The highest religious authority the grand ayatollah ali sistani him self issued a statement saying that the country must go to early elections in order to avoid chaos and uncertainty that is looming here this is all because the president has not been able to come up with a nominee for a replacement for the Prime Ministers post since he resigned on december the 1st thats because the constitution is not very clear about what needs to happen for the replacement to be nominated there is a constitutional crisis going on right now in this country and thats because the parliament has not been able to come up with a nominee for the position of the Prime Minister any names that have been floated around over the past 1516 days have all been rejected by the protesters on the streets they say that they want a change to the whole entire electoral system and of course thats not something that is likely to happen overnight and this call by the grand ayatollah only adds an urgency to the matters saying that there really must be a broader solution to try and end this deadlock because as long as this deadlock continues this uncertainty continues so will the security that is looming in iraq at the security situation is just getting worse by day day by day and they said the authorities believe that in order to bring the country together early elections could be a possible way out. M. P. s in the u. K. s newly elected parliament are expected to vote shortly on Prime MinisterBoris Johnsons bricks and seal it would implement the agreement reached with the European Union meaning the u. K. Would leave the e. U. On january 31st lets bring in a hurry challenge joining us just outside the houses of parliament in westminister we were showing the live picture of whats happening inside during the debates and the vote thats expected to take place later on is there any doubt about the way of the vote is going to go. Well look how quiet it is here today gives you an idea really that the this battle is being force and for the remaining side at least is being lost. Boris johnsons 8 c. M. P. Majority now in the house of commons means that when m. P. s votes in what about 20 minutes half an hours time that majority means. Is Withdrawal Agreement bill will carry through on its 2nd reading it then has to go through other parts of the legislative process it has a 3rd reading it goes through committee stages it goes through the house of lords and then asked to have royal assent to the queen signature essentially and that means that were probably going to be looking at the 1st of january for this actually to be nailed down but this is going to be a formality because of that majority the ek will be leaving European Union on january 31st and Boris Johnson has also said that this paves the way for an ambitious free trade deal with the European Union what is he basing that on and is the is giving some sort of timeline. Well i its always been the assertion of from the bronx that cant believe a camp. Britain would be unshackled it would be free to do all the trade deals around the world that it wants to do but the European Union as its the neighbor is going to be the most important trade deal that the u. K. Does that sit in an essential part of brechts it is working out what happens with the European Union and what that relationship is going to look like now there are some people on the remains side you hopes that see as a consolation really for losing the war that Boris Johnson a nd being so comfortable now in parliament mites attack his what they hope is more Natural Inclination a more centrist softer breaks inclination but the signs are at the moment thats not happening this new Withdrawal Agreement that he is putting before parliament on friday is different to the one that he brought before its happened changes made to it now labor says that some of those changes mean that this is going to be a reg deregulates rewrites to the boss and the workers rights which were in part of the original want to have been stripped out. And the changes are also being made to make this bill scamper proof so that you can have campaign as you can have the course you can have m. P. s trying to extend breaks its all push the transition period further into the future than its currents deadline of december 2020 and what that means is if Boris Johnson cannot negotiate that glorious new trade deal with the European Union that he is promising by the end of the transition period in december 2020 then no deal is back on the table then the u. K. Essentially falls out of the huge European Union training arrangement into World Trade Organization rules which is a much tougher world and Business People in the u. K. Say is going to be immensely damaging to the economy. Thank you.
