U. By the end of october but the European Unions warn that the Prime Minister that this is pretty much the best and only deal that he will get Charlie Angela has more now from westminster. Inside 10 downing street a rousing welcome from a loyal team Prime Minister Boris Johnsons new cabinet dominated by brecks it hardliners at the 1st pep talk and we have a momentous task of the people in our countrys history we are committed. To leaving. Because you dont know if theyre not. Interrupting the promises theres far too much noise in this training but in parliament a very different mood johnson had promised to unite the conservative party but his ruthless decision to sack or sidelined 17 senior ministers may have done the opposite. His 1st statement was one of optimism channeling his hero Winston Churchill promising a golden era for britain and then a message to the European Union asking them to rethink the current deal in their country that values its independence and indeed it so for suspect could agree to a treaty which signed away our economic independence and selfgovernment as this back story does a time limit is not enough if an agreement is to be reached it must be clearly understood that the way to the deal goes by way of the abolition of the backstop a request politely rejected by brussels with the e. U. Chief negotiator saying that eliminating the backstop is unacceptable and not within the mandate of the European Council a message reiterated by the Outgoing European Commission president in a phone call with Boris Johnson with saying that the position on the Withdrawal Agreement is the best and only way possible this is the last day parliament will sit before breaking for the summer but the challenges facing the new Prime Minister and negotiate a new breaks that deal in just 98 days. Its a deal the e. U. Says cannot be renegotiated and fix a multitude of problems facing britain and Health Care Education and security all with a parliamentary majority of just 3 many say the country could be heading for a general election i think that Boris Johnson if he sees that hes going to lose a vote of say no confidence in the house of commons i think he would rather call the election than wait for his government to fall and the election to follow he would rather stay on the front foot so i think the whole of britain ought to be on the alert for an early snap general election called perhaps right at the beginning of september that might happen. That this gets to these this is a Prime Minister with a deadline like no other facing unprecedented opposition hoping his optimism is infectious Charlie Angela aljazeera london. I have now to Andrew Symonds whos in westminster faurisson andrew Boris Johnson again reiterating that he can and will reopen and renegotiate that Withdrawal Agreement whats the word then from brussels any reaction from european leaders today. Well its one really of sentence of the situation defiance very much. A start shall i put of battle lines being drawn ready undoubtedly because as you heard charlie say in her report Michel Barnier was in no way accepting it he said on acceptable Boris Johnson told the houses of parliament the full package to the gunnels assembly of m. P. s he told them that what was unacceptable was the deal thats been rejected 3 times by the house of commons and that the only way forward was to either as he put it the abolition of the backstop which is the insurance device to protect the Irish Republic to actually prevent a hardboard he says thats got to go to no time limits or any deal like that it has to go he also said that they need to turbo charge the government needs a target george preparations for a no deal brix it and that is the way hes working so as far as body is concerned hes put a message out to the 27 Member States that britain is steadfast in this that he said that we must follow carefully further political and economic reaction now that could be a hint that hes expecting possibly an election head of october the 31st the deadline there are some pointers that that could happen to Boris Johnson as you can see from his performance 2 hours with under 29 questions bashing on bashing on at the opposition and jeremy cole been continually coming under attack corben in a very. Sort of draw i just responding and saying that he basically felt that this man Boris Johnson really was assuming he knew it all those are words to that effect and he also referred to him as being a sort of trump like person in other remarks so he carried carried all known all on all during this debate promising all sorts of aspects of further development in areas of the economy and also tax breaks and other things including even ship building for the royal navy but the part of bottom line is this that the summer recess is underway now Boris Johnson wont be resting there a shock waves going through europe right now and there could be a general election as early as october thank you very much Andrew Symonds in westminster.

The headlines at the stream is coming up next on aljazeera but there will be more news after that in about half an hours time ill see you later. Hundreds of residents of poor cape town neighborhoods have lost loved ones in tit for tat gang attacks and now theyre saying army troops on the streets and for me ok im really could be loud today will ask whether a military operation in one of south africas biggest cities can help bring lasting peace to communities blighted by violence send us your thoughts through twitter and you tube. For years police in cape town have struggled to reach a deadly Gang Violence in parts of the city known as cape flats as an area that has been hunting black brown South Africans since the apartheid era the situation in the flats is now so bad the soldiers in armored cars are on patrol to help restore order the units of the south African National Defense Force began rolling into 10 precincts on july 18th as part of a 3 month deployment called operation prosper its hoped that the armys presence will give overworked police breathing space to investigate crimes but detectives have an overwhelming caseload 43. 