Protests. One of the most powerful atlanta storms ever recorded kills of least 5 people in the bahamas. But it could be an important day in british politics as the breaks it drama reaches a critical point Prime MinisterBoris Johnson facing challenges on several fronts over his plans to leave the European Union johnson is expected to hold a Cabinet Meeting this hour as he braces for a showdown in parliament m. P. s will return from their summer breaks later on tuesday the opposition likely to introduce legislation to block a no deal breaks in a number of legal challenges to johnsons plans to suspend parliament are moving through courts across the u. K. The uncertainty has seen the british pound fault. To its lowest levels since january 17th one pound is now worth less than 1. 20 economists say the sterling could fall even further against the u. S. Dollar depending on what happens politically this month lawrence lee is live for us now in london for the latest developments laurence any number of things could be happening today breaks it coming to a climax whats happening this tuesday. It is an absolutely huge day in modern british politics is theres no doubt about it its the major question that everybodys asking is do all those opposition m. P. s and the conservative party rebels who was so intent on blocking brick sits with or without any deal with the European Union at the end of october do they have the numbers to do its lets speak suits on break whos a spokesman for the Biggest Party in the u. K. Liberal democrats where all you think you go if youre the analysts i think weve got the numbers so i think its going to be very close and weve won votes on as little as one or 2 members of parliament in the past but i think weve got the numbers. Obviously your party the liberal democrats the scottish nationalists you have to assume the overwhelming majority of labor policy m. P. s. Are going to fall into line behind this is that this motion how many conservatives do you think there are steve b. Building behind the scenes talks of them over the last last last few days well i hope theyre going to be in double figures and i think whats happened in the last sort of 48 hours is the threat spurious johnson has made to them the arm twisting thats gone on has had the counter effects and that i think it strengthened their result to work with us to block no deal and many of those conservatives of course are people with senior ministers who understand the implications of no deal and will know that it means medicines food and fuel shortages and couldnt possibly want to inflict that on the country so just help us understand what happens if you win tonight you do it is cool can taking control of the older paper isnt it being in control of the parliamentary timetable Boris Johnson has said that if that happens then he it looks like to that hell call for an election. If you want to do that you need 2 thirds of m. P. s to support he doesnt hes. Going to support that with the liberal democrats for a start well no we wouldnt support it the country is in a huge mess brechts it chaos has ruled the country for the last 3 years the idea that the way of resolving this is to simply kick the can down the road for another 5 weeks with a general Election Campaign you know thats not the solution so no we dont support it and we think what hed actually be trying to do in this way is simply guaranteeing that will crash out of the on the 31st of all tell it but he said very plainly outside downing street last nights that if 2 thirds of m. P. s dont support an election then hell just 2 bricks at the end of october anyone just ignore one of the youth vote. Thats an Interesting Development when you have the Prime Minister of a country saying that he is going to disregard a law the Top Parliament one of paul auster where i think were in a state of crisis like it could be in chinese food can you stop him he will be challenged through the courts he we found guilty of breaking the law by the supreme courts and then he has to make a decision his attorney general for instance needs to make a decision about whether he and his lawyer offices can continue to function within government and i would expect in those circumstances the attorney general have to hand in his resignation and say thats it im out of this government a government that is now going to be breaking a lot of parliament has passed this is not just ultimately leads to another general election anyway well if we run our unprecedented territory when a Prime Minister decides to break the law im not sure where that leaves us if you are so convinced in your role given that the majority of the british people now are against brics its and certainly against no deal what they just have the election vote just push it back to the people its effectively a 2nd referendum anyway it is no its not because of course tory is a may try it exactly thats when she called a general election 2 years ago she said this is an election about brecht give me. A larger number of m. P. s so i can see a list of grabs it the election turned into a debate about whether the government going to introduce a dimentia tax or not so no we think that the only way of resolving this is through a peoples votes then people will be voting on that one and only single issue but you in the labor party in particular consequent on that they want an election 1st with an option for a 2nd referendum is also that only and at what point say you and the other Opposition Party is going to find some joint ground on which you can stand and definitively be the government well we already found that joint ground its whats going to happen today and tomorrow where we confident that we will defeat the government we will require Boris Johnson to secure an extension if he cannot get a deal before then and if you then chooses to break the law well well be taking him to court for break thank you very much there you go its nothing if not complicate its the votes is like this is the early this evening and as tom break was saying it does look at the moment that there are sufficient numbers of conservatives or about rebels that probably do have the numbers and that then puts the u. K. In completely unknown waters but alright for the moment Lawrence Leigh live for us there in london now the Iranian Oil Tanker seized after a brawl to before it was released is now reported to have turned off its tracking beacon the. Diary or one formerly known as the grace one switched off its track on monday shipped tracking website had previously shown the vessel off the coast of lebanon and heading north towards the u. S. Secretary of state my pompei o says they have intelligence the ship is heading to the syrian port of tartus bari joins us live now from teheran so door so what more do we know about this tanker and where may be heading. Well this is undoubtedly one of the most watched oil tankers are currently sailing in International Waters the iranians have said that the destination of the ship is not syria but they have not specified where its going the officials here have said that this vessel was seized illegally by the British Government in this strait of gibraltar on july the 4th and the 28 crewmembers on board the iranians have said that since its released on august 15th the ship is heading to an unknown location that in the contents of it which is 2100000. 