In hong kong had come to view as a symbol of a much larger problem the government will formally withdrawal the bill in order to actually allay public consensus. The secretary for security will move a motion according to the rules of procedure when the Legislative Council rescind the billet to months of protests that have at times paralyzed parts of the city seen hundreds of arrests and regular violence with police the honorable mr kerry lunch and previous overtures from chief executive kerry lamb to suspend the legislation in june and then announce that it was did in july failed to end the rest there are more large rallies planned in the days ahead which is when well find out of kerry decision will have the desired effect or of protesters believe its come way too late the protest is viewed debil is just another example of Mainland Chinas growing influence on hong kong so its withdrawal could be seen as a writ concession by beijing demonstrators demands have evolved into broader democratic reforms and an independent commission of inquiry into the crisis and the actions of police. Rarely organizers say the legislations withdrawal will be celebrated briefly but its not enough to end the crisis and by not agreeing to all the demands they believe kerry has proved again shes out of touch with her people caroline herself irrelevant she already proved so many times too many times to all people that she really doesnt care about own people if a leader behaved like that people will not care about at all. The announcement came less than a day after a private conversation was leaked to the media in which lamb said shed resign and apologize for the chaos if she could that was seen as an indication that it was china that would decide her fate and that of the bill even some progovernment politicians believe withdrawing the legislation is the right thing to do but its too late if you ask anybody in the street what they did still remember what that there was about i think probably 20 percent can tell. The protesters i dont even 10 percent remember. Which is likely to mean that this citys crisis is far from over wayne hey Al Jazeera Hong Kong well i can aljazeera when we come back the scale of the devastation left by american dorian is now emerging as the storm moves towards the southeast United States and israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers an unprecedented speech in hebron will have the reaction to that.

Now antigovernment protesters are gathering in argentinas capital buenos aires they are angry at president attempts to steer the country out of a worsening financial crisis the measures include currency controls which limit foreign transactions exceeding 10000. 00 a month. My chris attempts 4 years of financial volatility thoughtfully as a result of a weak currency and high debt large spending led to huge government deficits back in 2007 the last of the decade as investors began to leave the country when argentinas low market standing and high import freeze became unmanageable president who was defeated in the primaries last month is now under pressure to improve the economy before the elections in october years theresa byrd out with the protesters on the streets of the argentinean capital. Were here in the center of what a sight is it right in front of the social Development Ministry thats where hundreds of people have gathered here to protest against the government and demand that the government passes that thats known as the food emergency plan that would speed up the process of the government being able to send food argentinas most vulnerable neighborhoods weve been talking to several people here and theyre saying that the amount of people going to soup kitchens have doubled and that children are point hungry and that many many cannot make and that beats whats happening in argentina right now the country and the government are struggling with a devaluation of the base so karen see thats caused by capital flight people heading to the bank to get the u. S. Dollars they have there is that reminder of the crisis that happened back in 2001 when i didnt you know again. Huge economic crisis they got and right now as me trying to train stations affecting the countrys most vulnerable like we do think that tax some basic items creasing minimum wage among other things but these people are saying that its not enough and also implemented some currency control in order to stop this hemorrhage of us daughters that for many years. Previous prices. That have not ended with an update on harken dorian now which is moving closer to the u. S. Softer devastating much of the bahamas 7 people died. To on the ivans of the Prime Minister says that number is likely to rise in the hof of all homes on the 2 most affected imans would damaged or destroyed dorian not threatening the east coast of the United States move from jet a gray now at the latest on the u. S. Evacuations and preparations from Savannah Georgia weve had a band arraign move through and its just going to get progressively worse that conditions or over the next several hours here were right in the middle of that forecast path and most here in savannah who have been told to evacuate it looks like they have for the most for there are those who are going to ride this out in and though weve seen plenty of them but yesterday they actually loaded buses up and move people who didnt have another way out into shelters outside of the potential strike zone here will see this storm continue to move mirroring the coast an end if it does make landfall it looks like at this point it would be by the end of the week and that would be in the outer banks of North Carolina its been losing a bit of it steam an and certainly some of its organization the eye wall not as organized as that used to be with a storm itself has spread out so it may affect more communities but not nearly as powerful is what they saw on the bahamas and boy you feel for