Last stop to private in hawaii to find out which country dominated a qualifying for such things taking him picks next year. And have a home free glad you could join me british Prime Minister Boris Johnson has won the backing of lawmakers for his bill to take fortune out of the European Union now the vote followed the concern. It is substantial victory in last weeks snap election the veil has a few more stages to go through before it becomes law but getting past this 1st hurdle means that the u. K. Is finally on a definite course to leaving the European Union at the end of next month. After winning his historic election victory last week Boris Johnson said he wanted to heal the nation and in the house of commons he presented his bracks sits bill as a step towards that was a time that together as one reinvigorated nation one United Kingdom filled with a renewed confidence in our National Destiny and determined the glass to take advantage of the opportunities but not before us but despite the sweet talking johnson had stripped away many of the sweetness trees a may had added to help and peace support it before the election that raised passions from the opposition. This things out of an issue is not only workers rights that are being downgraded it is commentary and rights because the ability of the legislature to scrutinize executive has been taking it is bad for democracy. Outgoing labor leader Jeremy Corbyn still licking his wounds after humiliating defeat drew attention instead to what he saw as bracks its damaging implications for ordinary people will sell out on this deal will be used as a battering ram to drive us down the path of yet more deregulation. And so wards i took sick deal with donald trump he didnt draw attention to a surprise in johnsons bill which will limit the negotiating time to just 12 months critics argue it will give the Prime Minister thats room to maneuver in talks johnson says itll speed things up yeah it is true we depart from the e. U. On the 31st agenda that point breaks it will be done it will be over johnsons mantra during the election was get bracks it done but its unlikely that the argument over britains place in europe will end with this bill on the new rules well the correspondent bob of a zal says that the mood among conservative m. P. s is trial and after Boris Johnson won his brags that vote in the house of commons. Britain is going to leave the European Union on the 3031st of january. And the triumphant poll of conservative problem in chariots that we just saw and heard again means to let go of all hope for those who had opposed the protest movement and of course deal position would try to sort of wrangle concessions far soft of rexx it or maybe a 2nd referendum for months and months on end we remember this fractious year in british politics but all that is now coming to an end because the rest is mere formality there are some fall new votes to overcome in the end nothing now stands in the way of Boris Johnson and his brics it. So that is the respective from london the path ahead is still fraught with pitfalls and perhaps the Biggest Issue remains what will happen in an island off the brakes it will kick you know from business is here to explain why good to see you i mean 1st off what has been the reaction in audit today to this vote i think probably relief on the one hand a certain amount of bewilderment again an ongoing sadness that britain is leaving the u. Because obviously its its for our land it is a tragedy and also a major challenge and then also a certain amount of skepticism its almost like the boy who cried wolf you know theyve heard so many different so many times this is going to happen so i think theres going to be a combination of all these different feelings when when people in art and see what Boris Johnson is saying today in the house of commons and one of the things that he was saying in the house of commons today was the fact that this now so the issue over the irish buddha arguably one of the trickiest most contentious issues in this whole debate is he right when he says well i think like a lot of things he said in the run up to the to the election talking about the bracks issue is that i mean its partially right in the. The solution that hes come up with moves the moves the hard border to back to the seaports where goods coming into the into Northern Ireland will be checked at the seaports rather than at a hard border with the rest of our land with the south of ireland but at the he also said that it will be no problem with czechs a lot of the commentators today under also members of the government have been saying that actually there could be some problems with this and that he needs to maybe calm down and be a bit more considerate in his approach to this off of this bill is passed were talking about you know a few trading relationship between the u. K. And the European Union the world to the law its largest economies i mean why is tiny island so central in this well its made i mean because of the historical relationship because a part of the island of ireland is a part of the United Kingdom and even though and is very small in economic terms regarding in relation to the to the United Kingdom it is a member of the e. U. The e. U. Has backed arlen in the face of whats going on in the u. K. And it also has huge potential for if you look at scotland scotland is looking at whats happening in ireland in the recent election voters in Northern Ireland 68 percent of them voted in favor of remain parties so that could be the northern arm decides to leave. To leave britain which for would which would be a disaster for the whole bracks of project it would also spark movements in scotland so theres a lot of different issues even though on it is quite small geographically it has fights above its weight in terms of the importance that it has for the overall brecks of the base you just get the sense today that there are potentially so many more steps to come surprises pitfalls potentially that putting into that to for us today cafe and from business thank you so much.

