against opposition demonstrators and as a mixed bag for russia's opposition where do you think this protest might go next the elections are on sunday will they will they just stop once the elections have happened. well we see. something that we already saw some lose a go i would say thought was 12th after we also have this big crisis of demonstration and after that we have a lot of criminal investigations against actually random opposition or so those people who were arrested one of the leaders of the position mostly but just to the random people who were arrested for something that wasn't even a lation of the law or like this time also among these 9 people who are still in prison of those busy school just that old a paper cup you know policeman or someone who just. touched. us helmet of police but he didn't he did he just did and that was enough to put him in jail and now he can be in prison for 5 years so this is how the system reacts they want to make it very clear signal to everybody that absolutely random person that so any one of you can be arrested and imprisoned for 56 years 6 years

but if he fails to do so, yes the opposition must unite.no-confidence by triggering a boat of no-confidence we will ensure that you take no deal off the table by allowing the opposition to instill an interim leader to take back control and protect our economy from the cliff edge. mr. speaker, Ãtruly supports no deal. it is a priority. let me be clear to members on these benches we are not powerless doing nothing is not an option. this is the time for leadership. once we have removed the prime minister, remove the threat of no deal. people must have their say to a general election as quickly as possible. we must on set this mass and trust the people to make their choice. we cannot trust this prime minister, his time must be up. his days of lying or cheating or undermining the rule of law must be numbered. >> order. order. order. orders. just for the avoidance of doubt and show the right honorable gentlemen will not stay in this house with the prime minister has lied in the house. he must not do so. order. order! order! that's procedural posi

the leaders of the opposition and his party do not trust the people. the leader of the opposition are determined to throw out the result, whatever the cost. they don't care, mr. speaker, about the bill for hundreds of millions of pounds that will come with every week of delay. they don't care for another year or more is wasted in arguing about a referendum that happened three years ago. all that matters to them now is an obsessive desire to overrule the referendum result. while we want to take our country up a gear, to go forward with a fantastic program of investment in infrastructure, health, and education and technology, they are throwing on the hand brake. well, mr. speaker, we will not betr betray the people who sent us here. we will not. that's what they want to do. we will not abandon the priorities that matter to the public and we will continue to challenge those opposition parties to uphold democracy. if honorable members opposite so disagreed with this government's commitment to leaving on october the 3 1s, they had a very simple remedy at th

point of view it's not the opposition's got from passing legislation of the opposition who are in government or in office benoit power i think it's interesting that all the poorest got left in this cupboard is to shout chicken well it doesn't matter to the labor party they're the opposition boris johnson meant to empower the more he looks impotent the longer looks impotent i think the better for all the opposition parties labor liberal yes m.p. even and so much of his problems now come down to a real crisis of trust you pointed out their job joe johns and his brother stepping down today that's a gift to the labor party who were able to say look not even his brother trusts him but we know how much the labor party were damaged by the fact that people suspected that david miliband didn't trust brother edward on the leadership relation now we've actually got joe johnson saying i'm going to stand down to spend less time with my family because i don't trust my own brother know that he a negative character reference and there's nothing better than the somebodies in their own family saying i don't t

in the city duma because they were simply banned from running in these elections and the opposition has then called for this so-called smart fold voting for anyone basically who can be united russia and this has now resulted in a win for the communist party who has never been a real opposition party so it's not likely to change much of the policies but it does give a strong signal to president putin and the ruling party that their power base is kind of shaky right now and that the opposition can't be ignored and crushed that easily anymore step 5 al-jazeera inside story. i. already let's bring in our panel joining us from moscow victor or gave it a lead expert at the moscow based think tank center for actual politics from kiev on skype illya. founder of the political movement left front and former member of parliament from 2007 to 2016 and from london and my fear of a visiting senior research fellow at king's college london welcome to the program and i want to start with you these elections and the outcome how significant is this development. they are significant foremost because th