everyone in the islands theyre seeing the devastation it left behind there is growing outrage after a new series of xenophobe it attacks on foreign owned businesses in south africa South African browns faced reprisal attacks by protests to is in countries that nigeria and zambia forcing those stalls to close until further notice the Ethiopian Embassy is warning it citizens to avoid any confrontations also a football match between zambia on sub africas been canceled in the leaders of rwanda and malawi of pulled out of a World Economic forum event being held in cape tom earlier we spoke to some of those a few ken a who is they policy and political analyst of the university of south africa he says this on wrist is lansley contained to the South African townships where theyve already not complaining of security as well as a program. Or dealing with ready. Somebody. Who are especially during elections and to take its implications on the issue or are they not blaming many things which are not going well in the country and also the Law Enforcement and the economy condition in the country all of those come by if not well money just then they create this cyclical tension in what in our models and logos ready especially those who are in the moment because the middle class and those in the upper class you hardly ever year or sides tend getting into this level but head in the homes its the interface in the locals who are at the lower level. Interface israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a contentious visit to hebron in the occupied west bank he gave a speech which there which makes him the 1st israeli Prime Minister to do so that you know hes there as part of a campaign ahead of the elections on september 17th palestines Foreign Ministry those condemned his visit as quote racial and colonial hundreds of jewish settlers to live in the israeli controlled part of hebron which is home to 40000 palestinians and then a volume initial up of we are not coming to dispossess anyone nor will anyone dispossess as hebron will not be cleansed of jews we are not strangers in hebron we will remain there forever. Palestinian protesters accuse nothing yahoo of using his visit to have run to gain votes from right wing israelis. I think we just got a problem bringing you that clip from. We did speak to akiva eldar who is a columnist for al monitor says israel polls and he says netanyahu his biggest concern now is to have his policy emerge as the biggest winner in the election. We are now 2 weeks before the general elections and he was gonna do much to get such coverage hebron is part of the voters and actually even the general public part of the consensus with the holy sites and the jewish quarter so he may may get. Good coverage and in this context of the elections talking to his constituency and trying to grab extra voters from the radical right we can now what he is focusing on is to come out in september 17th and the Largest Party and to get the mandate from the 1st ones to get a mandate from the president to form a new government places that are one reason to be concerned about violence and this wet ground of the relationship between jews and arabs jews and muslims this is the holy city of jerusalem and the holy city of hebron so. I would be very careful these days not to grab the attention of the muslims and give a reason for the extremists from both sides to celebrate so to speak on the this tension in hebron United Nations is preparing to move more displaced syrians from a remote camp along the border with jordan home to about 15000 people at the u. N. Says half of them are refusing to leave despite the time Living Conditions and a father explains why. The last time aid reached this makeshift camp was in february rock band is close to the border with jordan and this besieged by the syrian army which decides if and when food and medicine reaches the thousands of people inside the United Nations describes the situation is desperate and says conditions are abysmal but it cant do anything without the approval of the authorities in damascus. We were told 2 days ago that the u. N. And will deliver aid either on the 4th or the 5th of september or since february we have received only a small amounts of food and medicine through smuggling routes but they are not enough and too expensive. A u. N. Team visited the camp in august but its mission was only to determine how many people remained inside and who wanted to leave the Organization Says it is planning to help those wanting to return voluntarily to government held territory. Bandcamp was estimated to accommodate about 40000 syrians in recent months the u. N. Says almost half have left for Syrian Government controlled areas it believes some 15000 remain and its survey showed nearly half dont want to leave or are not. We didnt register with the u. N. To return to regime here is you and couldnt give us guarantees they told us they cant guarantee what happens when we leave receptions into. The Syrian Government is effectively giving the people in rock band no option but to return to areas under the states control or starve the dire conditions are believed to be the reason why many have left despite human Rights Groups saying some of those who have gone are being detained and ill treated. We have been able to document the detention of at least 37. 00 men who left rock band to government controlled areas these people were arrested and taken to intelligence branches in damascus and holmes also they are forcing men to join the army in a month or 2 it was agreed that they would be. Given 6 months so many syrians want safe passage to opposition controlled areas in the north and if they cant get it they want regular food and medical aid the un says it cannot make any promises as it is an observer in the repatriation process and doesnt have restricted access to return knees so many who are staying say they have to as they are left with no choice.

