Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us for democracy lawmakers in hong kong have interrupted a major policy speech by the territorys leader terry lab she was a force out of the legislature after opponents heckled her and called on her to meet the demands of hong kong xp. Test Movement Demonstrators want to see 5 things implemented in hong kong including free and fair elections. Was the speech was in peril before it even began. In the chamber fellow new make his head coach chief executive kerry. Tango why even call lawmakers please be silent are you anyone who does not say sardonically will be asked to leave the chamber will you time the fibroid you say go lie down i see him on the floor dont you know fabio young prodemocracy lawmakers projected the slogan 5 demands not one less on the chambers walls these include universal suffrage and an independent inquiry into Police Violence during demonstrations i. Was carrying speech did not address any of these demands at all. I silenced by her critics. The disruption forced ms lam to abandon the planned speech she later gave her address via video link. Lets go to hong kong now to speak to our correspondent Charlotte Charleston pill hi charlotte the protests on the streets of hong kong have been going on for several weeks now were also seeing this disruption in the parliament there really doesnt seem to be any sign that these protests are winding down. Well as you were it were in our 5th month of these protests now and more a planned for the days ahead including potentially a very large protest on sunday thats being organized by the civil human rights front there the people behind a number of protests that they say drew up to 2000000 people onto the streets of hong kong in previous months they are waiting now for a letter of approval from authorities to hold up protests now the anger really has been fueled by what protesters here say is Police Violence on the streets but also the way the chief executive carried learn has handled this crisis and they say that inability to to listen to the protesters demands its been repeated once again today were hearing a lot of anger again on social media today about the fact that their demands were not addressed by carrying in her prerecorded message nobody was expecting realistically any major concessions but people were looking out to see how she would attempt to calm tensions but her speech was was very light on the protests she condemned them she said she would not tolerate any threat to chinese sovereignty but mainly she focused on issues like the housing crisis and hong kong subsidies for example to try and ease that plan which clearly is not going to be enough for the protests to to calm the protesters here but we spoke earlier to one of the prodemocracy lawmakers who was in the chamber during that disruption to lamb speech and we asked her whether kerry lam should resign lets listen to what she said. Well absolutely absolutely i dont think she can still govern all call and after all this month we can clearly see her incapability and so i think that very 1st step for all to go forward to go forward. Is for her to resign as soon as possible ok so that was lawmaker tanya chance speaking to us earlier charlotte with that kind of pressure how long can carry lamb really hang on as leader. Well of course tanya china isnt the only prodemocracy to make it calling for kerry to resign a number of them have been calling for that for weeks months even now whether or not she resigns in the in the future is the question that a lot of people were asking that this this address today was really meant to be a fresh start for kerry this was the list of Council Meeting once again this was kerry lands chance to put forward the new plans for the months ahead and just step in said it descended into absolute chaos those scenes there of those lawmakers some of them holding up placards suggesting kerry had had blood on her hands really does suggest that this anger is not going to come down anytime soon meanwhile charlotte u. S. Lawmakers have passed a bill end up Holding Human rights in hong kong do activists there it think that will help their cause. A number of the protesters that weve spoken to have been celebrating that theyve been protesters out on the streets almost from the beginning of this movement carrying u. S. Flags urging the u. S. To step in to respond to to come out in support of their demands that they really have welcomed this having said that though there will be some who would say that the u. S. Making this kind of declaration does play into beijings hands beijing has long been suggesting that the u. S. In particular has been meddling in Hong Kong Affairs so for sunday. Some caution others though relieved that the countries like the United States are now speaking up. Simple reporting for us from hong kong thank you.