00 people were murdered across cape flats in the weekend preceding the deployment heres what residents said as soldiers rolled in. They are yeah oh me oh yeah. And i want to thank the government for my good decision. The because on me the children people studying every day i dont study this new thing that is a pretty. Surprising is we. Feel like i should move from. Find another place to be. And then i dont want to make my temperature too much. To eat even. For more on this situation we are joined from Cape Town Sponsor hopeful precinct by Henrietta Abrams she is a community and social justice activist for her home it is the me maam and Community Activists who joins us from cape towns manenberg precinct from amsterdam we have the under thurman she is a visiting fulbright scholar who has studied policing in cape town and albert fritz is the minister of Community Safety in western capes province or government hes in cape town hello everybody it is good to have you here. I want to start with some video aljazeera been covering the situation in cape flats for some while now this is for media minute she got some overall video of residents who were living in different precincts in cape flats and they were in their homes busy in their neighborhoods taking pictures and videos of what was happening around the area so how look at this video i want you to tell me how accurate it is is this every day occurrence is lets take a look together. I mean the phone with us. Otherwise looks like ill shut them up for a while and ill tell one percent of avid antiflash i love all of it. Thats part of one part of this in the little correctly pointed out the release of 2 thirds because cain precincts. That can double a start over time but its a lot of time and really the reason why weve actually eventually called for the army to come and to be deployed in those dancers are the reasons for that is that the street the police didnt just want to have any capability and resources to control the kind of violence that was a rampant i mean we had the pulp the disposal 427000 was more than 4000 people was it 28 in exceeded another 4000 this year we were under group of go into that but im happy to say since the deployment and some very very strong policing interventions there was a reduction to the last 2 we can that came right down to 25 got pretty far still a lot but 25 families than 55 thats the 2 weekends ago so i think its an important point to say that very clearly policing and community lation jobs with the police was completely lacking and i think thats one of the reasons why we have that compounded by economic real real social or Economic Issues in those communities are you know unemployment is rampant and therefore at a very interesting call this almost got cut to be about the one that you really want the us people to come to cape town and really promote cattle because the 2 it is really contribute to job creation for those very people on the other side and where we have people visiting the less we can actually get those kind of violence thats a very strong. But i think. People you know could go like in. London. You know of course its interesting that you mention several things there and i like the point that you ended on which is its putting this in context because we have people already in the you tube chat who are watching live now saying this looks like my own hometown of chicago this looks like other places in the world but its that reason seeing the fear and hearing those screams that were seeing tweets like this this is who says maybe the military is the best solution and thats whats needed to bring order because these criminal gangs they dont fear of police i am in support of military intervention on the other hand though adding a little nuance to this conversation is someone who says the army are not meant to fight crime they are meant for war if the police and other special forces cant handle such cases then what are they being paid for its time africa grows up they write how long will the army be on the street and what will the work of the police be so ill give this one to you the army clearly this person doesnt think its the right group to come in the police should be doing this sort. I am agreeing with that person so for me we have been on this its march ing and protesting for years or 5 or 678 years weve been watching and weve been our government local government the interim government the National Government to do something about it what we must understand is that. Weve we going through systemic violence we going through structural violence and government in all its entirety has never done anything weve been asking for years for the to do a deployment offered us also a store of e. D. S. E. D. S. Are working for us it is yet ugly thats yet another province to take it easy as from from well it is also it is or at least that lets them. Weve also been talking about the working class it is thats thats living in abject poverty so we dont have jobs rightly as its now we dont have jobs we dont have opportunities we we we are through we are unemployed with not really a chance so our people and our children are all linked with threats not National Government not in missys thats government was our provincial government have been putting resources its good yes the army is you know and i did not agree with the army coming in but ive given up so in the meantime the army cant give us a job. And any of the army cannot give us all the counseling the army had a thing you know is that legalization since all of these things so not as a whole needed as it was. So as i and i hear you night youre outside of south africa right now i just going to jump in and ask a man because hes in manenberg one of the precincts actually youve got the army right there in what difference does it make it might help. Yeah i just i just wanted to mention that we understand what the viewers are saying that the army is not trained for these types of policing but what do you do as a community you know are there should this but asian people as being hoping that perhaps the military might might bring a solution but it was a push and listen we need Solutions Like i mentioned earlier on. This war on the complex so low intensity a war thats been spiking then it comes down in spikes again so this only out there should this been asian that communities come together and come to this region most of the parliament because it seems like government has been dragging their feet and for so many years its not the bill its not 2 years ago people have been calling for the army up to see this but ocean we understand the fact that the army is not going to do this but we were hoping that the military might like us it could bring about change because our people you heard the young men saying earlier it doesnt feel well you doesnt want to you want to get out of the place we grew up its not so premium we want to take this barely out we love our places on the complex this good people under complex we can contribute to the development of this country but our people are not given a chance to do so so i had to go ahead and he wanted to jump and i just wanted to get the view from inside one of the precincts where the army i literally Walking Around