being one of the 1st african to be nominated as a candidate in the state parliament in homburg it's a signal to society that we are not just sherman's from. but there are people from africa descent also who are living here who are working who can be also into politics these be c.e.o.'s don't and just put a spotlight on the positive aspect. of the african community i just want to open up the question to the rest of the people here because i've heard people talking about racism and i'm also curious if the racism is pointed because you're african would it be different if you were african american or if you will of indian descent i honestly think the racism is not messages pointed and that it is the small things that make it worse i'm sorry i don't people judgment sort of i'm sorry i don't people asking me if i go to school on a lie and if i don't know sit with a hyena and i have a joke with them or something that is not the case if you want to know about me come and approach me an open and honest manner and you can learn so we you know agreement that racism is part of the african diaspor

parties without me the men will only get 57 seats they need a majority of 61 out of 120 seats in a state parliament to actually form the next government the initial results also suggest that if indeed gunsmiths party in the form ideas chief forms. with the arab parties which i must have come in at this stage and 3rd position they will then get. majority of $63.00 seats but the question there is whether or not lieberman who really falls on the right of the political spectrum will be part of that coalition and that seems highly unlikely so there's a lot of questions being asked in terms of how this new coalition will go but let me repeat that at this stage the initial results suggest that the party of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in 2nd place meaning that it is his rival who will be tossed to actually form the next government but of course it remains to be seen if indeed he is successful in doing this we'll keep updated with . we know that trump has thrown his backing behind the current prime minister do you think that's been influential in any way at all. it certainly is influent

the made in oppositions of the society groups the old a sham election where they claimed every state parliament and even that wasn't enough to stop it so there was international pressure and they just simply ignored it and this is how a chance but what about a threat of sanctions if the international community does decide to step up the pressure even more does the threat of sanctions change the picture. think it does and this is what it doesn't make a whole of a sense from huntsman's point of view. the threat of sanctions should should make kunsan government stop current down but this year i mean this talk of the numbers suggests that the charges up to about 30 opposition activists were insurrection or kurd and so if they were bar sanctions that would stop cracking down but they're not. for me to suggest that china has given us quietly said to them that no matter if sanctions are imposed we will help you get the bill or cover a make up and when all the loads in the ear pain or american sanctions go have the effect that policymakers my part ok well we'll wait to see what happens but thanks very

after my meeting with the member state, now the parliament.rcumstances, united vigilant and calm. damian grammaticas has been following all of this. the prime minister's brexit or eu advisor, david frost, was here having meetings in the european commission. nothing new was tabled there, in terms of proposals for that irish backstop. now, what we do understand from sources is that what appears to have been discussed is that the uk brought customs experts, they talked through some ideas but they really talk through some other things, which once issues like the fact the uk, borisjohnson which once issues like the fact the uk, boris johnson wants to dump some of the things theresa may agreed with the eu, particularly these are things to do with a free trade agreement down the line, and these are provisions, things like level playing field provisions, so the eu wants guarantees of a level playing field on things like environmental rights, labour rights, if it is going to grant the uk access to its market in a free trade deal. the important thing ab

states. >> parliament has passed a law forbidding a brexit but the british public remains divided on whether the uk should remain in the european union with many questioning whether johnson has enough support to push his plan through. >> we are here taking a stance saying we want it to stop. we want to protect our right >> it is crazy. absolute madness. >>> operation -- opposition parties meeting late they are week to discuss their next move. ktvu, fox 2 news. >>> today, the late former president was given full military honors near the site. and was among the world leaders paying respects on were military. he was france's president from 1995 to 2007. he died thursday at the age of 86. >>> saudi arabia's crown prince says as a leader signal he takes full responsibility but denied he actually ordered the killing. stoled 06 minutes the murder was a mistake. saudi arabia has chang charged 11 people but no one has has been convicted. >>> two suspects recovering after a police shooting. a police officer said they saw a suspected stolen vehicle. the suspects took off and quickly hit a dead end. one

