Blair notably failed to offer corbin his own backing in backing away from the idea of themselves as a caretaker Prime MinisterGerry Kaufman is behave responsibly and if he continues to put country 1st he will benefit the country and himself he can now play a decisive role in how briggs it develops. But he should see an election before breaks it is decided that the elephant trap the days everyone here is gearing up for what feels like one of the most important moments in modern british political history which will help determine whether brits it will happen its all and if so under what terms for some time now parliament and in particular the conservative party have been tearing themselves to pieces maybe this eventually will be the defining moment the e. U. Is sitting in waiting watching for any piece of movements to clarify what will happen like everyone else want an end to all this Lawrence Leigh aljazeera in london. Well John Johnston is a reporter at the u. K. Pull up Politics News and analysis website Politics Home hes with me in the studio here in london good of you to join us is a very confusing situation particularly for an International Audience lets take things one as a time on to say whats going to happen is that some opposition parties and some rebel conservative m. P. s are going to put forth this proposal that the u. K. Goes back to the un says if we cant get a deal by the deadline of october 31st then can we have another 3 month delay of a likely get support for that idea in parliament there seems to be the support the plan is that they will seize control of the parliamentary agenda on tuesday with the intention on wednesday they will bring forward this new legislation now a quite controversial part of this new legislation that has just been released in the last few hours is that if the European Union agreed to an extension but did not accept the date which theyve put forward which is the 31st of january so a 3 month extension that borders johns who would be required to accept what ever they cantered worth now this could be a bit of a stickler when it comes to tory m. P. s backing it but it still seems like hes got the numbers there even with the threat hes made about general election as you well exactly so assuming that he does actually lose that vote in parliament that the vote is lets go back to the e. U. And asked for an extension the pm as effectively said as you know what that means im going to push for a general election is that what happens essentially we saw the speech from him where he said i dont want to have a general election the people dont want to have a general election but if you force me to go back to the e. U. I will not do it and you will essentially bind my hands and i will be forced to call a general election now this is what we kind of thought he was going to do its a threat to tory rebels in his party it comes after other warnings from him essentially saying that if they back this plan by the opposition m. P. s that they will be with they will have the whip withdraw in a sense to be kicked out of the parliamentary party. And they will also be forced to give up their seats they will not be allowed to stand as conservative m. P. s in the next election so hes really trying to put the screws on his own m. P. s to see if he can try and stop this attempt were talking here about a snap election though all we talking about an election before the brics it outline of whats a bit of 31st because the summary of what he might actually try and switch the election and have it after breaks that pretty confusing so at the moment the general consensus is there would be an election called around about the middle of october to coincide with this big e. U. Summit where were expected to get some more break news the way that his speech went today he was essentially setting this up as the People Versus Parliament election he knows that the general public are sick of elections of referendums you dont want to be seen as the one whos calling for political gain or hes essentially doing is saying to them ive been forced into this m. P. s wont let me carry out what i promised to do give me the backing and ill get through but this is what theories are made in 2017 and we ended up with a Hung Parliament so its a difficult position and a final thought before really about the European Union itself weve got this big meeting happening october the 17th weve got this idea that britain might go back and ask for an extension to the deadline all 27. 00 countries would have to agree to that is the likely i dont think the e. U. Would want to be seen as the architects of the new deal briggs so weve seen with these talks that Boris Johnson held with Angela Merkel and last week theyre willing to talk but you know i think ultimately they are they are as sick of this as anybody else you know the e. U. Leaders have already said we want to get over and done with its a chain around the u. K. s neck its a chain around our neck we need to get this sorted but ultimately i dont think they would want to be seen as the ones who triggered a new deal likes of the u. K. Johnston beautifully explained very much data. Wrong for minister says that European Countries are not fully committed to the Iran Nuclear Deal at a joint press conference with the Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov so if compared european nations on favorably to russia and china he said had contributed to the survival of the agreements with the name as the j c p o a european leaders have struggled to calm tensions between iran and the United States since president trampled out of the deal last year and sanctions on the iranian economy. We could see that russia and china as a partner have helped us in. Having a strong positions and who contribute to the continued survival of casey purely on fortunately we have not seen the same approach from the from the europeans they have not been able. To take the necessary action in order to put. Obligations on the. And the emergency evacuation of migrants from the greek island of less false has begun overcrowding and heat of made Living Conditions in the camps on the island unbearable the 1st group of evacuees all 635 afghans will be transferred to northern greece a new conservative government says its working to speed up asylum applications its also agreed to strengthen border patrols with the help of the e. U. Border control Agency Frontex has been a surge in arrivals from turkey of migrants and refugees in recent months.

