Climate summit well look at how her trip is covered on social media. And well explain why this author and other animals are at risk of becoming extinct because among other things social media. This is news im sumi so much its being called an explosive announcement to british Prime Minister Boris Johnson says his government will shut down parliament on till 2 weeks before britains exit from the European Union which is planned now for october 31st opponents call the move on democratic saying it will give lawmakers less time to potentially pass legislation to stop a no deal braggs it but johnson says the suspension is justified. As i said on the steps of down the street were not going to wait until october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward and to do that we need new legislation weve got to be bringing forward new and important bills and thats why we are going to have a queen speech and were going to do it on october the 14th and weve got to move ahead now with a new program we can go right to london now and back at nasa standing by for us there with the latest had barack and how significant is this move from Boris Johnson. But there is johnson the new Prime Minister shows a steely determination to see brags of 3 you have to remember the end effect tell you about is the date where the u. K. Does leave their European Union and throw stones and i said hes to town and to push through with it do or die and die now suspending parliament he effectively limits the time that parliament can do anything to stop him in his ways hes also creating pressure putting pressure on the European Union by really showing them that britain will leave at the end of october and then edging them to give him a different deal a different deal to the one thats the reason they has negotiated some concessions to the European Union that he can then celebrate here in london as the new deal brokered earlier today a journalist asked johnson explicitly if this is a move to try to prevent parliamentary debate lets listen to what he had to say and how the opposition labor leader Jeremy Corbyn has responded that is completely untrue if you look at what were doing were bringing forward a new list of program across all hospitals and making sure that we have the Education Funding that we need and there will be ample time on both sides of that crucial october the 17th summit ample time in parliament for m. P. s to do. Bait the e. U. To break bread and who is spending parliament is not acceptable its not on the promises to its a sort of smash and grab on our democracy nor as a force through a no deal exit from the European Union whats he so afraid of that he suspend parliament to prevent parliament discussing these matters so when parliament does meet on his timetable very briefly next week the 1st thing well do is attempt legislation to prevent what hes doing and secondly to challenge him most of conference at some point. So very germy corben among many lawmakers who are not happy with this move by Boris Johnson but how likely is what corbin just suggested there which is a legislation to prevent johnson from shutting down parliament. But Boris Johnson with his move has made it much more difficult for the opposition to come together its a very disparate group the labor leader isnt exactly very popular with a lot of the opposition m. P. s so to get them together to get them behind Jeremy Coleman is a difficult task for him and we have seen in the past months that parliament has found it almost impossible to come to a conclusion to come to to to come together and have an alternative strategy now weve seen yesterday that opposition m. P. s are seeming to unite and this is probably also why boss john snow said well if this is the way they want to go then im going to make it more difficult im going to limit the time and as such its going to be very very tricky for him they have a small window but they really need to seize it very very soon as soon as next week theyre given the outrage especially among opposition m. P. s what about the likelihood here of a no confidence vote what are their chances. Well this is what Jeremy Corbyn the labor leader opposition data has eluded to that he might try that in the past it looked as though he might not get through with it because he would need conservative m. P. s also you to vote against their own government something that so far seems very unlikely now we know that not just opposition m. P. s but also within the conservative party m. P. s have been very unhappy about this attempt by Boris Johnson as they see it to silence after all vote leave the campaign to leave the you was all about taking back control here for this parliament and they have been very unhappy so it could be that this time they might unite behind opposition naida which then would most likely result in a general election.

It is said to be a decisive day in italian politics the countrys president has told the 5 Star Movement and the Democratic Party that they must reach an agreement today on forming a new governing coalition if they fail he will call new elections for right interior minister Matteo Salvini triggered the collapse of the government by withdrawing his support earlier this month. Its at least president ial politics is a busy place these days. Negotiators for a new Italian Government left talks on tuesday with no clear signal as to whether they have reached a final agreement on who is going to be italys next Prime Minister. The previous officeholder giuseppe content resigned his post last week bringing italys populist government to a swift end after just 14 months in power. Context use his interior minister matteo 70 of wanting to rule by himself. We dont need men with absolute power. But people with a strong sense of responsibility. I sell vini the leader of italys right Wing Likud Party told senators he triggered the government crisis because he wanted to bring about snap elections. Before they. Will do everything that i did all over again thank you. Thank. Everything with a great strength of being a free man. It means im not afraid of being judged by the italian this was the. Major the. His supporters have been out in force chanting elections now elections now solve in his bid for power comes amid high poll numbers reflecting widespread support for his tough stance on migration. If the 5 Star Movement is unable to secure a Coalition Deal italys president is expected to call an early election for november. And we can speak to journalists sima in rome now so the 5 Star Movement has the most seats in parliament and has to find a majority by the afternoon what is the latest that youre hearing there on negotiations but what we do know is that representatives of the 5 Star Movement as well as the center left Democratic Party talks right now to try and work out some kind of a deal they have that didnt put in place by the president. What we do know is that divisions to remain but to clearly on the roll that you rejected my hope will play in any kind of new government now hes the