Police in south africa try again to stop writing and looting in some poor neighborhoods in and around johannesburg its been like this since sunday some of the businesses and shops are vandalized belong to foreign nationals this is not the 1st time mohamed atta hussein has been through this he says his other store in another part of the city was looted last year because if he had Something Like this. How can his dragon. Make something for my kidneys from a chicken dance from my parents today libya come from sort of the like not for a crime or whatever. Only for.

A 14 foot in the shop im a sort of a citizen blois said if you see people that worked for me in the shop and they told me its just to be a community attack that it could be another running at a loss of im without words i dont know what else to say. Some say the countrys high Unemployment Rate now nearly a 30 percent white space poverty and inequality are to blame for the violence. In 2008 at least 60 people were killed and more than 50000 forced from their homes when many fire African Nationals were targeted 4 years ago at least 7 people were killed some to the africans feel they are competing with outsiders for scarce jobs. Human Rights Groups say anti immigrant comments made by some politicians are making things worse they said xenophobic sentiment underlying this about foreign us everything to leave we are a democracy we are a Democratic Society we cannot allow people to take the law into their own ends there is no country that doesnt have for a measure now this president has condemned the attacks as in a full week and an acceptable more than 100 people have been arrested for public lands arson and looting but in some areas the police seem overwhelmed making it easy for some people to stay in the street aljazeera janice both. Lets introduce our panel now joining us from johannesburg the coat of the National Spokesman for the governing a. N. C. Party in durban we have daniel dona provincial coordinator for the Campaign Group right to know and also joining us from johannesburg academic russian dudu she is the former director for the consortium for refugees and migrants in south africa good to have your with us mr mcwhorter let me start with you then beyond the statements of condemnation from president run opposer what is the government plan to do to stop attacks like this happening again because this isnt the 1st time of course that weve seen waves of violence like this against foreigners in south africa. Very very much to all of us at all. Lucas the African National congress who would want to retaliate the position that was stated by our president that we condemn this particular criminal that will fall just on his terms and we see decide to speak up on posture that can be dying by any nation against its own people and we all want to put things into context you know when this whole matter started it was last week when it started inside his site where in a text your parade i wanted to do what we call a citizen artist to a nigerian was selling drugs and that nigerian shot that picture and it gave rise to all the problems that we have it is a matter that started from a genuine case of fighting that ive paid lee but he turned ugly and now he does being hijacked by an opportunist and criminals were going our own group in shops particularly shops which belonged to foreign nationals as African National congress we have made it very clear to all our deploys in government that the police must act all security agencies must act and where possible criminal elements must be us that so that we ensure that the stability but if i do want to place very clear that would not encourage anyone from anywhere in a part of the world to come to our country destabilize an undermine our civility to an extent even of 1000 wipe of the next generation through trucks or through illegal oil licit substance or her own actions which i conflict with the laws and the rule of law in our country and we do this with the careful consideration. With would want to encourage our minister of Foreign Office and International Relations to engage all live. In to do all the ministers in the region in the subject region including into a you try to. Speak to this particular matter of the challenge of tracks of the challenge of relations amongst nation and the issue of neutral respect among the nations so that we do not have a repeat of this particular matter but we did have it once and for because its a matter that cannot be left unattended because if its left unattended it means people will live to take the law into their own merits and its something that we cannot encourage and we want to put it kind of were going to all sort of currents that would want london would have to take the law into their own merits allow the police or criminal investigations to be done on this particular matter so that we find a number of couples solution those who are dealing with diplomacy on other issues of International Relations live them come to the party and some of those who are dealing with the issues of internal affairs let us ensure that all foreign nationals were in their country are equally protected and we expect them also to do so when you know of law and the despair when youre going to most when you talk about not wanting in not wanting to see people take the law take matters into their own hands when you have Public Officials in south africa like the Health Minister for example talking about foreign migrants being a strain on services and other officials making statements similar to this what message does that send to those who want to carry out these attacks who may have been just waiting for a chance like waiting for a chance like this and just would do it for their own reasons. Nope there were that was said by those of us it does not represent our position as a party you must know we at the African National Congress African meaning that we find our existence in terms of an African Nationalist movement with an i dont want to call for an African Nationalism which is based on a principle of when one of the things promoted by its you may notice its you military and being hobbled so much Oil Corporation amongst nation its something that we have embraced as the a. N. C. Even since our formation in 112. 