the way we're hearing today that the
4:05 pm
speaker job bercow is considering writing to the european union to demand an extension to article 15 but whatever of those games you play if the public do not wish to be part of the european union sooner or later we're going to leave and in my view the best thing to do is to just get the over with relatively quickly the steel is a bad deal but it's not a catastrophic deal a catastrophic deal is one that you can never escape from and when you saw teresa mayes backstop you could never escape from that whereas with boris johnson's deal whilst it's bad you can't escape from it and it does give future british governments the ability to amend our relationship with europe. ok let's bring some live pictures now from the spanish city of barcelona which is seeing its 6th day of protests crowds have gathered there with placards calling for the release of imprisoned counsel and separatist leaders auntie's medina cochon of is in barcelona for us. protests continue late into the evening this saturday here in this center
4:06 pm
of course a lot of people are taking it to the streets just as you mentioned for the 6th day and narrow but this demonstration where we are at the moment slightly different and the differences people now if you can see at the crowds we see mostly young people here many students came here holding flags of patch a lot and some of them even have these plaques all wrapped around them now some even brought masks and and different how minutes now police presence around this area is also very tight there are several police vans every single corner for yesterday's events really showed that the situation can change and turn ugly any 2nd now friday's aroud so we're really at the worst street violence spain has seen in decades protestors were dragging rubbish bins into the middle of the
4:07 pm
streets and setting them on finance throwing rocks ags and other objects at police forces which really responded well as the rubber bullets and tear gas well now here at the situation. rather calm it's a bit different than the scenes that we've seen on friday but i can as i've mentioned before this can change a meek sack and especially well concerning the crowd where we are at the moment so long a many young people around us and they're very active so barcelona is a basically the region of cats a line is protesting since monday and this saturday just showed that they're not at all tired and they're still ready to take it to the streets. of spain is blame the violence on an organized group of around 400 people it was the brightest face of the 6 prison on friday hopeful 1000000 on the streets they saw it follows. brutally clash with the police.
4:08 pm
the. german authorities have unveiled a new plan to fight far right extremism and anti semitism that's a response to last week's deadly attack on a synagogue in the german city of. during my visit to have what i heard from the people made a deep impression on me shouts of you cannot protect us and the concerns raised by jewish citizens who asked will you words be followed by actions now it's part of the plan the police will work more closely with intelligence agencies when it comes
4:09 pm
to identifying and preventing far right gatherings cases of and the semitism move given priority security in places of worship will be increased some of the new measures have raised concerns as the phone josephs us explains nuremburg central station set the scene for germany's largest operation of counter terror in 2 decades more than 300 officers took part in the exercise last week simulating and i've already could potentially be a real threat to passengers was german officials see this exercise was carried out partly to tackle the growing threat from fright when extremism just last summer a regional fissure walter looped it was a poor refute was brutally murdered in his house and just last week a attack at a synagogue that left 2 people dead. so there is no way denying the problem now. in the last few months alone with the
4:10 pm
assassination of the consul regional president and now this attack on the jewish community in hama we have seen that there are obviously more right wing extremists who are prepared to commit the most brutal kinds of violence including murder right now germany is looking to apply a new system for tackling right wing extremists called radar right it's pretty much a similar system that has been used by line foresman agencies here in germany to tackle islamist radicals and that we need to take a closer look at the internet to see what kinds of debates are taking please there and with what kinds of contentious also it is possible to increase surveillance of the dark legal powers to access information should be expanded so that the tools are the same as they are in the real world 3rd all criminal police here are looking to establish a central office to combat hate crime online in
4:11 pm
a sense this means that the authorities would have greater access to data online and the idea is supported by many politicians the internet is a free space but not illegal vacuum freedom of the press and freedom of expression are subject to different rules on the internet that doesn't make sense same on the dark web many things are completely beyond the control of the state i realize that control is not easy but nevertheless everything should be controlled as much as possible. it is a common misconception that authorities can monitor everything online so far they have been given a bow and arrow to fight extremism and terrorism they need to use artificial intelligence to future out the do some posts from right we make stream it's for example however some are concerned that the noble job of treason extremists concern to something more dangerous however some believe that the noble job of tracing extremism could potentially lead to something more dangerous i think there's always
4:12 pm
a danger that the secret services violate the privacy of people and of political parties which are not in favor of present government this is always people like this and i think that's what always happens but we have to be very careful and we have to say you know stop we don't want this in a democratic society so while it's all show and rigorous training on the ground in nuremberg german police and politicians do agree on one thing that online germany is failing to curb violent content but how deep is the public going to allow it forwards to dig into private data online if it routes out file in threats. to explosions of told through a mosque in afghanistan's nanga half province killing at least $62.00 people and injuring another 60 this happened during friday prayers groups claimed responsibility for the atrocity the government blames the taliban which denies
4:13 pm