yes, the members opposite, if the public does not wa nt opposite, if the public does not want no dealy they will vote in their favour. they will return a coalition government or a government that will take their way forward. if they also feel they do want to go down this track of deal or no deal, surely for this side of the house and delivering brexit on the 31st of october of this year, surely now is the right time to trust the people to make that choice. is it not simply political advantage that is getting in the way of that situation? now there is an imperative for keeping the deadline, the 31st of october, two imperatives. one is getting the deal with the european union, the fact that there is the deadline in time of the 31st october, but also imperative in this house at that point in time when they deal comes back, which they believe the prime minister can deliver, that deal comes back to this house, members across the south, members across this house will have a choice either to vote for a deal or to vote for no deal and then, surely, they will choose a deal and we leave on the

mr speaker, the truth is that members opposite are living ina is that members opposite are living inantasy world. laughter. they really imagine that somehow they are going to cancel... this is what they wa nt to going to cancel... this is what they want to do. they want to cancel the first referendum, legislate for a second referendum, and parliament will promise that this time, that it really will respect that vote. and they think the public will therefore vote to remain and everybody will forget the last few years. i have to say that is an extraordinary delusion. and a fantasy. a fantasy even greater than the communist fantasies led by the leader of the opposition. it will not happen. the public do not want another referendum. what they want and what they demand is that we honour the promise that we made it to the voters to respect the first referendum. and they also want us to move on. to put brexit behind us and a focus on the nhs, on violent crimes come on cutting the cost of the living. that is why i brought forward a queen's speech, this government intends to present a program

you are the leader of the opposition and he's party do not trust the people thank you leader of your president's party all determined to throw out the referendum results whatever the cost there don't care to speak up about the build hundreds of millions of cars that will come with every week. they don't care for another year or more is wasted in arguing about a referendum that happened 3 years ago all that matters to them now are is an obsessive desire to overrule the referendum result while we want to take our country up again to go forward with that fantastic program an exaggerated program of investment in infrastructure in health and education and technology they are threatening on the handbrake whoa mr speaker we will not betray the people who sent us here who were not on what they want to do we will not abandon our priorities good matter to the public and we will continue to challenge those all the different parties to up hold democracy in our own revolted by total members opposite certainly disagreed with this government's commitment to leaving on october 31st they have a very

opposition dialogue between mother and the opposition that the country will be stable more stable and that these investments will be safe. and china is being called the $11000000000.00 starfish has officially opened taxing is beijing 2nd airport it's expected to handle $72000000.00 passengers a year by 2025 and it's on its way to becoming the world's busiest travel hub and it's relieving the pressure at beijing's older and overcrowded capital airport rob matheson has more from beijing. chinese president xi jinping officially opened done showing airport here in beijing on wedding the state the airport is costing $11000000000.00 to build it it's estimated that it's going to be handling about $45000000.00 passengers by the end of 202-1100 1000000 passengers by the end of 2040 it's also going to be dealing with $300.00 takeoffs and landings every hour those figures give an indication of just how confident china is that it is going to be able to expand its air market but that's a view also held by international air companies and plane manufacturers as well the u.s. plane manufacturer boein

the leader of the opposition, they see set, his party paid £10 million, the leader of the oppositionto over £140,000 of taxpayers' money, and yet today we have the extraordinary spectacle of the entire opposition collectively deciding to abrogate their most fundamental responsibility. they have theirjob, they know what they should be doing. in this area of creative litigation, are they not grounds for legal challenge to compel them to do the leader of the opposition, honourable members can have their say. sometimes he says we should leave the eu. sometimes he says we should have another referendum. sometimes he says we should negotiate a new deal. sometimes he says he would accept whatever brussels offers. over the past few days, the labour party has said that it wants to delay brexit then negotiate a new deal then have another referendum, then campaign against their own deal