Massive protests have broken out once again in the National Capital we have the john was just one of the biggest mosques in the country and protesters have turned out in force to speak out against the controversial citizenship Amendment Act but this is not the 1st time that a process happening in dendy the act was passed over 2 weeks ago in parliament and there have been taught tests almost every day and theyre also not district to new delhi yesterday of protests broke out across 10 states the missions were not granted on many of these fought us but people have still turned out the missions were not granted for the spot test either which is why of this also a heavy security deployment on the ground the police has been criticized over the last week for using Excessive Force the example of the jon hammar. University in new delhi stands out when last weekend students unless of the Police Deployed Excessive Force beat up students and also used tear gas against students who were protesting peacefully the police have the night these allegations and they say that only the minimal amount of force was used theres also been widespread criticism of the fact that internet shutdowns have been carried out across the country in different parts of the country where protests have broken out that questions being raised if this government is using undemocratic means to clamp down on dissent these top test just civil protests have largely been peaceful there have been some reports so while and but most of these protesters turning out are only coming out with both does and slogans the critics of this act and the protestors are saying that this act is unconstitutional because it violates the secular fabric of this countrys constitution theyre saying that granting citizenship on the basis of religion is not something that india. Should we doing as a secular country this act basically makes it easy for non muslims from afghanistan mung edition pakistan to gain indian citizenship and protesters and critics are concerned that this combined with other boiler seas off the Indian Government could harm Indian Muslims the government has denied that this act will impact Indian Muslims in any way but protesters here are telling us that they will continue with this civil unrest until the government does something that is also high hopes been staked in the Indian Supreme Court the hope is that the Indian Supreme Court will strike down this act as unconstitutional. Well the troubled u. S. Aircraft Company Boeing faces another setback its starliner astral capsule went off course and didnt reach its planned or base but the u. S. Space agency nasa says that the an unmanned spacecraft is in a stable position after its launch on a test flight to the International Space station on friday now the starliner is meant to free nasa from reliance on russia to travel to the International Space station now has been forced to rely on russian soyuz rockets to transport is astronauts since the Space Shuttle program was terminated in 2011 well in a News Conference in the us or administrator Jim Bryden Stein said that a technical error with the on board clock caused the glitch to take a listen to what he had to say. That anomaly resulted in the vehicle believing that the time was different than it actually was and because that timing was a little bit off. What ended up happening is the spacecraft tried to maintain a very precise control that it normally wouldnt have tried to maintain and it burned a lot of a lot of prop in that in that part of the flight and when that prop got burnt looked like we were going to be able to go ahead and rendezvous with the International Space station well lets bring in kate cowan now a former nasa employee and now a credentialed nasa journalist kate according to a nasa administrator the timing was a bit off is that an accurate assessment of what went wrong in your view oh yeah he explained it perfectly well the clock did not know what time it was but the spacecraft did exactly what it should have done at the time the clock find it was unfortunately the clock was wrong and here we are ok so i mean nasa was also katie seeking to reassure perhaps all those space geeks out there saying that they stole a line as all the systems are working does that look to be the case. If the spacecraft is most likely perfect condition and Everything Else henceforth will go according to plan except its main purpose of flying was to test the spacecraft and also go to the International Space station and it will not be able to do that its likely that it will come in to land in about 2 days otherwise again its just a matter of the clock not knowing what time it is and everything you know not going according to plan so the program will go ahead with these 1st test flights including astronauts next year one of them did appear at the News Conference lets listen to what she had to say and then come back to. We are looking forward to flying on starliner we dont have any safety concerns that everything an asset and all the systems that would keep us safe have functioned properly on the launch and currently on the vehicle were looking forward to all the test data im looking forward to landing at white sands so i guess the question is is this a line of ready to bring astronauts safely into space and crucially back safely as well well one of you just heard an astronaut say shes ready to go and so i mean i take that with the agree deal certainty but yet that these years you know hes always a 1st time why something that is what has happened here and you know sometimes things go well sometimes they dont i hope we dont hear the phrase space is hard because this is something that you know the u. S. And russia have been doing for more than half a century and is putting people low earth orbit but that said this is an advanced spacecraft its had the benefit of half a century of flying people into space and you know if if youre going to have a problem have a problem with the clock because again the clock was off but the spacecraft to everything perfectly well just at the right time so you know this is probably the best bad problem you could have in a flight like this is that normal day because the cutting off it seems like something that nasa should be able to get right you know what this is certainly for getting the to be honest when i heard this is what the cause was this is sort of like forgetting the tie your shoes i mean its you know normally the 1st flight you expect something much more complicated or you know its good to go wrong but this is sort of a you know. I would like to hear the meeting where this was 1st announced to nasa that the clock was wrong and very brief if you dont mind i mean how important is this program not just for nasa but boeing as well because it has had a low point reputation a flight. Well you know its a big company so i wouldnt connect this spacecraft in any way with the airliner problems with that theyre just 2 totally different groups of people to truly have types of vehicles and so forth clearly its important to boeing you have there is another company several of the companies that are doing this as well space x. Will be flying their own crew spacecraft soon and theres several other companies that are looking to get involved as well and what nasa decided to do here was as they replace the Space Shuttle with commercial vehicles they were kind of smart and thought you know what i dont want to have just one way to get to space i want 2 or 3 such that if Something Like this happens youve got another type of spacecraft that can pick up the slack so you know again something went wrong it shouldnt have gone wrong but you kind of see that this the system actually is a little bit better thought out than the way that weve used to put people into space which is one big spacecraft with no backup yet its always good to have backups but are you confident that they start line up program will be a success story. Yes am i am i getting this is sort of a center so of a unfortunate and slightly dumb mistake but if this is the mistake theyre going to have in the 1st place well ok thats a good one to have all right keith cowing thanks a lot your perspective a pleasure well this is the devaneys these are all top stories.