In sport history is leading batsman gets ready for his return to test cricket and he is here with that story a little bit later. Lets bring you a story that we are continuing to follow as it develops a large explosion has rocked afghanistans capital kabul willis shaking windows and doors in an area close to the foreign embassies in Government Departments security sources say a guest house for foreigners has been attacked it is not known at this stage if anyone has been injured we will of course continue to follow this story as we get more details and will bring them to. Well this explosion happened as the u. S. Special envoy for afghanistan is in kabul where hes met with president musharraf ghani to discuss a draft of a deal with the taliban so that completed on one thread of talks with taliban representatives in qatar last week the deal centers on u. S. Troop withdrawal in return for security guarantees and dialogue with the government yesterday and today the president met with the ambassador. And he came and he briefed the president on what he has done. And what was his mission for the boston but in terms of working on a Peace Process that would eventually take us to 2 and next stage or next phase that will be a direct negotiation between the other government and the taliban. So he today when he came. He talked about the details of of that potential agreement of framework of that agreement that is going to be signed any time in the future or near future almost a kill well is the former afghan ambassador to pakistan he says the next stage of talks between the taliban and government will be crucial. Talks. Between taliban in the Afghan Government will be broader after politicians. Do not to place because of trust but because there is mistrust. If there are trusting we would not have. Having a plan but we do believe that there is well in this within the taleban. Intercept with a political settlement and there is the readiness within the broader Political Leadership in the planet for political men and then there is the International Minds that. Such a deal so all. The important elements. It leaves. The environment for peace talks that we hope that we think we must move on to i think theyre laying down arms comes out of the afghan talks as a result of the believe what in the taleban they will be part of the power structure negotiated power structure. But of part of the process of getting that and i think those indications of the fungus could be given to them have been given to them. Certainly are part of. The significant part of the talks and there will be a significant part of the settlement in the process of who the result of the process. In southern yemen heavy fighting continues between Government Forces supported by saudi arabia and separatists backed by the United Arab Emirates separate to say theyve regained control of aid in the port city which is temporary the capital of the un recognized government they have also been battles further east in shop or province Government Forces say theyve taken the city of as sandwich was control by separatists fighting us Elizabeth Kendall is Senior Research fellow at Oxford University she says disputes between the Government Forces and you a back separatists have diversity attention from the war in yemen the bombing on the detentions and shows that this war continues to rage in the north and that whats happening now in the south is simply a very i dont want to distraction from the overall war but its a start reminder of that very cool targeting that has been carried out by the Saudi Led Coalition shipping again and again in fact the video targets or at least targets where theyre asked clearly and i think its important to point out that while it may be true that the truth is what hiding weapons a month its a 1000000000 populations detainees that doesnt mean that thats their legitimate target it should therefore be avoided we now have the forces this is a loyal to the Yemeni Government its the forces ringback thats a loyal to the Coalition Partners in the south actually at each others throats so we do have now a war within a war and this is a potentially very explosive situation because it pits the north against the south in an old and very conflict prone fault line but it also has potential to spread inside the south into infighting inside the south and thats a real worry because that could flare up at any time.

Hezbollahs leader has vowed to hit deep inside israel if its attacked again warning comes after hezbollah fighters clashed with Israeli Forces on sunday night.

Going forward theres a new battlefield which is starting israeli drones in lebanon skies and it is in the hands of the has bill a few commanders israelis wanted to change the rules of engagement but we broke their red lines. In south africa 3 people have been killed during the latest riots in Johannesburg Police arrested dozens who broke into shops and dropped rolls of burning tires in several neighborhoods is the 2nd i would preach of unrest there within a week karma tasa has the story. The Police Say Dozens of people had been arrested mainly for public violence the trouble started sunday night by monday it has spread into some of the areas in johannesburg Central Business district like this one and throughout monday a lot of the shops and businesses on the street will close is the oldest trade the could be more looting theyve been running battles between the police add people on the streets throwing rocks and the police trying to push them back dispersed and move them out of the city center Officials Say the reason for this latest wave of violence looting could be unemployment which is nearly 30 percent in south africa some to the africans feel that they are tired and frustrated are having to compete with foreigners for scarce resources especially jobs missed say enough is enough but some say this is just criminal thugs taking advantage of a situation there is fears that those pockets of violence could spread elsewhere across the country as more people become increasingly frustrated with the lack of opportunities in south africa and it seems whenever these incidents happened if these people who own shops and who are foreign are the ones who are sometimes targeted. The number of People Killed by floods in sudan has risen to 80 hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced in recent weeks nearly every state in the country has been affected mom of all imports. I stand not far from the and tons of village that lies between here and the riverbed of the nile the riverbed itself is 4 kilometers from here all this land is submerged and for 20 days now people have been trying to extract their belongings from the village that has melted into water because most of the buildings there are made of mud bricks people telling us that they have tremendous difficulties in this respect because they dont have help from outside they dont have help from organizations they have food and they have tents and other supplies at the camp but right here in this effort to extract their belongings they are alone. This camp is located some 40 kilometers north of the capital khartoum and it is hosting about 7000. 