of the opposition members who support alexina volumnia who is the most prominent opposition representative here and moscow are pulling forth they're calling smart voting and they're attempting to get people that will support them to back a list of candidates that they feel have the best chance of defeating candidates who are backed by eugene assia basically what they're saying is even if members of their own party aren't getting elected to the minutes at the municipal level or at the the regional level if they can prevent candidates from you know to see it getting elected it's still a victory long term and could provide a model on. for future electoral of success in upcoming elections but many of the experts i'm talking to here actually say that this smart voting scheme is an interesting one but actually not really what the opposition be focusing on and said they're saying that the opposition has already had extreme success because they've managed to mobilize their base in a way that we haven't seen here in russia in the last 6 or 7 years all right now until 10 and most i think say much. n

opposition leader chimey corben ridiculed the call for an election. the also the election today is a bit like the offer of an awful to snow white in the wiki query because what he's offering you still is an apple or even election but the poison of a no deal yet. so much to speak your i repeat i repeat what i said last night last night let this bill pass and gain royal assent then we will be back at election. 48 hours ago he was leading the charge to store the coup that the people who vote down he say stop the election will stop the people from voting. i can only speculate i can only speculate as to the reasons behind the scenes you change. your i.q. the obvious conclusion even i'm afraid that he does not think he will win yet chinese american trade negotiators will meet for talks in october to try to put an end to the ongoing trade war between the world's 2 largest economies the latest round of tit for tat tariffs between the 2 countries went into effect on sunday unk on chief executive kerry lamb has spoken to the media on wednesday saying she'd supp

other terrorist groups as a part of the opposition as anyhow i think now that.the matter is about a unified syria and i think how to rebuild syria how to make a new state in syria a new democratic and stable a state which we got out of the order that i told everybody was the being here in syria no one can see that the excess that interventions which had been inside syria are going on think that rights civil rights and the human rights of the syrians not is this not in syria what about direction direction so if the rationale that nations and their best and i think relative. or working together being governor the people position and to make all guns be silent decide all guns and do our together in a peaceful way in a political way and i think this is a very good. introduction to write a new constitution for the concrete in which we must find what it together delusion and opposed to get an answer to all the questions which had been evasive in the last is the difficulty years from the life of syrians this very day i make this point again now how confident are you th

happening because of simple left earth it's a 2 thirds majority needed it won't be the case because the opposition is unified more so than ever right now they not trusting boris johnson not accepting an election at this stage the favorite dates are really around mid november boris johnson wants to push forward with his assurance that that can be a deal but where is it he says it could be somewhere it is somewhere away from the media or away from the bubbling well this deep suspicion that there is no realistic deal that has been a mention of all island foods a this is all related to the backstop the insurance policy that's prevent a hot border between northern ireland to the irish republic food is major trade between europe and the u.k. but that idea was was really pushed out when david frost the government because it went to brussels last friday and it looks as if it was a lot of calls for not so much law but pushed out of coal in a very brusque way by his counterparts in dublin like today friday. the suspension of parliament andrew the programming as they officially call it didn't actually have t

another defeat for boris johnson but with a rebellion in his party and the opposition taking over the parliamentary timetable i used the right 327 notice the lack of 299. within minutes boris johnson was on his feet with his plan for a snap elections i don't want an action the public don't want an election the country doesn't want to election with this house president no other option than getting the public decide who they want as prime minister and i commend this motion to the hot under the opposition bill that now has to be passed by parliament upper house johnson is forced to seek an extension of the deadline that will remove it to january scuppering his dual die plan for a no deal brix it if nessus. on october 31st but labor the main opposition party isn't ready to give support to johnson's call for an election which needs a 2 thirds majority the also the election to die is a bit like the offer of an apple to snow white in the wiki queen because what he's offering is not an apple or even election but the poison of a no deal. so mr speed i repeat i repeat what i said last night las