Now could there be an 11th hour break that breakthrough british and e. U. Negotiators have resumed marathon talks on a Draft Agreement they use chief negotiator michelle said a new text must be on the table in the next few hours thats the Member States have a chance to consider before a crucial e. U. Summit starts tomorrow it is the last major round table before the u. K. Scheduled departure date on october 31st e. U. Officials say london has made enough concessions to bring a long sought deal within reach. And lets bring in our correspondents on this story is that he by london and knocks off one is in brussels welcome to you both max lets start with you there and brussels so is this really within reach you know what progress has been made. Were getting mixed signals at the moment there was a lot of optimism in the last day surprisingly so in brussels many said a deal could be reached by today so a day before that crucial summit that you mentioned that will start tomorrow on thursday here in brussels now in the last hours or so were getting other signals some say that those negotiations have hit a roadblock over details over the workability of the plan i really dont want to get into the details just one example maybe thats really understandable is that the current plan would make it necessary for Northern Ireland which is part of the u. K. To have a different value added tax system so the tax that you pay for just go to the Grocery Store than the republic of ireland which is part of the European Union and thats just 1. 00 of those little problems that are haggling over the word were hearing all the time is the proposals and the concessions that the u. K. Have made are more than anything theyve done in the past but the question remains is it workable so thats one side of the story the other side of the story is apparently that michele who is the chief negotiator for the European Union has told investigators of the Different Countries here in brussels today that he thinks a deal is still within reach so well just have to wait and see. Whats come to you to get the view there in london were hearing some voices of optimism in brussels what about there Boris Johnson has said he can see a way forward to reaching a deal with the e. U. Before breakfast supposed to happen on october 31st is this optimism there really believe it will. So similarly to what max is described about brussels the same rings true in london there was definitely the biggest sense of optimism in the last days and that i think was because the brics it is in bars johnsons own party just trust him more than treason may so people who are highly critical of treason mase brechts its strategy like david davis for example to form a brechts its harry who had stepped down over to reason is bretts a policy he came out defending Boris Johnson on the radio this morning i think they trust him more because hes seen as one of their own as a true brick sit here now though we also know that all eyes at the moment are on the do you p. C. Which is the smaller part of the conservatives in the British Parliament they are watching with eagle eyes the u. P. A. That is whats being negotiated in brussels they dont want anything that sets Northern Ireland apart from the rest of the United Kingdom and they are unionists they want to stay aligned as closely as possible with the United Kingdom and we simply dont know at the moment whether they are going to fall in line whether theyre going to go along with Boris Johnsons breck said plans so all eyes as usual on Northern Ireland are at what you both both touched on ireland there so lets take a look now at this biggest obstacle in the talks between the u. K. And the e. U. At the moment there is little in the way of physical infrastructure to tell drivers they are crossing the border between Northern Ireland and the republic unless you want to stop for gas on one side of the border youll pay and euros on the other in pounds. Everyone here is used to coming and going with ease. But now brecks it is making things complicated. At the moment the u. K. Including Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland are 2 independent states both are in the European Union and have a Bilateral Agreement that allows free travel between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland if the u. K. Leaves the e. U. As planned the rules will change. An x. Journal new border would be put up between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland. And it would have to be secured after all the e. U. Has strict rules on which products are allowed to be imported are exploited and under which conditions. The problem is no one wants a hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland. Border patrols and guard posts are symbols of one of the darkest chapters in our lives history the Northern Ireland conflict the troubles in which more than 3500 people were killed starting in 1909. Only with the 1998 good friday agreement did the violence come to an end together with e. U. Support the deal paved the way to peace. Many worry that the conflict may flare up again in the course of the u. K. s exit from the e. U. And several attacks in recent months suggest that this concern is not unfounded. But how can brecks it take place while preventing a hard inner irish border at the same time. A comprehensive customs and trade deal between the e. U. And the u. K. Would be one solution but this has yet to be agreed now thats why the e. U. Has proposed the socalled backstop the kind of insurance that if needed guarantees there will be no hard border on the island of ireland the backstop stipulates that the whole u. K. Would remain in a Customs Union with the e. U. Following brecks it until a better solution is found. Which basically means the trade would remain as it is for the time being but with one key difference