00 our Historical Mission was about the unity of africans and something that we still pursue today our existence was on the issue of humanity and thats why today they knew where in the war even independent where this human rights abuse we are the champions is the African National congress this particular act in which i have been in our country today they have to speak up when we cannot encourage them build from our own national spall foreign nationals because some of them must also assist us because they have to how do accessibility the situation to be out of control how would how this nation how they access they have how they foreign nationals that you have made of the unseen you know in your view. Look i mean if somebody comes to your country as an asylum and later becomes at that diligent problem and it cannot be encouraged and thats why some of these criminal elements went to an extent even tried to cover the border because they want to use that as a justification or is it is that it is wrong we cannot encouraged and thats why i would also want everybody to cooperate so that we all respect our Law Enforcement agencies to ensure that the end of the day will find a number a couple solution and thats why even from us as the n. C. Would want to pursue a minister of International Relations to engage all affected nations and countries that were citizens i know a country so that given them buzzed us up properly informed of all of the steps that were doing as a nation of calling divisions were doing because we cannot think of each and african on africa not to a black on black of violence or any form of violence against any human being its a wrong its an african is not does not represent the principles of wouldnt because you would know i mean you have been advanced as africa enough times to accept everybody to drop to be with the nationals and it does being voted no money does never been something difficult which some even in your op and elsewhere in the world are still struggling today to accommodate other flu things than you do in your what do you think is behind this latest wave of attacks on foreigners in south africa. We believe did it get it did complicity only have talked of my going to the topic. A few days we had a statement from the officials from the state officials the deputy minister of police the minister of police the minister for their obvious triple were giving the people the order to attack american and and might have been attacked for quite a while and there was plenty after people shot absolute people out there and now theyre coming to statements which are not assisting anything since 2008 migrate in this country been attacked and the status quo that they dont have any plan to mitigate the issue of their of all 2015 people actually on technical t. V. And on radio and nothing has been done to address the underlying cause of the network that we are playing stake is accomplished on this issue because the was there any credibility is not of a standard thing happening. Russia and that what it what do you believe is the underlying cause of this i mean we hear a lot of talk about the economics of the poor Economic Situation in south africa right now the lack of jobs and so on but is it all about that or is there more to it than. Well i think its a number of things of course its the Socio Economic conditions the high Unemployment Rate the extreme inequality within our country as well as abject poverty but its also the governments lack of Service Delivery and that spoke their municipal level and job where the violence has been mostly and the last few days is the Democratic Alliance friend municipality as well as a inseam unisa parities than at National Level i think its also important to mention that we are still at if i did say it see the legacy of the pats it still haunts the way we eat there and therefore its a kind of the right breeding grounds for the ring others from outside of our borders and i think we have to mention your corruption i mean the 9 years of zuma has rule as it has seen billions billions taken from state coffers which adds to their lack of Service Delivery stolen not by foreign nationals coming across our borders stolen by our only elected politicians them you have to raise that issue up as one of the aspects that causes dissatisfaction immense communities and i think were living in a climate where none of the politicians actually give much credence to the voice of the poorest people in the most vulnerable in society so they have little option and ways in which they can express their discontent and what a recent study from the African Center for migration in society was doing was that mobilization is the vital connective tissue between the discontent and xenophobe it violence and i think these acts of violence that weve seen in the last few days have been mobilized its not just some random sporadic incident in fact the description that the a. N. C. Spokes person gave of the incident was not what was initially reported where it was said that the text of trade was what was so angry at the police for colluding with drug dealers diminished anality of the drug dealer isnt really imports in. Drugs are a problem in as they say its easy to equate that with foreign nationals is one of the waves in which politicians whip out an n. C. For insensibly of course we dont want to see the kind of drug abuse that we have in the states in the problems it causes we could throw every single star in its america and im telling you it still have the same drug problem its not because of the foreign its a making those kind of connections then everyone starts to think oh my goodness foreigners drag yes the 2 are connected so i think its the whole bunch of reasons that causes discontent which then through mobilization at local level through local m. P. Political actions but also at National Level as has been said by the previous speaker of the statements of ministers who should know better of any and see people and like the Spokes Person there is a continuing so we quote foreigners with other problems problems that are problems the government should be dealing with you know i think that the whole company should have things causes people to move from being just simply discontented so finding your targets and use the target is foreign nationals in community is lets lets put some of that back then to. The cartel or what do you say then. To to this to some of that and this you as well that the government itself has contributed to the conditions that have led many people in south africa to to. Conduct attacks like this on foreigners in the country. Yes look as the a. N. C. Will one blunt swore to retaliate that government officials or minister us who speak what does not represent the party they does not represent us you would know in all challenges that we have within the human nature part of them. By a reckless lead us and i think we want to condemn as the n. C. Bows lee does who have been speaking of the lie which has led to the situation getting out of control would not want to encourage in the lead that no governmental field to speak something that does not represent our Foreign Policy and our is aleutians as a party that has governed the country it is wrong in terms of our principles and policies that we have spouse as the n. C. Amongst them is that to women is to have your monthly deputy because even though ourselves as the n. C. Where the beneficiary of humans are the devotee other countries when were in exile when during deliberation