296 of members opposite voted for it! 296 of members opposite voted for it!oo hot or too cold, we did not vote for that deal. it was not seen as the goldilocks deal. some people said it wasn't brexit. some people voted for a clean break, they said. studio: we are live in the house of commons where politicians, the prime minister has asked politicians to back a general election. let's listen to the debate. when we when we leave when we leave we when we leave we will when we leave we will be when we leave we will be part when we leave we will be part of when we leave we will be part of it. when we leave we will be part of it. it is quite reasonable that people would expect that when we leave there would be a deal. and that is why the prime minister put her red lines, set out her red lines,

the opposition saying, sack me. the opposition saying, sack me.ing, we want to sack you but not now. it points to a chronic lack of trust in the house of commons. frankly, the opposition parties say they simply do not trust the prime minister and that if they vote through this election, because parliament is pretty much paralysed, they worry they are going to be outmanoeuvred. a manoeuvre that would mean an no—deal brexit could happen. all parties have to try and work together to stop they have slightly different positions when it comes to brexit and borisjohnson does not have a majority and he has to work out how to get things through. what is clear from this evening, he is not looking at this thinking i need to go for more collegiate approach but still going for this defined way forward. the leader of the house of commons, jacob liz —— respite, wants to enable the conservative... a short adjournment that i have to be careful about the language that a short adjournment to parliament. are they likely to get it? we will have to wait and see what ha

you've only got to listen to the demonstrators to realise the central issue is about trust and the opposition want to be absolutely sure there's a cop up bolton guarantee the card play any tricks if there is an election the 2nd largest opposition party is also against an immediate election people don't trust johnson when he says he really wants a deal we all suspect that he wants a new deal and we also want to make sure that he's not able to use his proxy of powers as the prime minister to create some tricks and allow the country to crush out another day of unprecedented moves within parliament and with it still uncertainty about what the people of the united kingdom might expect from its political leadership andrew symonds westminster. and. also in westminster for a slowing the bill to stop and no doubt breaks it now in the last august or the process of what happens next. well yes and plainly throughout the course of this week power has abt away from boris johnson he's lost 3 votes now in the commons the lords overnight cleared the way for the for the bill so it needs to be needs to go throu

and it is the people opposite denying them. does he agree with me that the british people to have a chance to have an early general election that the conservative party will win that election? >> i thank my honorable friend for that powerful intervention. i could not agree with him more. to get back on track, there are those who will not countenance leaving without a deal. it is quite strange. they are the same people who go to their local market every week and they will walk away from that trade if the price isn't right or the quality isn't right. i ask the leader of the opposition, i have a rusty old heap of a car. it is yours for 15,000 pounds. i'm sure he will take it without looking at it any further. but when this house was presented with a withdrawal agreement, by the previous administration, i obviously voted against it because i felt it was a lousy, rotten deal. i do not need to put those objections further tonight. but there are others, and i am looking at them, who voted against that deal because of pure party politi

elections that is far from the biggest anti-government protest the country has seen in these years opposition leader alexander vonnie says anti-government candidates appear on track to cling seats from the ruling united russia party but it warrants the results could be read also coming up. a cry for help from hong kong demonstrators marched outside the u.s. embassy seeking support for their months long pro-democracy movement another weekend of protest ends in flames and tear gas. on the welcome to the program russians have cast their ballots in local elections marred by weeks of protests opposition leader alexei no vonnie says early results show anti-government candidates could be on track to claim scenes from vladimir putin's united russia party but he's warned officials could try to rewrite the results before they're finalized no vonnie had called on russians to vote tactically to block candidates from united russia after a series of opposition candidates had been banned from the polls. even the mascots outside the polling stations don't seem very enthusiastic by early evening turnout in mo