was about to enter a state parliament for the 1st time for the 1st time that they were maybe going to jump over that 5 percent threshold that we have here in germany for a party 2 and even a state regional polman and those rules apply national level too and now we're talking about the far right winning a quarter of votes here in saxony so still a lot of food for thought for angle america's government back in berlin and as we heard from. the saxony state premier. earlier this evening and he's talking now. about how parties need to stick together and talk with each other so it will be interesting to see whether this mentality resonates with the national government as well because goodness knows they've had their time of troubles in recent months particularly since they formed the current governing coalition in berlin back in early 2018 and some cohesion could indeed be exactly what they need for them to see through the current to the planned 2021 national elections all right a lot of food for thought indeed cator it will come back to you in a little bit there in dresden in the days lead

social democrats here in brandenburg in potsdam outside the the this is the state capital outside state parliament here and in saxony for the christian democrats the 2 parties have governed these states since the burden wall fell and now all of a sudden they find themselves just ahead of an extreme far right party. that's right and germany's economy overall has been doing perhaps ok in relative terms compared to other countries in europe and around the world but the problem here is the disparity that exists inside the country. yes that's right the point here is that east germans feel many germans that is feel that they have not been able to share in the benefits of the vibrant economy that the overall country represents certainly that's a feeling that the i have to tapped into the point here is that the 16 states of germany while there is a disparity in west germany where you tend to find much greater prosperity you find that the parties of the extreme left and the extreme right do not prosper so for example there was an opinion poll taken as a national level just a couple of days ago which sugges

the speaker, never shy of stating parliament is sovereign, said it should be back in business tomorrowall, the prorogation was unlawful and is void, to prepare for the resumption of the business of the house of commons. at a stroke, the supreme court decision has topped the government in its tracks and left the prime minister first frustrated by parliament and now constrained by the courts. jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster. joining me now from westminster is lord young, the former conservative cabinet minister and government chief whip, do you think the prime minister's position is tenable? if he does a number of things. first, he has to rebuild trust with parliament, which is severely bruised at the moment, andi is severely bruised at the moment, and i think he can do that as long as the current mood of the house of commons is there. jacob rees—mogg needs to go. no leader of the house should ever have agreed to this prorogation first or second, he needs to rebuild a unity in the party, restore the whip to the 21 who lost it and, at some point, bring back some of the very able peo

parliament. johnson asked the queen who is the head of state to suspend parliament for five weeks. for a new session but critics said it was to block any opposition to brexit. the deadline for the u.k. to withdraw from the european union is october 31. lady hale said the supreme court ruled unanimously that johnson acted unlawfully. he is now facing calls to resign, which he is steadfastly refusing. it's all part of a roller coaster of political chaos since the country voted to l teu in ak in june of 2016. the u.k., which remember scotland, wales, and northern ireland joined the european union back in the 1970's. they agreed to abide by a set of common rules and regulations set out by the european commission in brussels. many who support brexit say those rules strip the u.k. of its sovereign power. those who support remaining in the e.u. say the benefits of membership including access to a common market and the free movement of people is too of course, that's just the tip of iceberg when it comes to the obstacles facing any brexit plan. there's also the irish backstop which threate

well elsewhere on sunday voters in the german state of brandenburg will elect a new parliament survey suggests a tight contest with 5 parties closely matched a f.t. thinks it's leading the race and if that proves accurate when the votes are counted it would make brandenburg the 1st state in the whole country where a far right party tops the poll done when it came reports on a warm summer evening in lieu than these people have come to hear from the far right party the speaker is and they are skull bits the party's lead candidate in brandon bork and according to german media a man linked to neo nazi groups he denies some but not all of the claims the f.t. is popular in several areas of this state where unemployment remains higher than the national average and towns like lugar have an aging population although the immigrant population here is tightly count it says message is uncompromising on their part than still are we demand criminals so-called refugees who can only deported must 1st be in prison and one thing is clear integration means you adapt to the country it does not mean the co

scheduled to clash with the government's original choice of date for the queen's speech at the state opening of parliament may have changed all that, so mps tried to find out when parliament would be prorogued — lawfully — ahead of that promised queen's speech. on the issue of prorogation, i understand why he said he can't give us today because his consultations about the arrangements for the state opening. but can he at least confirm, which i'm sure he can, for the benefit of the house that the government does not intend to prorogue next week? prorogation will meet the judgment of the court, and therefore will be the time necessary to move to a queen's speech and no more. so, thanks to the supreme court, no more five—week suspensions of parliament. earlier, the international trade secretary made an unreserved apology to the commons for two breaches of a pledge not to licence exports to saudi arabia that could be used in the yemen conflict. liz truss told mps that two further breaches had come to light and it was possible that there would be more. she explained to mps what she thought had happened with th