and operation of the previous that e. G. They gave solace to us to be within their shores and gave us a support it cannot be us as the n. C. Who thing that through negative attacks including on their nationalities and all the people from those particular country and want to call for calm is the n. C. To all South Africans ones. Form from all other foreign nationals way no country let us allow the law to take its course lets on the allow the Law Enforcement agencies to ensure that those who are responsible perpetrators they are brought to book because this particular it does now been turned into something criminal because even but innocence belonging to South Africans have been looted and it is rock people both us out of concern and for foreign nationals is wrong we missed one for sizes and this has disrupted the normal life of some of can cause. In other areas of the most callings there are no business even garages can operate to put up governance so everybodys car stops shops and stores theres no bread and milk and basic amenities but you would need to run your daily life and i dont think its something that as a governing party would wonder and courage would want to then you should from government also then you need your also our terms is this is this also is this also law law in order issue. In terms of these these attacks that seem to go on with with impunity i mean does this does more need to be done to to strengthen the system. And to to to go after those who who commit these attacks. Yeah of forming what i can say is that since the public attack apartheid in 2085 and even where we dont have anyone to believe weve been perpetrators of the 4 because that was a bloodbath narcan some of convicted for 10 years in prison that will send a strong message to the people to stop it but what the police are on to do is theyre not people going under and different very very is a challenge and really now to say that at the it was met with their responsibility yet there is nothing the International Community because after 2 days of goodwill and no one will says they will still despaired of bringing the novel because so the what if the father involved this big little stand and the chance we are of the state is that like now because things are happening the government theory that we condemned this is rigid but what planned this test have to mitigate the can a situation because not the 1st im going to leave the place which they have to say that this will never happen again this is what we will do to stop this issue of that and all the uses africanus. What a boon to do craft so we feel like the place is not really now theres that reaction up when things happen during an income statement but theres another place at the Grassroots Level to mitigate on the issue of the haka because the public attack russian that there is there is also an issue of the government not simply not having the resources to tackle this problem. Well its pink its the rich you know its a lack of resources to deliver services and to deal with corruption within Services Like the police. For sure thats one of the issues that government needs to address because its easy for Political Parties to blame firing is for problems that they are not suggesting themselves i mean there were billions looted from government coffers bake government ministers based serve africans that ought to have been used to put into it exactly both the Law Enforcement decent housing the Health Care System implementing the National Health service that its supposed to be seeing education builds in schools that dont even have infrastructure at all it means that people who went to new needing basic things for people to live a normal life south African Citizens to live a normal life and for people who are coming from across the border also because in checked in joburg the largest number of make minutes into the city a from of the South African president says the number of migrants coming across the border is relatively small so i think if were talking about make rence an income is and who are there is where all that is and were all moving around quite rightly now after 1904 we dont have the system we dont have her homelands and bunts it stands and so on and we are able to move around and said go and move where we think well find where which is the sensible thing to do which is what people do when they make great for economic reasons so i think the government does have a huge responsibility so all of us to deliver and so use the money that it has not for itself but for the services that its supposed to deliver but i think you know Political Parties capitalize on a missed kind of sense of oh its someone else blame someone else i mean it simply isnt the case that as i said if we got rid of all. The foreign born people which would include the Foreign Direct Investment that the president is now known at the World Economic forum the kotel remote see it of all of them telling how it to. South africa has in the past been been a kind of inspiration to many other africans in the continent because of its historic struggles with apartheid and and defeating apartheid and so on but are you worried about the image that this now presents of south africa to the rest of the continent we have the African Union condemning this in very strong terms the nigerian government. Some in the south africas high commissioner to nigeria over this we have reports that the Zambian Football Association has canceled a match against south africa over this does south africa risk becoming an International Pariah in the continent if it doesnt take real action against this. It is indeed we must meet but this is a recent developments on sending a very negative message abroad but i didnt set off a good 2nd place that did the creating an unnecessary diplomatic abbas meant for us as a nation and i think its a much of that we needs to act on is the nation in south africa including as a people because it is that unfair for us to one to use violent means to dissolve social ills that we have as a nation because it cannot be justified and it cannot be and cut each but is that do as they and see want to put forward to all busy that our Foreign Affairs in the midst of a diverse populations as well as counterparts in the clinton era is to me does a mother of agency were going to have a dent in the side that to find and ill make up again i havent spoken about that because it would not be correct for for the image and reputation as a mission to find ourselves in the situation were going to have to leave it there thank you 2 or 3 of you that caught on a white a daniel dona and russian that do thanks very much for being on inside story and thank you as always for watching remember you can see the program again any time by going to our website edges in a dot com and for further discussion you can go to our Facebook Page facebook dot com forward slash a.