and i you know it's been an old sort of go to lying through their regime to say that all the opposite she can do is go out and scream in the streets and of course ironically when they actually participate in the political process when they try to be candidates when they start trying to run for office they're disqualified for ridiculous reasons. it doesn't even mean that they would win a majority b.c. if that just means that they had some level of support and we got 20 some of percent of the vote in the mural action in moscow 2013 so there is some level of electoral support for the opposition in moscow i think in terms of the protests we're conflating too much here protests don't mean regime change protests don't mean a media political kind of radical change but they are important this is again very low level kind of not very interesting election traditionally has been a not a very interesting election between 50 and 60000 people come out early august and and protest and show their support among the people who showed up were a lot of famous rappers musicians bloggers artists actresses

but also for the other opposition parties bit where does this leave everything i mean is the u.k. still on course to leave the european union at the end of october with or without a deal 'd. well i think one consequence of this how mild could be that parliamentarians would be if prime minister johnson indeed did get a deal from brussels that he finds acceptable something that's cross of a very close it's reason may still but maybe a little bit speak that if he did freeze and that he had to parliament that is a bigger challenge that this time this could be voted through but we don't know if this is what he's going to do the other scenario could also be that at the summit in brussels which is going to happen in just a few weeks time he could also turn around and say well no agreement with the us possible and then just he has to also an extension because paul amend has found his hands to do so but then there will be a general election so it'll be interesting in the next weeks that's for sure perhaps for sure due to his record most reporting from london thank you. want to tell you now

opposition parties announced they will continue to reject his call for a snap election. police officers in hong kong have fired tear gas and rubber bullets and demonstrators have been surrounding a police station earlier the protesters gathered at a train station nearby forcing it to close. on kong is now its 14th week of anti-government protests but china's warning the end could be near beijing says it won't allow the chaos to continue indefinitely raising concerns that soldiers could be deployed on the streets of hong kong when he has more. the. as protesters have marched in gathered in different parts of the city over the past 3 months. one of the cries has been stand with hong kong. it's a call to their own people and to the international community to support their action against the increasing control of china that runs hong kong under a one country 2 systems policy of sorts solidarity with taiwan which china views as a rogue province that it will eventually retake well what. we. all used to sell books in hong kong that were critical of the chinese government and in

the election to the moscow city duma has given the country's opposition in only. likely chance to challenge the power and control of united russia. and its complete domination of russian political life. is actually face seen historically low polling numbers with around only 30 percent of russians saying they currently support the party that the brain is also considered toxic in many of the country's major cities and that's part of the reason why many candidates here in moscow chose to run as independents out of fears that association with the party could hurt their chances in today's polling now this also might be part of the reason that we've seen such heavy handed tactics from russian security forces when it came to some of the opposition back demonstrations we've seen in recent weeks and speaking to many political experts here they tell me that that was heavy handed tactics have actually gone a long way to help politicizing a new generation of russians and remains to be seen whether or not the political or the country's opposition will be able to capitalize on

well it really depends on what you mean by the opposition is hard to speak from or of a unified opposition when it comes to russia when it comes alexina vali you mention who is one of the most prominent members of the russian opposition and one of the most vocal members actually trying to. see he's actually focused on trying to get his supporters to back a list of candidates he says have the best chance of defeating the d.n.a. to see a member's basically they're arguing that by preventing more of their candidates from getting into government it would be a win for the opposition in general now so far we don't know how many people are going to actually support his list of candidates but if it actually does prove to be successful it could turn into a model for future electoral success on the part of the opposition and russia has said that google and facebook have distributed political ads today can you tell us more about. well right now is from what we've been hearing and reading here in moscow it seems that the russian government is accusing these american tech giants of violating its laws w

other terrorist groups as a part of the opposition at that how i think now that. the matter is about a unified syria and i think how to rebuild syria how to make a new state in syria a new democratic and stable a state which we got out of the order that i told everybody was living here in syria no one can see that the excess that interventions which had been inside syria are going on seeing the rights to the rights and the human rights of the syrians not this star in syria what about direction direction so that the rest in other nations intervention i think relative. or working together being governor the people position and make all guns be silent decide all guns and do our together in a peaceful way in a political way and i think this is a very good. introduction to write a new constitution for the county in which we must find put it together delusion and the post get an answer to all the questions which had been evasive and the last is the difficulty years from the life of syrians this very day i make this point again now how confident are you that the current