00 people thats supposed to be the total of people whove been living in the area between here and the river bed the wild are only here you see tents that have been provided by the sudanese military but also other tents provided by private n. G. O. S and Food Supplies and other donations have been coming to this place for the last 3 weeks today and also a few days ago some cargo came from qatar and other countries and here even also some private n. G. O. S and local religious brotherhoods are supplying food and distributing as you can see this tent behind the is owned by one of the religious sects in sudan so everyone is trying to help and the situation is not really bad according to the people here but across sudan a lot of damage has been brought about by the floods the floods that took place some weeks ago and until now people are still assessing the damage. So nigeria now and whats been called a Pressure Cooker of violence is claiming 0. 05 of lives the un special rapporteur on executions has just ended a 2 week visit Agnes Kalamata vista gaited abuses by Security Forces and police both in the north where boko haram fighters and in southern nigeria where a separatist movement is gaining ground calamos report highlights excessive use of force by peace leading to killings and lack of investigations and prosecutions she also finds an absence of accountability and lack of justice for victims well agnes column on spoke with me earlier she repeated her calls for that idea in government to act now to end nationwide abuses but 1st explained her choice of words to describe the situation on the ground. Well i cannot really use any of the worlds Pressure Cooker i have found localized and contrary wide patterns of violence that are seen marine. And my. My main concern with those localized and country wide system so violence is that they are now taking place in new context characterized by population explosion by an increasing number of People Living next train poverty by the proliferation of weapons coming from throughout the region of west africa. And by the environmentalists decry additions to old laws external pressure applied on top of those core systems political systems of violence are reduced to conflagrate to explode. In no way which i dont think we have yet completely understood so my my preliminary finding today was really to issue this warning both to the government and to the International Community there is in nigeria a Pressure Cooker that if it is unchecked could have reported affect. The regions and now is the time to prioritise the rule of law and accountability for the people of nigeria agnes you use the word crisis and said in your press conference that you know you dont want the government to protect this is not a crisis but how did they view the situation that you bring up in your report. When you will have to ask them i think i dont think i have made any sharp or stark revelations to their government whether or not. Authorities are willing to admit the extent of the problem is a different matter but in all my meetings with the majority of my meetings with office showed there is an acknowledgement of the scale and the extent of the problems that give me some hope that the. Authorities with the necessary leadership and political will will be able to begin a road map towards addressing the lack of accountability towards ensuring that killings particularly by the police but not only that all the killings are investigated that the systemic factors such as the lack of resources of the police a lack of training that all those resources all those resources issues are addressed let me remind you that nigeria is a midori income country so i have parched the questions of arbitrary killings within that context and what i have found is not in keeping with what i would expect form a middle level country middle income country. With thousands of students in hong kong of skip classes to keep up pressure on the government for change and to reduce chinese control protest organizers of called for a 2 day general strike if either of those demands way hey reports from hong kong. City students in hong kong i was the center of the protest movement thats lasted 3 months its been a long Summer Holiday fighting for democracy and greater rights but their voices are is loud and strong as ever and they want the battle to continue being that. If the rules. For you don. Thats the real and so we think that we have to use any methods it needs to fight for democracy on day one of the new school year thousands came from around hong kong to the Chinese University known for its political activism. On this day for the students there were no books in sight no lectures to attend just a rallying call to begin a strike for 2 weeks. In that time they want the government to meet their demands including an independent investigation into the crisis or the intensify their campaign their announcement came in state media in china issued new warnings that the end is coming for hong kongs protesters there is no sign the threats coming from Mainland China are deterring the use of hong kong if anything it appears to be having the opposite effect of becoming emboldened more determined to achieve their goals. Organizers say around 10000 secondary School Students decided to join the strike or course some who have joined street protests over the past 3 months say Political Awareness is growing among schoolchildren in the past they dont really care about political. Think eating drinking are saying its more important but what really makes me feel for touched is in the past 3 months many of them really start caring about the political. The government criticize the decision to allow schools colleges and universities to be dragged into the crisis schools should not be use as plazes for raising political or trying to exercise pressure on the government on political yes whose we would like to keep schools as calm peaceful and orderly place for students to study. Representatives of workers from 26. 00 does also called for a 2 day strike while thousands. That in the city to protest work is it queen mary hospital formed a chain to show their support. But its in the universities where the power base of the protest movement can be found striking students have placed their education on hold for 2 weeks they say their books can wait because the future they are fighting for is more important when harry aljazeera hong kong embark in a fossil 2 generals have been jailed for organizing a failed coup 4 years ago public protest war said the overthrow attempt by forces loyal to the i was to president plays come portray he was forced from power by a Popular Movement opposed to attempts to extend his 27 year rule he now lives in exile in neighboring ivory coast Indonesian Police in power or province have been seen shooting at protesters who have appeared to have their head hands over their heads the video was filmed last week but its only now been made public a local activist said protesters wanted to enter an Administrative Office peacefully but places suddenly began shooting 6 bodies were found in front of that building indonesian Officials Say one soldier was also killed indonesias security minister is urging calm and pop up but also her
