Supreme court is beginning its final day of hearings to determine whether Boris Johnson suspension of parliament was legal government lawyers say its a political issue and not for the courts to decide opponents told judges the suspension is meant to impede parliaments ability to scrutinize johnsons briggs plans the court will hear from former british Prime Minister john major on thursday lets cross over now to charlie and he joins us live from outside the court its the 3rd and final day of this is story hearing what can we expect today. The judges will be hearing. Representing. Their argument the Prime Minister to the queen about the real intention. 5 weeks and. Also joined. By former conservative Prime Minister john major. He is expected to say again through a. Agents and that his justification this is spending parliament doesnt ring true now john may just suspend the parliament in 1907 when he was Prime Minister better than anyone here he understands those written rules and conventions that surrounds this very delicate procedure so hes expected to add a lot of weight to the argument for the Prime Minister but the other side also have a strong case lawyers acting for the Prime Minister say that this is not an issue for the courts they have no jurisdiction here its a parliamentary matter there are all no written rules that surround the reasons why you can suspend parliament or how long you can suspend parliament so they say how can judges decide what the Prime Minister did was legal or not and when we can expect him to just say that because of the of course its of the case theyre expecting to get that preliminary thoughts hopefully by the end of today and surely the talk is to keep going to see things that some e.

U. Leaders will join in this threat considering any yesterday the e. U. Agreed to allow an extension to the october 31st deadline if the u. K. Os threat but it does say the growing impatience in brussels with Boris Johnson a man who says he wants an alternative to the irish back stop thats the insurance policy to stop the hard border in ireland but hes yet to put any realistic alternative on the table and i think that how you take it by suggesting an even earlier deadline they have finally put something down that they can discuss.

Political correctness and of shifting diversity and you know and also suggesting that hones are racists so this this instance where he talked about. This dismissed this must unfortunate conduct this wasnt something that happened when he was a child or when he was a teenager or when he was in college this is when he was 29 years old so hes got its a bit of a challenge to his brand and voters who are undecided and there are a lot of undecided voters in the selection are hes going to have to convince them this is just a blip in his past that is known to give him more widespread sort of hypocrisy on his part 3 top executives in the Japanese Firm that operated the focus shima Nuclear Plant have been cleared of responsibility for the 2011 disaster the plant was crippled by a magnitude 9 earthquake off the northeast coast of japan and the tsunami that followed the former officials were facing up to 5 years in prison if convicted as in any criminal trial and have been brought since the disaster was shown benny is a senior at Nuclear Specialist with greenpeace he says hes expecting an appeal against the finals they are guilty who has not found him guilty but the evidence was very clear over the last 2 years.