the u. K. Would have to abide by the regulations even after brics it yet would have no say in the rules after all the country would no longer be an e. U. Member so its no wonder that the backstop is so controversial in britain Prime MinisterBoris Johnson sees it as unacceptable but he has yet to propose an alternative all sides could live with this time is he to go to a vital move without the path to war and so the irish border question remains the greatest obstacle on the long road to brics and ok so we saw there what a tricky issue this really is in bags of negotiations what is the plan on the table right now to break this deadlock. Well to me we dont know exactly the details of the plane we did we dont know any legal language what we do know what suggests it is that Northern Ireland will effectively be some sort of hybrid it will somehow be aligned to the European Union but in other ways also it will still be a member of the u. K. And this is you have to go back to basically a very good report Northern Ireland is a special case and the beauty of the Peace Process of the good friday agreement that weve had so far is that people in Northern Ireland could feel as u. K. Citizens they could feel british but they could also feel irish as europeans and i think this is what they are trying to achieve in these negotiations and brussels but crucially all eyes will be on the d u p on the Northern Irish party if they support whats being negotiated in brussels than i think Boris Johnson has a good chance of getting his deal through also here in london but if they dont all bets are off all right max a lot of eyes also today on the german chancellor Angela Merkel she is meeting the french president in france for talks on braggs it also on syria what can we expect. Right well if we talk about briggs it of course it will be a topic between the 2 but we should not overestimate the role that the heads of government play in the e. U. At the moment they have their chief negotiator who has a mandate of course theyve kind of tweaked it because remember in the past they said that he was not allowed to open the legally binding Withdrawal Agreement so basically that the wars documents that is changed apparently theyre willing to do that now but apart from that what people here the sherpas so the people that are negotiating say is we absolutely want to avoid having the leaders haggling over text on thursday when they come together through that maybe decisive summit here in brussels so really what they want them to do is either have the agreement that they go she did so this this draft that might emerge today or not and then say yes or no but they dont want them getting into the text and actually trying to make a difference all night weve had those situations before usually they dont work out that well so even the heads of state and government are waiting and seeing what is going to happen with these negotiations here in brussels all right our correspondent there max min in brussels in london both of you bringing us up to date thank you very much it has been 6 months since a fire ripped through Notre Dame Cathedral in paris and a number of problems are slowing down restoration on the landmark structure experts say the governments timeline for rebuilding it within just 5 years is not realistic. Not done cathedral is very much a part of in the shuns homes life every day from the balcony she looks to see if its still standing. Puffy yeah after the blaze denise is still not about the true more of it. I dont have a dog walk. There straight ahead it was exactly where the tower was it we saw how it caught fire started wobbling left and right and then broke off. It was a terrible. City it provoked that. The fire broke out on a pool of 15th why is still a mystery to build it and in fear for not thousands of people gathered spontaneously in front of the cathedral millions worldwide in front of their screens tonight denise and her husband unjustly want strong that balcony. Construction is moving ahead but its much slower than residents would like the cathedral is still in danger of collapsing the building must 1st be stabilised says architect. Shes angry at president obama call he promised to rebuild a cathedral in just 5 years she says thats completely unrealistic. Renovations will take at least 10 years and thats only if a miracle happens and they find the right kinds of wood and stone and if all those employed work well with ace fire has plunged us into an enormous crisis we expected the government to ask the french people to trust us expats but that was not the case that about them i could go after all as a unesco World Heritage site the government must put all its cant on the table it is it to the parisians and the tourists 50000000 of whom came here every year before the fire. What eyewitnesses on the night of the fire could not have known was that more than 400. 00 tons of toxic lead would be vaporized and spread over the neighborhood official information on the dangers off to the fire was almost nonexistent this so shocked metate today that she took on the view fortys failed to do she went for. To fedora over the following weeks to warn the residents. Actually the construction site must be completely sealed and lead molecules must be prevented from getting into the environment during the construction. At least just a little here in the new. Clarendon these are devout catholics and believe that god has personally protected not a dam from collapse until now before there was a project to hand. That off and Nothing Happened to the virgin birth child all there was a great everywhere and she didnt even have a scratch not even a scratch thats a sad prize is sassiest episode on the thickness of. Load in the knees are quite sure that theyre not what are most stand here as splendidly as before and i hope theyll live to see it.