00 barrels of Iranian Crude Oil worth over 130000000. 00 have already been sold where they havent specified to whom the point here point of conflict contention rather here is that the e. U. Sanctions that are in place against the Syrian Government are not recognized by the iranian authorities as binding because they havent been indorsed by the United Nations that is the point of dispute the issue surrounding this vessel is that the marines have said that the British Government seized this vessel at the request of the American Government because the United States has been trying to pressure iran into coming back to the negotiating table over the 2015 nuclear deal but since its been released adrian area has been seen heading towards greece turkey and tripoli in love and on since last night and now its not known where its heading but the iranians have said that syria is not the destination but the have yet to the schools where its going and why is the status of the this particular ship so informed why why is there so so much attention on this tanker. Well thats because the iranians believe that this was a tool that was used as a tool by the American Government to try and put more pressure on iran since the United States withdrew from the nuclear deal last year they have imposed a series of sanctions on irans oil and Banking Sector the United States wants iran to come back to the negotiating table because they say that the deal that they had in 2015 was not a good one and the iranians for their part say that that is never going to happen until the United States cuts back on their sanctions and lifts them all together the reigning president Hassan Rouhani just this morning speaking in Parliament Said that the United States officials have approached iranian officials in a number of. Locations over the last year to try and get them to have some kind of dialogue but that is never going to happen the response will always be negative by the iranians until the United States withdraws their sanctions on iran they rein in say that the Us Government has waged economic terrorism on the country and just last friday this very vessel was sanctioned by the United StatesTreasury Department so anybody that is going to be doing any business with this vessel is going to face severe sanctions by the United States so the iranians say this is the use of this war and that is not going to force them back to the negotiating table. Thank you dr jabari live for us in tehran. Our hong kongs leader has dismissed the lead recording of her saying he should resign if she had a choice carolan says she never planned to quit her comments were recorded during a private lunch last weekend come after 3 months of antigovernment protests there when he reports was. He seems to be no end in sight to the protests in hong kong and no sign that the government is willing to bow to any of the protesters demands but in a conversation with Business Leaders that was leaked to the media the citys chief executive indicated she wanted to walk away for a charity set. Cause this. Shows. Our our. This just in the live chat 1st thing is to create. At. Least 2. Hours later in her weekly Media Conference kerry said it was unacceptable that the private conversation had been recorded and she sought to clarify her comments about resigning i have never i have never attended a resignation to the central peoples government. I have not even contemplated to discuss a resignation with the central people and. The choice of not resigning is my own choice oh no no no the resignation of the chief executive was one of the key demands of the protesters when they began taking to the streets their rallies started when the government tried to introduce an extradition bill which would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent to Mainland China for trial kerry lamb says the bill is did the protesters want to to officially withdraw it the leaked comments from kerry lamb come just days after another media report suggested that the Central Government in china had rejected a proposal by her to withdraw the extradition bill the report claimed that beijing ordered her not to agree to any of the protesters demands she also said in the lead gaudio that the government in beijing has no plans to put soldiers on the streets of hong kong to try to win the crisis and that her power is particularly limited at the moment because of the trade war between china and the United States who knows how long how the shootings and those who are close. To hearts as hostages. The settlers. Are. Already. There are already allegations that kerry lamb leaked the audio herself to try to ease the pressure on her which she says is not true the controversy is likely to have little impact on the situation with both sides no closer to finding a resolution wayne hay al jazeera hong kong. Agent brown is live for us now from hong kong say does the emergence of this recording we can carry lance position here. Well i think it certainly in berra says her and the people here protesting very close to her office are certainly rejoicing in that fact this was humiliation in a sense on top of embarrassment and it was a reminder i think if you wanted it that you know kerry lamb really is in many ways according to her critics nothing more than a puppet of beijing and this audio recording this leaked already a recording has in many ways simply reinforce to all of that kerry lamb its quite clear it was taking her directions in this crisis from president xi jinping and the message from beijing is pretty clear do not yield anything because carry law remember according to another report from the Reuters News Agency last week had offered to formally withdraw this contentious extradition bill beijing over ruled out and they then overruled her desire to resign now if they had allowed her to get away its possible that this crisis might well have been resolved several months ago the fact they havent allowed that to happen means as i say that the response from beijing is there will be no concessions they will not talk to the protest movement thats not the style of the Chinese Communist party and have we heard anything new from the beijing government on what theyve been saying about all this. You know one. Well yes we heard the softer noon from the hong kong and Macau Affairs office they gave their 4th News Conference since this crisis began more than 30 weeks ago and they made some fairly strong points they said that hong kong people and its government must stand up to violence they say the masterminds of the violence must be brought to justice and you also become and in beijing once more pledged support for the Hong Kong Government he also said that it was heartbreaking to see so many children caught up in the violence saying that so far 15 had been arrested and one of those was a 12 year old and the arrests here in hong kong have been continuing on tuesday 2 key activists have been detained and also people arrested during the past few days have been making their 1st appearances in Hong Kong Court so another fluid. Here in hong kong or adrian thanks to adrian brown live for a say in hong kong.