despite opposition candidates being banned from the election was the opposition the big winner in this election. i think this is an election with winners i think everyone is a loser to an extent yes this was a tactical victory for the in his so-called smart voting campaign getting people to vote for the most likely candidate from one of the non-government parties but we have to remember here these are parties that are tolerated by the kremlin otherwise they wouldn't be on the ballot paper at a national level these are parties that are run by people many of them were on the scene when yeltsin was present in the ninety's they are seriously challenging the government for power so the valley's be able to create an embarrassing situation for the government but he hasn't been able to put his candidate in the moscow city parliament despite the fact that they collected thousands of signatures jump through all the bureaucratic hoops and going forward i think this is a bad omen for russia that people who are seriously serious about changing the government challenging the current elites that they

we are the opposition parties, we all seeka are the opposition parties, we all seek a general electionbut in the meantime, it is our duty to hold borisjohnson's feet to the fire. i do not trust them to keep his word, i do not trust him to abide by the law, parliament is here to ensure that the prime minister carries out the will of parliament. this by next week will be the word of parliament. he will not be allowed to play no—deal brexit as though it were some gain for his personal benefit. it will be disastrous for the upland communities, which i represent, and disastrous from communities across the united kingdom. our duty as opposition mps and leaders is to make sure that we stop that first and foremost. the prime minister has said he would rather be dead in a ditch then ask for the extension of that the bill would require him to. do you really expect him to go to brussels and do that? he is more likely to resign before then, surely. the prime minister was one of the techs off boris johnson's mega maniac bucket list. if you want to be prime minister, he takes as possibilities that c

the opposition had was not part of the talks. this marks the first major split in the opposition.he deal struck was signed with a small number of opposition members who represent 10% of the opposition. for nicolas maduro, it is significant. his arrival, opposition leader and self-proclaimed interim president, was not in the room. this is the first split and the opposition. >> the first piece is understanding and coeoesting agreement between important sectors of the venezuelan opposition, the forces, and the bull ovarian government -- the government has been signed. >> they have been calling for resignationro's because they believe the election was rigged. failed hourstalalks before the ceremony in caracas. >> the regime has attempted this maneuver before. it happened in may 2018. people suffered tragic tragic consequences and conflict are not dealt with properly. >> juan guaido has failed to make progress towards transition. the economic crisis continues to worsen. 4 million people fleeing to neighboring countries according to the u.n. the agreement signed on monday is likely to m

the exclusion of opposition candidates has inspired weekly protests since mid-summer the police have cracked down hard more than 2000 demonstrators have been arrested. the best known opposition figure alexina valmy took to social media to call for voters to choose candidates who would do the most harm to the governing party. i just don't you publish it every single vote for a party doesn't get is good even if it's not for us but we hope that we can do more to counter them the position in. local and regional votes were held across the country but the real test comes in 2 years with new parliamentary elections. w.'s aaron tilson is in moscow and tells us just how crucial this vote is for the party behind president power base let's have a listen. election to the moscow city duma has given the country's opposition an unlikely chance to challenge the power and control of united russia. and its complete domination of russian political life now you know you're a c.e.o. is actually face seen historically low poll numbers with their own only 30 percent of russians saying they currently suppor

it all began in july when practically no opposition candidates were now out to run for election. not even hughley galliani now of the party allegedly due to a technicality dozens of other candidates experienced a similar problems this has outraged their supporters. for weeks and there were protests like here with 20000 taking part at the beginning of august just then you pushed a new car or the fact that not a single opposition candidate got through something we really didn't expect. that's quite foolish politically. if i were on the other side i would never have allowed a development like that just yet but soon a says about the oh. she was allowed to run for office with no problems valerie yeah because some are a position to herself from the very outset as a loyal supporter of incumbent mayor cyril gay so beyond him and as someone who knows how to score points with photos of all mood there's a civil war the people are concerned about their daily lives running smoothly about the replacing of trees that have been cut down in their yards about their neighborhood stay. safe to hear