i had to that. I absolutely agree with with henrietta i mean i think the really difficult situation here is that you know that the military will be there for certain amount of time for about 3 months if im not mistaken and but what will happen after those 3 months the same police were overwhelmed right now are going to be overwhelmed in 3 months and theres still has been very little done to start off to the source and to pay to train Police Officers in exactly what needs to be done to solve this problem long term. And so im not saying that nothing should be done right now im saying that there must be there must be a longer Term Solution because we have seen the military before in manenberg in 201540 emitted operations and theyre being deployed again 4 years later to the exact same area so were really struggling with with a situation of there not being a Long Term Plan and and as the man says you know people are calling for the military out of desperation this shouldnt be a desperate situation we know that there is that there is enough political will to solve this problem long term its just not being applied then theres someone on twitter who is on the exact same wavelength of you so this is khadija and ill give this to you albert a couple tweets here so it could be just as the deployment of military forces where there should have been a more responsive Police Service has not helped anyone deployments are temporary they lack oversight and often lead to greater feelings of discomfort in our community some im picking up on the temporary part of that but someone else writes in opposition to that almost simply to the size i believe that the military will be able to root out the rough elements back up the Police Forces and the heavily armed areas and act as a deterrent then Crime Intelligence and the gang unit can continue from there so this person has the idea that the military is there to back up police and then eventually police will be able to have the resources enough to do the work themselves that peaceable if so go on point weve always been so was that in fact we. Will know when he was come we also think we need stabilization and i think. Really what. We need stabilization and to do good intelligence but not good policing where proper policing capability well you know its ok for people to a bus or. All of those weapons what agree with. Is that we was then look at the good one we. Didnt we look at the little kid the alternative the little and you could walk. Him through. The. Hour but im just going to jump in here because im losing you a little be our last skype connection but we will reconnect with he said we can hear you clearly and yet i remember suddenly you said that the authorities are doing nothing theyre doing nothing to help that is a bold statement maybe what they doing is not effective for instance when for media miller whos from aljazeera went to put on a fashionista looking at some of the initiatives to stop Gang Activity have a look at this and then id love to have your thoughts about it 8 months ago the government set up the anti gang unit whose work is to root out gangs guns and drugs it conducts daily raids searching the homes of known drug dealers and drug dins while the unit is made hundreds of arrests the city of cape dancers are nearly not enough officers special operations like this havent stopped Gang Violence on the cape flats according to government statistics the number of murders has increased this weekend alone 43 people were murdered more than half of them by gunshot. Henrietta that was about 11 days ago so not that long ago maybe the measures just arent working ok what has happened last year we were in and really more and more specialized. To be deployed and really got. So aging us doing their work and im of our community as well and in love with you but they are what you are and because of quality those problems. You had politics among themselves politics between the local government or the provincial government and National Government as was competences out was competence so weve put incident when people head to head on the 1st of april. Of all and im based a. G. U. Place in our it and because of the politics it could be they didnt give us the buy it so so they plainly they playing games without peoples lives politicians and we are tired of losing up people the other thing that needs to happen so we have the police that is under the source but at the same im the police and the if and the Intelligence Services and the Justice System is not working properly were one another they are not working and they are not we need gang courts if if a gangster or criminal is been taken they part of this underground or organized crime they need to be taken to were going or we the the prosecutors the judges the magistrates the detectives everybody need to work and in ground so that they feel. Like it with the middle of and that you would be in hashmi and they out of our communities but now a. G. U. Almost out of these courses yes these people do days later you find the same kind of and its their communities that you know out what this is that once things have occurred to me just say for our benefit of our own its for the ag use the anti gang units make it ahead so we have this from victor from here and victor says the problem is that the military seems to focus on the laid low gangs the dangerous times our early mornings where thugs rob people to work and evenings when they are going from work on those critical times you dont see the military and keep flats in reading the street as an outsider its been almost seems unimaginable an unimaginably difficult to talk to us about every day life that people like this like victor here are saying its dangerous to go to work and to come home. You know that if that is the entity of the life of people in cape town you know people youre not safe with youre going to work with your kids if you are in work you want it if your kids are going to be safe you need to check conscript continuously be on the lookout be on social media to check of this any updates as theyve been in a shooting reported so this is this is the reality that our people live in and i agree with him later when she mentioned that we need to look at if it means that we need to change the laws of this country we need all Government Departments to come together our people use is a we of the political game that our Political Parties are playing with our lives and whenever they do something with the implementor something they want the names to be added and they want they want to point for you know to go next to the party names so our people are sick and tired of the Political Parties we want the