Pope francis and his africa trip with a visit to the Indian Ocean Island just the rishis was honoring the memory of a missionary work for tolerance and into fake understanding. Welcome to the program im phil gale well the British Parliament begins a 5 week suspension later today lawmakers are being sent home because of how they vote on the Prime Ministers called for a snap general election though another projection is likely Queen Elizabeth meanwhile has formally approved a law forcing the government to delay it unless it can strike a deal with the European Union. And then of a dramatic announcement the speaker of Parliament John bercow has announced that he will stand down within weeks the Prime Minister barged johnson his way from western to waddle this has been going on hes been holding back the talks with his irish counterpart leo broad in dublin the 2 leaders are hoping to resolve the impasse over what will happen at the irish border if and when the u. K. Leaves an even thing union so lets hear from the silly. I am ready to listen to any constructive ways in which we can achieve our goals and resolve the current impasse the what we cannot do it will not do and i know you understand this is a greets the replacement of the legal guarantee with a promise thank you ive looked carefully at no deal ive assessed its consequences both for our country and yours and yes of course we could do it the u. K. Could certainly get through it but to be in no doubt that outcome would be a failure of state craft food which we would all be responsible and so. Far as johnson speaking that dublin so a busy day in the u. K. Lets go to the capital to london where we joined the deputy correspondent of mass welcome back at a lets start with this dramatic announcement from the speaker of the house john bercow once again say. Well john burke here is the speaker and as such he is in charge of the procedure at the house of commons and he has said that hes not going to seek reelection so this is important because the socalled Rebel Alliance who have been anti virus johnson and anti leaving the e. U. Without a deal they could in a way rely on the speaker helping their cause because he helped the opposition against various johnson to get their laws debate is and gave them the opportunity to debate on the law that now forces the Prime Minister to go and seek an extension from brussels if there is no deal so its its is an Important Office in the u. K. And turned back and said that you will not be reelected because i think he was fearing that he might not be selected again for the conservative party apparently the conservative party of thought that he is biased so the Prime Minister barak shots and hes been looking for 2 things from today he was packing for us not general election just before bracks it im he wants parliament to be suspended from today what did lawmakers think of age. Well here Boris Johnson wants to increase his majority however m. P. s a majority of m. P. s is not trusting him here in the house of commons they fear that he might just push to leave the European Union without a deal would stay regard as catastrophic has lots of consequences for business possible Food Shortages medicine so shortages so lawmakers want to make sure that when the u. K. Leaves that there is a deal with brussels thats agreed and they dont trust the Prime Minister to enforce that so they said theyre not going to vote for an early election because they want to make sure that the 31st of october the deadline passes before there is an election so another tug of war coming up with Boris Johnson and opposition apparently is holding force now also Boris Johnson is suspending parliament and he said that as of today they will just have to go on an enforced holiday parliamentarians a lot of them are really outraged they want to shape the rexx approaches ive spoken to several of them and lets have a listen to what stephen geffens who speaks for the nationalists the s. N. P. Has to say to this what is your reaction you are actually not sitting anymore as of today i think is disgrace ill be honest with you and frank with you is disgrace were at a time of National Crisis constitutional crisis economic crisis and Boris Johnson doesnt even Want Parliament to sit i think the socks real questions of his plans and if he even knows what hes doing parliament should be sitting right now if you had the opportunity to sit would you be able to do well if were able to sit were able to debate and discuss a future relationship the European Partners we did well to prepare for the future i think our European Partners and jeremy and france and netherlands and elsewhere must be looking on an absolute to staunch friend and whats going on at this time when the u. K. s clearly in crisis the parliament kind of even sit to discuss these key key issues at the moment it defies belief. So burger mass in London Parliament votes against no deal and bets now been passed and now parliament is suspended so whats Boris Johnson the Prime Ministers likely next move. Well thats the 1000000. 00 question what is he going to do next one could argue that the most sensible option for him would be to do a deal with brussels maybe have some minor change to withdraw agreement thats reason may has agreed and presented as a new deal and then get it through parliament or at least try to get it through parliament before the end of the deadline before the 31st of october we know that Boris Johnson has repeatedly said that he is not going to ask for this intent for this extension if there is no deal with brussels that he wants to leave at any cost do or die is what he would he said he also said hed rather be dead in the ditch than actually go to brussels and ask for another extension we know that palm and is making that into law that so the question is how is he going to get out of this hole there are fears here that maybe hes going to even break the law say re will be watched very very closely and we could even see this ending up in front of the of the courts here in the u. K. So final word bit on todays timetable. Whats happening where and what youll be looking out for. Well looking out now for another emergency debate where its really dramatic a debate is if you have emergency debate say so you know nothing is ordinary here feel emergency debate and yet trying to again to force the governments hands they want to know about the no deal preparations and west Case Scenarios if there is no deal theyre also asking for for another clarification about the suspension of parliament they want to see government documents what 7 emails and then they are finally voting later on tonight voting on the snap election whether theyre going to agree to it or not and most likely they are not get passed along to the looks like youve got a busy day in front of you thank you for not. Lets take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world preliminary results and russian local elections show big losses for the voting United Russia Party slate in moscow candidate supported by Opposition Leader alexina valmy one of most half the votes even after many opposition candidates were removed from the ballot there was a low voter turnout.