Well we start the program with another tomato as an unprecedented day in westminster british m. P. s have backed a bill to block a no deal breaks it which could lead to Boris Johnson pushing for a snap in general election opposition m. P. s and rebels from his own party made sure the bill passed its 1st stage by 329 votes to 300 if its passed in full the Prime Minister will be forced to ask europe for an extension or johnson has made it clear that he will never agree to asking for a delay to bracks it insisting that the u. K. Missile leave the e. U. On october 31st with or without a deal well heres what needs to happen to legally prevent a no deal brix it on the 31st of october m. P. s in the lower house the house of commons opera pairing to vote on the proposal after holding debates over known as readings if those pass it goes to parliaments opera house the house of lords members that will discuss dozens of amendments before voting on the proposal it then goes back to the commons where m. P. s will discuss any changes the opera house has made if m. P. s accept those amendments goes to the queen for royal assent and becomes law if they dont a new version of the proposal has to be put forward and the process starts again will journal is following all developments and joins us live now from westminster jonah just to take us through what is happening in the commons right now. Well this piece of anti no deal legislation is making its way with lightning speed through the various stages of the house of commons process debate has just ended on a number of amendments 29 amendments table to it theyll now be votes to follow on those amendments before it goes off to the house of lords none of this is expected to disrupt the eventual passage of the nor but were deep in the realm now of constitutional and parliamentary tactics and tricks some might say to the extent that really this a lot that people dont know about the potential outcomes here so luckily im joined by jack simpson kid whos a constitutional expert who might be able to shed some light on us 1st of all after this Committee Stage it will go possibly tonight to the lords and there is a concern isnt there that the nords will try conservative peers in the house of lords to delay and possibly disrupt the passage of this bill thats correct and the rules doesnt normally timetable bills that sort of self policing and usually theyve been 83. 00 amendments tabled which is exactly as you said designed to delay tactics as it goes through the rules because the governments identify that thats the place where theyre most likely to be able to frustrate the bill getting on to the statute book. Able to do you think just to succeed in stopping it there is a sense that the lords are willing to walk through there are mechanisms to frustrate a filibuster so filibustering is possible but at the end of the day the lords can get round a filibuster if theyre willing to go all the way through and were seeing members of the house of lords arriving there do they toothbrushes ready to go through the night so i think the expectation is even if they attempt to filibuster they wont ultimately be success ok lets assume it makes its way through by the end of this week perhaps early next week and becomes law this law is an example of the sort of tricks and tactics being deployed i want to look at it 1st of all from the point of view of the and no deal and peace who proposed the law and then from the government side 1st of all is this law enough to dispense with the threat of no deal i think the 1st thing to say is the law is very cleverly crafted to get maximum Political Support so for that reason its its based on a compromise and that compromise is that i think the the Prime Minister only has to ask for an extension on the 19th of october so the crucial fact is a lot of People Experts of pointing out that technically this doesnt force the Prime Minister to actually ask for an extension until that date so until we know whats going to happen between now and the 19th of october we dont know whether or not that the the no deal threat will have left will no longer be on the table and no shortage of opposition m. P. s voicing their distrust in Boris Johnson and his ability to try and come up with source some sort of parliamentary alchemy what might the government do to frustrate the law and get its agenda back on track but weve already seen the answer to that and when the Prime Minister stood on the steps of downing street saying that he would not personally seek an extension in all the venture elysees what he was talking about was an election and the possibility that by triggering election on a date of to be held on a date before the 19th of october he could get a majority for his approach which could effectively frustrate that law busy. By potentially repealing it before it kicked in on the 19th of october but its not a used gift because of another parliamentary law that in fact hands the power over the timing of an election to the labor party exactly right thats why weve all got copies of the fixed problem and sites are not in our pocket at the moment because the in fact unusually its not even a bare majority to trigger an election theres a 2 thirds requirement to trigger an election which basically means unless