president to step in we are only going to tell you you know that the government is serious when the president stepped in it the president forms a dance team a corrosive it is Government Departments education out in safety the videos department and Correctional Services we even if it means that we need to look at the reviewing our criminal Justice System you know. Whither we are going to look at the punishment thats been out to criminals look at the conviction that. We need a lift sick approach we need an all hands on big approach from government in order to win this fight or to do a pretty effectively have to change or to change the condition that the people on the complex phone ourselves in so our album in a month theres a Historical Context that would be remiss of me if i didnt bring up is obvious to your South Africans but the cape flats area the people who many people live there now were removed from where they used to live in the party area and they were just dumped in that area economically they are still suffering obviously weve seen the pictures of the Gang Violence this is really important i dont people around the world not understand this hour but. Yes the libby quickly also say so that historic is this and were moving on from that well because people who were kicked out of the dyslexics and kept on cloning to a Community Called in the book one of the big big but i want to say to the humanity in the to and in the little most important people we have the production under the young what is called faith. A Community Safety of network of you know young men deployed since the 1st of july there wasnt one killing in that place you know in town so i think its important there are 2 of those are to the in my book is having a product a committee with all those departments are in and moving into the hot spots to go in exactly provide those services in a proactive way getting young people on to what we call the chrysalis Youth Development program and ill tell you when they get out of the they go into all it is even iraq is. Now lets allow alan and alan amberg allow the answer to have a conversation with him and i have. To be honest with minister albert the reality is if the Political Parties about 23 months ago we had the election campaigns if all the Political Parties could only give 20 percent of the time energy and resources that they put into the election campaigns if they can shift that energy into the crisis that were facing and the cape let them believe me we can have a solution within 2 or 3 years but Political Parties you know unfortunately they want to they wanted the they want that point they arent living. But if we want to get a Political Party take a 12 and go a group and solve the problem thats important but thats what it is what we want to see right now i have a question about i have a question about why an intervention like the one that you mention in the sea has taken so long if the da for example has been calling for the military since 2011 why is an intervention like the one that you mention only happening now this is this is not something thats come up in the in the last couple of years its been through years of neglect from everyone it is not just i dont think it is everyone across the board i know times in france not praiseworthy preakness and the role of the problems with this government in the laws that we never publicized but i could tell you we have a look when you think of places in this province young people have access to amazing opportunity at those youve got friends we have i mean the ground loop in things if you work by our social workers doing through more counseling in every community we will not be the real problem that she will slide i mean what ive told us when we buy yeah is that we are yoakum are going up but. I want to tell you im going to jump in here because ill great i hear your point that there are youth cafes and work is being done to engage the youth and reactor i want your thoughts with this video pam and i want to play because someone from our community her name is charity marring shes a ph d. Candidate in public law in capetown and she says thats exactly the idea we need but theres not enough money being given to that so have a listen to what she told us. Also cost the country about 24000000 rand which could be used in to add the resources of religious the needs that young people have in these communities so my Research Found that one people joining these gangs because of a lack of opportunities in adequate schooling not good role models and broken families and if that 24000000 could be seen to have the and integrated response to addressing the needs that these young people have it who would create even more for them to be resilient to the poor with gangs have so they have to do think that the root of this problem is lack of opportunities. It is lack of opportunities and it is also continued up our great special plenty it is also continued up our then in really we not enough but he sources or very little resources are being thrown into our blood into our working class across the thats so what you have is that the majority of the budgets are being spent on drawing tourists into the city it is being spent in the leafy suburbs and we on the cape left now working with us on the list all the same as it used to be before 9094 and that is a that we are living in a lab out of the city which is you can only offer that its so for me a numbers on holds politicians that is a must see for the next number this is due to the politicians as the young adults of its loading are we going to make my promise that i am still screaming the budget then the is no money then they tell us it is it is they think that theres no money we had that supposedly what skeer that that yes it is our ticket and they took it all 1000000000 that was supposed to be spent and ill see big deal for instance you are important and they look at what were what and they made billions but those were little and i wondered a little time to 5 id like to know why why do you have. That look i need as a little guy so i guess im going on at all just just to take a pause final thought for a moment because we we here hear how not everybody is on the same page as to how you solve a major issue about communities personal safety we funk you albert in mom henrietta and also sigh and for giving us a very candid inside into what is happening cape flats in cape town in south africa right now thank you so much mika. Khadija here on twitter says the allocation of Police Resources is wholly an equal and south africa especially in communities of color so start there a lot for joining us once again i will always see you on my way at.