parliament will now resume tomorrow. the queen is then due to set out the government's future plans at the state opening of parliament onr is due to go to brussels for an eu summit on the october 17th. in that time, he says he's hoping to negotiate a new brexit deal with the eu. borisjohnson is still insisting the uk will leave the eu two weeks later on october 31st, come what may. but at the moment, if he doesn't get a brexit deal approved by parliament, by law, the government has to ask the eu for another brexit delay. but it's probably fair to say that a lot could change between now and then. let's consider the reaction within the eu to today's ruling. 0ur europe editor, katya adler, is in brussels. what's the perspective there today and today's ruling in the supreme court and the way they see the brexit process being affected by it? well, the eu views the supreme court ruling as a domestic issue, so angela merkel and emmanuel macron have stayed silent. the european commission refused to comment. but a diplomat from a country close to the uk said today it was already looking difficult to get a revised brexit deal agr

parliament. that is how i put it. >> a two state solution. what you are so jesting might -- s -- so jesting uggesting, it is the court that parliament's prerogative. court weren't giving no --ication, >> that is what i was submitting to the court when i started this submission of remedy, that the appropriate way forward may be for the court to give declaration on the merit to give an indication what we think now want to happen over to necessary --ut if the court would have to deal with a thorny constitution question, or whether further relief is appropriate. that may be unnecessary. it may be in the light of a declaration and indication, this can be resolved in parliament. >> i'm sure mr. o'neill would say he is asking us to uphold the interlocutor of the house. >> i am reminded, president -- paragraph 17, the note the prime minister and the advocate general for scotland presented to the court this morning paragraph 17. it does say the court may find it would be unlawful for parliament to remain prorogue for any further period. the meeting of

then dozens if not hundreds of public servants in great britain and the european parliament and commission and member statesi and commission and member states does mike i cannot imagine that this can happen that somebody has a brilliant idea that nobody thought about it in the past three years. but it seems that we have run out of options. we have proposed a deal, which seems to be satisfactory for the european union and for great britain, as well. i would not say we are happy about it, because we would like you to remain, but that is your decision. we have a deal and until now we did not receive any new ideas oi’ now we did not receive any new ideas or proposals or some brilliant sedition as we have not thought about before. -- brilliant solution. iam sure about before. -- brilliant solution. i am sure you are about before. -- brilliant solution. i am sure you are aware about before. -- brilliant solution. i am sure you are aware of this move to try and get an extension put in place, what are your thoughts on that? to tie the truth, the european union to keep britain as long as possible. the second option

russian press but all the most serious note i would say that the election's over into russian parliament state doma what bill it was this whether there will peer conditions for proper political party development free and fair are whether there will be some kind of fresh blood being allowed in whether there will be new or ways going about politics that will be a kind of the albatross of things to come. considering the result of the election thus far do you believe that going forward when and or if there are further protests that the authorities will deal with them in a different manner. well i don't see the reason for the process but this particular moment because they were focusing on. these elections on the elections are over i am absolutely sure that the unfortunately mr which i will do something else in the not so distant future which would promote another way 1st but this we will most likely work but i think that we really need to. focus on those elections we see this. hour this regime is not on the ball. it is get the ball and that's probably the most all the ship outcome we saw in moscow

states. the u.k. parliament may force boris johnson to seek abraxane extension but france warns that even if he does a yes shouldn't be taken for granted. and how conflict is affecting children we have the latest from new york as the u.n. sends a message to world leaders. hello the taliban is warning that americans will suffer more than anyone else after the u.s. president donald trump called off secret talks to be held near washington the u.s. secretary of state says talks of the taliban are dead for the time being following a suicide bombing in kabul that killed an american soldier and 11 others. it was the case that when the taliban tried to gain negotiating advantage by conducting terror attacks inside of the country president from made the right decision to say that's not going to work we're going to walk away from a deal if others try to use violence to achieve better ends in a negotiation it's not right it's not appropriate killed american and it made no sense for the taliban to be rewarded for that kind