the labor Party Supports his decision to have an early election before the 19th of october it wont happen so the key kind of political strategy thats going on is the labor party deciding whether or not its going to frustrate his desires home or election and there is a motion on the order paper tonights after the commons has completed its stages on the delay bill theyll then consider whether or not sort of called election the expectation is that the labor party will not acquiesce to that request and will instead delay wait until that bill reaches the statute book till its gone through several stages and then they might acquiesce later on once thats actually locked down in law possibly even much later on in the meantime of course this is a conservative Party Government that sacked this morning 21 of its own m. P. s for voting against it last night a minority government that hasnt got the means to govern at all how long in this house of parliament can a government like that realistically linger on while were totally in uncharted territory that i think i think. My experts on myself are trying to make the point that our system is not designed to sustain this sort of confrontation other law other unlike other systems around the world all systems predicates on the basis that the government and the house of commons are working cooperatively and once there is no longer a corporation the system really doesnt function jackson care thank you so much for trying to shed some light on the constitutional involuntary process is underway as we speak right now and indeed john of that is no easy task thank you very much jonah how there for us in west minister another dramatic day. And well bring more from london a bit later on now lets head to kemal and our. Thank you mary and were looking at the United States now which has announced new sanctions on an iranian oil shipping network iran immediately hit back state t. V. Announced the government plans to further scale back its commitments to 2050 nuclear deal earlier though iran was saying it was actually willing to recommit to the deal but only only if it got 15000000000. 00 for oil sales in return that was a plan proposed by france as it tries to salvage the nuclear deal with rosalynn jordan now in washington d. C. Theres a lot of things going on there as well but want to focus on the sanctions with you exactly who and what are the u. S. Going off to here. Well the u. S. Youll recall kemal a couple of months ago sanctioned the i. R. G. C. The Islamic Revolutionary guard corps as well as its coots force elite troopers as it were and thats the 1st time that the us has actually sanctioned part of another countrys bureaucracy as it were well today officials have unveiled and today i mean on wednesday theyve unveiled a 15000000 dollar reward for information about the people who are intimately involved in running what the u. S. Says is a criminal law global oil was sale was scheme shipping oil from iran to ports around the world in contravention of International Sanctions the people who are supposedly running this are members of the i r g c in the cooks force now whether or not that means that the u. S. Would have the ability if they do get credible information to bring people in and to sanction them or to put them on trial for violating the existing sanctions regime is an open question but the u. S. Says that this is part of its ongoing maximum Pressure Campaign to get around to change its Foreign Policy objectives in essence to stop being a destabilizing force in the u. S. Is eyes to stop its Nuclear Weapons program and its ambitions to develop Nuclear Weapons and to sit down to face to face talks with the u. S. About a new Nuclear Agreement youll recall that the u. S. Pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal because the u. S. President donald trump has repeatedly said that in his opinion it was a very bad deal. These sanctions just keep thinking about the fact that sanctions keep getting piled on and on when you start to wonder a is there anything left to sanction well they seem to keep finding it but also the fact that actually all it will do is push iran further and further away surely. Well that is certainly what it seems to be if you look at the reaction coming from the president rouhani as well as other senior officials of the government in terre han they havent quite clear all this week in fact that there is no was sitting down with washington as long as the existing sanctions which the u. S. Reimposed in 2018 continue to be enforced the iranians feel that this is something that they can somehow use to their political advantage but when the question was put to u. S. Officials on wednesday as they were announcing this new 15000000. 00 reward for more details about how this International Oil sales scheme is being carried out the officials said that they believe in that the president believes that this will bring the iranians back to the table for face to face talks although they didnt want to say whether theres any possibility in the next several weeks of president rouhani and President Trump actually sitting down and at least having an initial discussion brian hooke who is the special representative for iran did know that donald trump has actually had face to face meetings