involvement in attack came just a day after the un it could damned what it called unacceptable levels of violence in the country meanwhile there are delays in the results of the country's presidential election they were meant to be released on saturday the 2 main rivals in the race have been accused of electoral fraud but he's done a quarter takes a closer look. in any old election there are winners and losers but an afghan elections everyone wins while at least they claim they do. the results will be announced by the independent election commission but we have the most votes we've been checking the results in the past few days and we are sure we have the most votes the information that we have received showed that 60 to 70 percent of people voted for us interestingly enough they might both be right the organization that oversees afghan elections says over a 1000000 votes ended up fraudulent that's roughly 40 percent of the entire ballot
4:14 pm
and as if that didn't make these elections undemocratic enough the ballot box turnout wasn't even 30 percent y. total we can. count the reasons for things 1st secure he mentions a lack of voter trust in the election process a tight schedule thin budget the media environment but most importantly he cites security threats by which he means the taliban has been slaughtering civilians for taking part in the ballot the un says over $400.00 civilians have been killed or injured in connection devoting one 3rd of those being children and unfortunately those deaths seem to be the only significant outcome of this election a lot of afghans. would would question whether they would would matter at the end of the day or not because you know before the elections you would ask some people do you want to walk out and they would say well my water want in the reason for
4:15 pm
that is because at the end of the day it's going to be the americans that will come in decide the government before the toppling the taliban regime we didn't have a democracy some people would argue to you that in terms of security it was far better than what it is right no but we didn't have a proper democratic system where we could elect. the. president or whoever is in the lead of the country so 15 years on from when former u.s. president george w. bush proudly proclaimed a democratic afghanistan will serve the interests and just aspirations of all of the afghan people and help ensure that tara finds no further refuge in that proud land this new constitution marks a historic step forward and we will continue to assist the afghan people as they build a free and prosperous future one can only wonder if this is the prosperous future he imagined for afghanistan. the b.b.c.
4:16 pm
reveals its list of the 100 most influential women in the world this they'll be controlled to see about it though that story and more after the break. you know world of big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the world is driven by a dream shaped by personal there is. no
4:17 pm
dares thinks. we dare to ask. the b.b.c. has revealed this annual list of the 100 most influential women in the world it features people from science politics and sports as well as environmental and transgender activists but no matter how influential is being claimed some women will never make it on to the list so skip taylor explains. the future is bright the future is female and the future is pretty left leaning well that's what the b.b.c.
4:18 pm
would have you believe anyway it's published its annual list of the top $100.00 influential women in the wild for climate change activists grettir thing it's a trans woman nischelle i know but it was put into a male prisoner 21 many on the list are driving change on behalf of women everywhere they give us their vision of what life could look like in 2030 with almost 4000000000 to choose from many inspirational women going to make the cut but the b.b.c. presents the list as a vision what if these women run the walled a blueprint if you like of its ideal society and its a blueprint of sexual ethnic and professional diversity die fast in fact in its forms is celebrated with one exception political.
4:19 pm
so when it's claims of variety in this group she paints the wild with just one brush in which women are singing from the same progressive liberal him sheet and in doing so it's kim's over those who influence but maybe not quite in the way the b.b.c. wants american activist political figures feature pretty heavily on the list you'd think the b.b.c. would have managed to find at least one popular conservative ficca like commentator qantas for example. which. it is not talking about abortion because 6 percent of the population lives account
4:20 pm
for almost 40 percent of all you or she has performed. that's absurd she founded the black movement a campaign to encourage her fellow african-americans to jump ship from the democratic party to the republicans and while many cite her as their inspiration and she pulls in the crowds both at events and on social media she's been a conservative be vocally pro trump and c. rasha in expressing controversial views so she's out what about bona fide powerhouse none then she left behind her job in a crop factory to rise through the ranks of the chinese communist party and ultimately secure her position as a vice premier of the state council in the line up of black suits who lead one of the wild strongest economies she stands out as a symbol of perseverance and opportunity also shapes not politics are less vital need of a ton of germany party in the going to start to learn an awful america how long mrs
4:21 pm
merkel do you want to continue to punish us and what needs to happen to bring you to reason ok so how critique of michael's immigration policies her opposition to same sex marriage and call for some e.u. members to be given the boot might not have indeed had the b.b.c. but as her party's fast lesbian counted it surely they could have given her a free pass or if you're looking for someone a bit less mainstream what about on a pool. some time olympian tonge activist and cool is a fine supporter of brazilian president bows to nuoro something that has driven up twitter followers activism is centered around fighting the controversial decision to allow transgender athletes to participate in women's competitions combined of course with uncensored political leanings probably meant the b.b.c. thought it. to give her a mess the last decade has seen an unprecedented fight for equality and diversity
4:22 pm
me to marriage equality black lives matter the people sees less than one undoubtedly brimming with its selection of inspirational women jars in the landscape and neglect all those movers and shakers who innovate and inspire but just don't fit the narrative. thousands of pro kurdish activists to take to the streets of cologne to protest turkey's incursion into northern syria there are roughly a 1000000 girls living in germany some cool 1000000 turks so it is offensively star gives kurdish fighters tied intentions between both populations within germany. kurdish forces in syria said that they came under turkish mortar fire in violation of a cease fire is the 3rd one though claims that that is nothing but this information reports of clashes came after rancor agreed to return pretty serious fire brokered by washington 5 day window is to allow for the withdrawal of kurdish forces turkey