russia has held regional elections after weeks of protests because tens of opposition candidates were bound for running the vote is seen as a test of the popularity of president vladimir putin and his allies the ruling indicted russia party is browned has become so toxic it's candidates presenting themselves as independents steadfastly reports from moscow. which is the 1st really lubow sobel has become the face of a new protest movement in moscow the 31 year old lawyer was banned from running in the election for the city's regional parliament and has been arrested several times for organizing protests even though her name is not on the ballot she still had to the polling station the opposition led by election other decided that a so-called smart phone that's a vote against the ruling united russia party of president vladimir putin would be more effective than boycotting the elections altogether the prettiest little survival it's a protest vote it's not a vote for your candidate we go to the street was a protest and now we won't and protest is a form of protest to show that we disagree

despite opposition that it's being banned from the election was the opposition the big winner in this election. i think this is an election with winners i think everyone is a loser to an extent yes this was a tactical victory for x. in a valley in his so called smart voting campaign getting people to vote for the most likely candidate from one of the non-government parties but we have to remember here these are parties that are tolerated by the kremlin otherwise they wouldn't be on the ballot paper at a national level these are parties that are run by people many of them were on the scene when yeltsin was president the ninety's they aren't seriously challenging the government for power so the valley's be able to create an embarrassing situation for the government but he hasn't been able to put his candidate in the moscow city parliament despite the fact that they collected thousands of signatures jump through all the bureaucratic hoops and going forward i think this is a bad omen for russia that people who are seriously serious about changing the government challenging the current eli

late morning opposition no makeup alvan junk received some news. of the more you things are not how you want all up but it wasn't what the protestors wanted and they refused to back down. i may think we are. hoping to calm things down approach the police and call. the. police call the law. anything. that i think month i want if i was like oh boy they told me. not to say how honest you are not what i'm going to do something on it i must know. what i think by. not know what are you the folly and some of the make up in my pocket money old age i saw. it was yet another sign of how much things have changed since the umbrella movement. no one personal food was in charge no one could tell these protesters what to do. away from the front lines the protest remained peaceful. up on a bridge filmmaker yang. and a group of academics and autists were on a hunger strike. originally from mainland china he now lives in exile in hong kong off to making a film critical of the main lance justice system if enacted the extradition will could be used on him domino watso

well now with 100 percent of the vote counted we've seen that the that russia's fractured opposition has actually managed to make extreme and roads into local government here in the city of moscow they've actually managed to take 20 of a possible 45 seats and that's actually a great victory for the opposition you have to realize that russia has a very fractured opposition landscape with a lot of different parties some are aligned with the kremlin others are outside of the government and have more radical elements within them and because of that fractured nature of the opposition they've had a lot of trouble actually making and roads when it comes to breaking united russia's kind of monolithic grasp when it comes to russian political life and what we've seen now is a kind of a change of the old logic that used to be the case that if you're a member of putin's party you automatically had election success and the election to the city doing here in moscow shows that that old math may not actually be accurate anymore so what does all this mean then for putin and for his united russia part

the leader of the opposition has a question to answer. he has demanded an election for two years while blocking brexit. he said he would support an election. not parliament having passed a bill that destroys the ability of the government to negotiate, is he now going to say that the public cannot be allowed an election to decide which of us sort out this mess? i don't want an election. the public doesn't want an election. this house has left no other option than letting the public decide who they want us prime minister and i commend this motion to the house. the question is that there shall be an early parliamentary general election. i call jeremy corbyn. you, mr. speaker. this is the second time i have replied to a conservative prime minister seeking to dissolve parliament to call an election because they didn't have a deliverable brexit policy. although i am not condemning the right honorable member by her successorto she at least me details speeches laying out her brexit policy even if we don't -- fundamentally disagree with them. this

