Im how do. I tell you why many families are still struggling. Iraqs cabinet is set to meet in a few hours from now that meeting comes a day after the Prime Minister announced he intends to resign. Decision followed weeks of antigovernment protests which have turned violent for 2 months iraqis have been demonstrating to demand jobs Better Services and an end to corruption. In the city of nasiriya protesters tried to storm the Police Headquarters at least 17 people were killed in confrontations there on friday a curfew was lifted to allow families to hold funerals the violence has forced the governor and the director of police to resign Simona Fulton joins us live now from baghdad simona the process for the Prime Minister to resign its not clear constitutionally what do we think we can expect in the coming few days. For parliament is supposed to meet tomorrow or sunday but its not clear at all whether they will discuss and vote on this resignation the constitution does not in fact as the Prime Minister submit his resignation to the parliament if there is no mention at all of what the process is its just the bylaws of the parliament to submit his resignation to the president which means that basically there is no need for a vote i spoke to one member of Parliament Earlier this morning and they said its still not clear to the members of parliament what will happen tomorrow if they will actually vote on this resignation or not effectively if they do vote it would be a vote of no confidence which requires an absolute majority and if that passes. They would basically remain in office as part of a caretaker government for 30 days before a replacement is found but at this moment we dont know whether parliament will actually vote on his resignation sorrow and if they dont it remains to be seen whether the Prime Minister will then. The president or not if he resigns to parliament if its accepted by parliament do we know who might take over from him. Well this is not that they were dollars in fact one of the reasons why there has been a lot of opposition from all the Political Parties for him to step down because it was extremely difficult in the 1st place to agree on the Prime Minister who was elected. Excuse me the parliamentary elections took place in may 2006 months for the Political Parties to select a compromise candidate that they could all agree on this is a process that can take months takes a lot of political bargaining and it is likely to be a protracted process that will increase the uncertainty in iraq and that will lead to even more instability the biggest bloc in parliament which is led by. And to reign in that part of the party is very much against his resignation so should there be a vote of no confidence he will vote against it now it does not appear that his blog controls an absolute majority so there would need to be other parties that basically also vote against. This resignation for him to remain in power all of this we will have to wait and see what happens in the parliamentary session for tomorrow but for now it. Is basically trying to placate not just the demonstrators but also grand ayatollah Ali Al Sistani who on friday called on the parliament to reconsider its option basically suggesting that perhaps parliament should oust the government and put in place a new one the question is whether hes actually serious about his resignation and whether he will follow through.

U. Commission president Jacques Rogge younker will be replaced by germanys vonda lion and e. U. Council president is handing over to the former belgian Prime Minister sean michel they marked the event with the symbolic passing on of a ceremonial bell. Well above all else it is at the heart of next months general election in the u. K. The liberal democrats about to keep the u. K. Within the European Union well the main Opposition Labor Party is promising another vote on the issue the governing conservatives say they will get it done before christmas if they get a majority on the whole went to brussels to find out what the thinks of that plan. With the conservative party ahead in opinion polls Boris Johnsons campaign to get briggs done it could prove election winning and we can get on with that deal not just the promise of leaving by january 31st but with a trade deal too by the end of 2020 so we get. More than 3 years after the u. K. Breaks it referendum it is a beginning a ling time line but one that is viewed with rather less optimism by the e. U. Side its for him its much easier to sell people this story he knows the truth hes clearly not telling people the full truth. Into felt is a member of the European Parliament shes fiercely and he breaks it but reconciled to want may lie ahead it will be very difficult i mean people often make the comparison with the negotiations we had with canada for a Free Trade Agreement i mean canada is probably the most european country on earth. Theyre very close to us and yet it took 7 years to negotiate a deal and it still hasnt been ratified if breaks it does become law by january 31st that would leave just 11 months to complete a trade deal before the end of the formal transition period if you thought negotiating there with rule agreement was tough to say said what is here in brussels you aint seen nothing yet theres talk of a brutal reckoning for u. K. Negotiators as they get to grips with the future relationship complete with uncomfortable compromises prolonged uncertainty and. More nailbiting deadlines to come. Boris johnson insists they will be no further extensions raising the prospect of no deal on future relations between britain and its biggest trade partner really had several clif in this process and really weve got one coming up even though before the end of next year because there would have to be a decision normally or whether to extend the transition period in the middle of the year so actually with the time the kind of rest by the we would get even if everything goes according to plan from the u. K. Government side and leaves on january 31st the rest but it would be very short a fast or far i wouldnt necessarily take his claim started would extend at face value because he also said the u. K. Would leave you on the 31st of october come what may and here we are but i think concerning the trade relations its a bit like asking whether you can build a house in a week of course you can bit house in a week but the question is what kind of house youre going to get and whether anyone is going to be very happy with the house its an irony not lost on many that the oldest part of the European Parliament building in strasburg is named after britains wartime leader Boris Johnson if he wins will need a strong dose of churchills fighting spirit if he stick it breaks it down as promised jonah how aljazeera brussels. Millions of indias Indigenous People are living in fear of being evicted from their land thats because state governments have been slow to enforce a law that protects their rights politicians say the forests need to be conserved but critics say they are only promoting business interests and shovel visited the state of Marjah Pradesh where the native community is now fighting back through dave singh and surely by our farmers and forages.