Broken homes and broken promises 2 years on from 2 devastating earthquakes in mexico. Dozens of people have died in 2 separate attacks in afghanistan and their strike carried out by Government Forces with u. S. Air support has killed at least 20 people in Eastern Province earlier at least 18 people were killed and 96 wounded in a taliban suicide bombers angrier hospital in the southern Zabul Province the Defense Ministry official says the intended target was a nearby Training Base for afghanistans National Intelligence agency. My bride now joins us live from the Afghan Capital kabul rather another bloody day in afghanistan take us through the aftermath of the carnage. Yeah another day of devastation sami and in particular this blast in color at this southern provincial capital the taliban they claimed responsibility very quickly they said that they were targeting headquarters of the n. D. S. This is the Afghan Intelligence service they claim a number of government soldiers and also government agents have been targeted have been killed i have to say weve been watching pictures coming up here in kabul from kalat and also from nearby kandahar and predominantly most of the people caught in this massive explosion have been it seems civilians of many women and children and also a lot of medical stuff as you mentioned this headquarters was right next to the provincial hospital which is pretty much been devastated by this blast this was a suicide truck bomb it was a large one a large part of the center of collapses is really now just rubble a part of the problem for the people dealing with this is they have schools of injured that you would normally take to the provincial hospital which is the very hospital which has been devastated so many. Ferries ferrying the victims have been carried out by a number of ambulances to neighboring kandahar a drive of some hour and a half and kandahar hospitals have been dealing with many of the injured many people there arriving in a bad way fish really 18 people have died and some 96 are injured but i think as the day goes on we will see the death toll rise and this comes as details are emerging about this 2nd incident you mentioned this is in a province the province neighboring with pakistan and this is very much disputed about exactly what has taken place that the provincial Governors Office says that an airstrike a drone print a drone attack or was targeting an Islamic State hideout that is close to the tora bora region which we know is a stronghold for many groups of fighters here in afghanistan they said that 20. The eisel fighters have been killed and now other sources their government officials and also the local provincial council say that actually the people who were killed were harvesting in a field close to this hideout they were largely civilians who have been brought. In from neighboring provinces for a harvest of pine nuts and that 30 people have been killed civilians with a further 40 injured it is difficult to ascertain exactly what the truth of it is it may well emerge in the coming hours probably it will be somewhere between the 2 there were probably was a targeted action against a nice old hideout maybe some myself fighters were killed but once again it does seem as though a number of civilians were caught up in this summary as always seems to be the case that thanks so much from mcbride. Israels Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has called on his main rival benny gantz to join him in the Unity Coalition birds after he said theres no chance he could form a right wing government after the 2nd election this year with more than 97 percent of votes counted the center right blue and white party led by benny gantz has 33. Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu is likud party is behind with 31. During campaigning i called for creating a right wing government but unfortunately the results of the election showed that will not be possible the people did not fully decide between the 2 blocs now i call on you many gantz we have to create a wide based unity government today the people expect from us from both of us to be responsible to cooperate thats why im calling on you binney lets meet today any time to ignite this move or even israels president through been rivlin has welcomed that whose call for a Broad Coalition with dance about the honey joins us now from west jerusalem so i guess the big question is what is gan saying to all of this. Well we should hear shortly from benny gantz hes due to give a press conference within the hour but lets just remember that during his campaign one of his main mantras was really that it was you know that he was Anti Corruption that israel should not have a political leader who is facing corruption charges and thats going to be very difficult for him if in case he accepts a National Unity government it would be letting down those who voted for the blue and white party but it is. You know promises made during a campaign are not necessarily hold on after the results of an election so well just have to wait and see what he has to say about this and. With charges looming right now its more than the political life thats at stake right. Yeah there is theres a lot more of Benjamin Netanyahu than just you know do his likud order right wing bloc which he now represents after he had negotiations with all the right wing parties here. Its also about his legacy its about his future its about these corruption charges he is facing this is a hearing that is scheduled for early october and that would fall right in the middle of the negotiations to form a government those should be starting sometime next week so certainly a lot as they hear from Benjamin Netanyahu but hes also a very shrewd politician and he has been in overdrive ever since those exit polls came out just after a few hours after the polling stations were closed so now you have him and he is secured the backing of the right wing parties he has the backing of his likud party now he is representing more than 50 seats and he is a yes he did the whole of Avigdor Lieberman who said that he just said he would only support a National Unity government that included likud. And his own. Party he has also another advantage that would could convince of endure lieberman here is that both of them. On liber man are against any role of the arab joy at least in a government actually Avigdor Lieberman said famously once that did not even in the parallel universe would allow that so that leaves benny gantz in a more difficult situation but this is just the beginning the president really hasnt cost anyone at this stage to form a government theyll be a lot of back door dealings and secret meetings and i think its going to take a while really before this situation is sorted. Thanks so much me there are plenty more still ahead on the news hour including not responsible for a Nuclear Disaster top executives are clear were fukushima.

Despite your own effort to make it of their collaboration with their proxies in the region to create this false narrative is clear secondly. There was a rush from the war and was unquestionably sponsored by you on this i thought. Was not a game as between them of soviet soviet arkell also get it yeah it was an asshole to the International Community but the Defense Ministry briefing in riyadh also left many questions for the foreign media camp where exactly with the attacks launched from and how did saudi arabia sophisticated air Defense System not spot the missiles leaving Critical Infrastructure unguarded but some defense analysts were skeptical the attacks were launched from iran the satellite images appear to show that some of the strikes came from the northwest this becomes an increasingly more likely scenario that most of these flying devices were actually launched from the area area between. Iraq and iran were i dont think is likely is that the iranians were launching an from their own territory and using always in their own devices because there is something that can be traced and i think their investigation will eventually show where or where the launch point was moot