other terrorist groups as a part of the opposition as anyhow i think now that.the matter is about a unified syria and i think how to rebuild syria how to make a new state in syria a new democratic and stable a state which would have got out of the order that i told everybody was the being here in syria no one can see that the excess that interventions which had been inside syria are going on think that rights civil rights and the human rights of the syrians not is this not in syria what about direction direction so if the rationale that nations and their best and i think relative. or working together being governor the people position and make all guns be silent decide all guns and do our together in a peaceful way in a political way and i think this is a bit a good. introduction to write a new constitution for the county in which we must find put it together delusion and the police get an answer to all the questions which had been evasive and lost is the difficulty years from the life of syrians this very day i make this point again now how confident are you th

other opposition parties. tonight, we will not give the prime minister the opportunity to bring in a no deal through the back door. but we cannot allow a government that has lost its majority, that does not command the house, that has treated us country with contempt, that has made an offer for one more day longer. the prime minister is going to shut this parliament down so he can spend four weeks running the club down. we could instead use that time to run him out of office. once a no deal has been blocked, mps across this house, on the opposition benches, should come together to bring down the government. not only the prime minister, but on the right terms. mr. speaker, time is of the essence. over the next few days, to irresponsible and incompetent phony government from office. speaker, i think i got an apology to make. basis, i think i've only just gotten over the 2015 election. but we need to ask ourselves, what can this parliament now achieve? agenda thatbold new the prime minister wishes to place for th

the exclusion of opposition candidates has inspired weekly protests since mid-summer the police have cracked down hard more than 2000 demonstrators have been arrested. the best known opposition figure alexina valmy took to social media to call for voters to choose candidates who would do the most harm to the governing party. that's the new politics every single vote for a party doesn't get is good even if it's not for us but we hope that we can do more to count to them to produce. local and regional votes were held across the country but the real test comes in 2 years with new parliamentary elections. let's bring in correspondent erin tilton in moscow and one of the results that we have in so far well so far it seems that in many of the regions outside of moscow that you know i don't see united russia was able to claim the polling for themselves but here in moscow it seems like 20 of the possible $45.00 seats in the city's city duma have actually gone to opposition aligned candidates now it's a big win for many of the opposition parties and one that wasn't initially expected going in

over the 31st they've got this law or of course that opposition m.p.'s backed and pushed through parliament last week it made it on to the statute books today requiring the government requiring the prime minister to go off to brussels and get an extension to that breaks a deadline if he isn't able to get a fresh deal on october 17th that that e.u. summit that was not deemed sufficient a guarantee because of the levels of mistrust damed boris johnson and this government that he simply wouldn't stick to his word if an election were granted on october the 15th that he would move that date forward and try and crash this country out into a no deal breaks it's an aria by default so opposition united they want to see that extension before they will vote for an election of course handing boris johnson hendy attack card which you heard him wielding there this is an opposition afraid to comply with it to meet its duty is no position and fight an election afraid that they will lose boris johnson saying simply this house cannot decide on anything it will now adjour

well it really depends on what you mean by the opposition it's hard to speak from are of a unified opposition when it comes to russia when it comes alexina vali you mentioned who is one of the most prominent members of the russian opposition and one of the most vocal members actually trying to defeat you know how to see he's actually focused on trying to get his supporters to back a list of candidates he says have the best chance of defeating the d.n.a. to see a member's basically they're arguing that by preventing more of their candidates from getting into government it would be a win for the opposition in general you know so far we don't know how many people are going to actually support his list of candidates but if it actually does prove to be successful it could turn into a model for future electoral success on the part of the opposition are until now speaking to us from moscow thank you. well health authorities in the u.s. are edging people to stop paying after a 5th death linked to the out of an outbreak of a mysterious respiratory disease has been reported hundreds of people have fall