leader off the 5 and the Current Deputy Prime Minister so there was a lot of attacks by the by and the 5 star who went on the against the Democratic Party in the past and so there are factions in both parties that want to have absolutely nothing to do with the job that weve already heard such as representatives of each party saying well if this coalition is formed on the part you want to get this so really im not in that state though what is motivating all these parties is that its their desire to sure that salvini and his the party does not return to pot and to avoid any kind of elections and the instability that will create so much irrelevant is currently holds will be taken all that if the different political factions and parties involved and hes expected to make some kind of statement as to whats going to come out of this how he could go to elections all ill be good to see this new coalition formed id like to today or tomorrow. See my you mention the far right leader my tales of any his plan was to force early elections how has this been working out for him. Well the question remains here in italy as to whether this was a gross miscalculation on salvini spot i mean really was it the wrong step to do a bad time he perhaps in deciding to pull the plug on this coalition at this point in time we have seen certain polls saying some support for him has dropped as a result of this i think many italians are tired of the elections tide of bullets and concern about what this instability will mean in terms of the situation of the economy in the country and so perhaps this was a mistake on his spot or if i told could there be new elections at the moment it seems Something Like there will be some kind of coalition but well have to see what comes out of talks between the 5 Star Movement and the Democratic Party and what decision much the relative a journalist in rome bringing us up today thank you seem a. Now after 14 days at sea swedish Climate Change activist gratitude berg is about to arrive in new york shes headed to a un environmental summit and want to travel without leaving a Carbon Footprint of a 16 year old began her transatlantic journey from plymouth in the United Kingdom and traveled across the atlantic in some fairly rough conditions. Racing across the atlantic to fight Climate Change in the yachts that leaves no Carbon Footprint gaited to him bug on a mission to change the world and get to the u. N. Climate summit in new york without flying. But its not all been plain sailing. Were doing and you. Love. Love love love there were going to love the model so if you look at the end of the highway. The 16 year old set off from the southwest of england 2 weeks ago some criticized what they saw as a publicist stunt put to him back made no apology i mean im not telling anyone what to do or what not to do im just doing this because i want to do this myself and i am one of the very very few people in the world who actually can do this and then i think i should take that chance to do this. Last year gretta to newburgh began fridays for a future each friday the swedish teenager would skip school in order to campaign against Climate Change from outside the countrys parliament her School Strike soon spread around the world. And so did her message she is now the young face of environmental activism. Its been quite a journey for 2 in bag and with the. It states now in his sights this is just the start. And. The standing in battery park in new york right there the place where gratitude is due to dock public good to see you when is she expected to arrive. Hi sue me well thats the 1000000 are beginning to arrive to you have all of the question of how she really been making headlines there in the u. S. Is there this sense of expectation that shes going to arrive today. Well see what surprised me actually you know compared perhaps to europe it hasnt actually been making as many headlines i would say in the past 24 hours or so it certainly has been making more waves and bullets as i said it seems that you know the youth will say of today are are getting their news online and have been following are following her progress step by tracking her on twitter on facebook and so on so they are saying that there are going to be many crowds here this afternoon. Public for us at battery park there in new york ahead of arrival thank you. Or as we heard there a lot of Media Attention on arrival also a lot of social Media Attention being paid to this trip and our reporter my actuators been looking into that for us hi my how big is the hype were just hearing there from from public online and on social media so as he said that is where young people get their news these days and it was a lot of young people who she has inspired around the world to take part in these fridays for future demonstrations she now has more than a 1000000 followers on twitter and facebook and close to 3000000 instagram which is where she was primarily documenting this voyage and you see all sorts of supportive comments calling her a hero telling her to be brave thanking her for doing this recently a lot of comments telling her that she should really specifically address the issue of the amazon burning so well be looking for that when she gives her speech at the u. N. Climate action summit in september which is why she made this journey in the 1st place yeah lets not forget were talking about this one small woman who started this basically one Woman Movement picketing in front of the Swedish Parliament and now its grown into this huge Worldwide Movement for Climate Action well it wouldnt be social media if there were negative comments as well so what are her critics saying absolute well of course theres the usual amount of conspiracy theories people picking on a 16 Year Old Girl because she has a cause these accusations about her being manipulated either by or parents or by Certain Companies that are sponsoring her or that she just doesnt know what shes talking about because shes too young but one of the biggest questions which is something that she herself brought up was she said there are very few people in the world who can do this so i feel like i should do it and it does sort of raise this issue of well being environmentally friendly in many cases can be very costly and there are a lot of people out there who just really cant afford to be more environmentally friendly traveling by ship the way she did or buy a yacht. Cost money and takes a lot of time traveling by plane takes a lot less time he even here in germany travelling by train is sometimes more expensive than flying and takes a lot longer these are just you know things that we have to ask ourselves in our everyday life how can we make a difference how are the choices that were making affecting things and certainly her message is a good one of how do we reduce our overall impact but Realistic Solutions is something that is being brought up a lot when youre talking about gratitude all right our reporter myron schrader with us here in our studio thank you miles.