parliament will now resume this morning. the queen is then due to set out the government's future plans at the state opening of parliament on4th. there are just three weeks before the prime minister is due to go to brussels for an eu summit on october 17th. in that time, he says he's hoping to negotiate a new brexit deal with the eu. borisjohnson is still insisting the uk will leave the eu two weeks later on october 31st, come what may. but at the moment, if he doesn't get a brexit deal approved by parliament, by law, the government has to ask the eu for another brexit delay. but it's probably fair to say that a lot could change between now and then. with me now is tony travers, a professor at the london school of economics. afamiliar a familiarface a familiar face on the briefing. good morning, tony. good morning. what is your reaction to the supreme court ruling? it was a bit of a shock, we could say. politically, i don't think anyone was expecting the unanimity, effectively making the prorogation void. in fact, it was an 11-0 prorogation void. in fact, it was an ii—o vote by the supreme court, and what that does is to re

that went to of principles that government is subordinate to law and accountable to parliament and very strong stateday? a day of two halves, it was incredibly detailed legally and there was a strong sense that he had taken on the feedback and pushed him to provide more case law and there have been quite a lot of academic discussion and it seems that sir james took that and ran with it and gave a lot of exactitude case law and went through it and a very clear way. the other half, aiden o'neill had a finding of a dilemma because he cannot go over all of the arguments and rehash everything. he had a licence in some way to going different directions the first 20 minutes, in many ways, it brought some colour into debate and that is not unreasonable and then focus very heavily on the evidence and went through line by line some of the memos and some of the things being released and emphasised again and again the lack of an affidavit and contrast with some previous examples especially in scotland, and know that as a southern lawyer, if there had been still affidavits and i did not know that they are much l

the bbc interview and a sky news interview and in each of those, the prime minister himself stated that parliament was a threat to the implementation of his policies . neither of my friends lord keane nor sir james addressed that evidence. the documents on which the government relies are of limited assistance to the cocourt because there is no witness statement by or on behalf of the prime minister telling the courts that they contain the only reasons for a five-week prorogation. may i turn to the law? the arguments advanced by both of my friends as to main leads. first they say the issues are not just his civil and second, they dispute that there is any relevant principle of constitutional law . we responded that those two points go together. if as we submit there is a relevant principle of constitutional law, that is the supremacy of parliament and the inferior status of the executive in accountability, then it is a question of law for the courts whether in the light of that principle this decision is outside the proper scope of the legal power to advise on prorogation. sir james accepted and pr

it is going to be a packed day here in parliament, there are five state m e nts parliament, there areatements which the government wa nts to statements which the government wants to make, including statements on the thomas cook tobacco, the latest state of relations with iran. —— the battle. statement prime minister boris johnson. hold on, ithink statement prime minister boris johnson. hold on, i think this will come late, late, late in the day. before that, there are a blizzard of urgent questions which are demands for statements from mps. one suggested there were 32 requests, yes, 32, four urgent questions. that will be whittled down to three or four but they tend to take priority over statements so parliament begins sitting in about half an hour times, they will probably get about three urgent questions, i am guessing, that takes you to about gpm, then three government statements before you get to borisjohnson. —— 2pm. you might see borisjohnson late afternoon. what a moment, the theatre of the occasion. is this contrite chastened borisjohnson? or borisjohnson the contrite chastene

parking with the members of parliament or members of state counsel did not stop. i have continuous meetings with them. we have a number of consulted meetings with the parliament members and state counsel, women, youth. these are all consulted to meetings -- consulted to meetings to put a unified --ional project a problem is that there is a house every that it is in tripoli. foughtvision should be by the house of representatives. thank you, mr. prime minister very much. i'm glad you shared with us your thoughts and what is happening in libya. thank you all for being here. it is apparently -- there is a partly a bigger audience that was not allowed in on the waiting list. i keep on getting text messages for everybody. i hope they at least watched it on youtube where it was being live.asted and streamed translator: one more time, highly pleased to be in this great institution. among this great -- among this wonderful audience. i hope i have answered clearly and candidly the questions on people's minds. certainly, the situation in libya requires more than one meeting s