And political leaders here in germany are demanding to know how a town council elected a neo nazi as its mer Stephanie Jack from the and p d stood for the position unopposed that he won backing from the mainstream parties alike are going to macas conservatives but now they want him thrown out of office. That is not big a small Industrial Park a bakery a hotel and a pizza place but now many people in germany are interested in knowing how the small town and has in the center of germany elected stephanie actually a few days ago the politician from the extreme right wing n. P. T. Announced on facebook that he was elected in a simple administrators of stock but from the people for the people he added to his post the vote was unanimous including votes from chancellor Angela Merkel c. D. U. And her Coalition Partner s. P. D. One of the Council Members who voted for yonks defended the choice if as you can we are trying to help the people and address their issues thats all Party Membership doesnt play a role for us. Stephanie x. Has worked for the n. P. T. On the regional and National Level for the keys but enough thora teams have twice sought and failed to ban the party as a threat to germanys democratic order the Domestic Intelligence service has kept close tabs on the party yeah actually has even shown up in the agencys report on fright wing extremists but he was democratically elected also because no other candidate was available the few suppose that president s are mixed in kind and its a bad that there was no alternative no wonder he got into an event will never end so you would have life have a maybe it will have an effect and make politicians think about how their decisions are received by most people. By. Strengthening we have better people for the job its over. For you to know politicians were shocked by the choice. Is here yuck she is a nazi even after the attempt to ban the n. P. T. He stayed loyal to the party which is close to Hitlers Nazi Party so you know it isnt so much of so in a stupid shit but protest is now also mounting in berlin. As it was going indignation justified yesterday there was a 1st special meeting of the committee and has said so in the us is an aim is to apply for revoke ation of the election of that candidate implemented and put another candidate in his place and then we will have to discuss how Something Like this could have happened. To replace the local council with 1st need to find another candidate for the job. Lets get more on this from d. W. Political correspondent the only farm hammerstein welcome to have me lets start with the day who are they. Well theres certainly a right Wing Extremist Party whistlings to the militant neo nazi scene here in germany and the n. P. T. Has been under observation by the highest rim quote the German Constitutional Court for years and they have indeed said that the n. P. T. Is pursuing anti constitutional goals in 20172 years ago they ruled they only ruled against a ban off the n. P. T. Because they they said the n. P. T. Wasnt significant enough as a Political Force and the German Constitutional Court is refraining from interfering its very careful to intervene in german democracy so distasteful as their views may be there and p. D. Is a legally constituted Political Party the mainstream parties raise no objection to stephanie. When they elected him so why they are objecting now. Well there certainly just didnt expect the reaction the adderall it cost the election of staff and you ask cause and as weve just seen in the report and there are local Council Members often get americas christian democrats being quoted as saying quote unquote would he does in that party or in private thats not my business not our business so they really did focus on him asked the only candidate available they said he is able hes young enough able to send emails works well with computers and then came the National Average for many senior positions as weve seen 2 of the 2 ruling parties in berlin have expressed their outrage at the election the disbelief and a calling for the decision to be reversed and actually indeed the 1st step towards the reversal has been made already 7 of the 9 Council Members have filed a motion calling for the dismissal of the far right extremists so we can say it is it is safe to say the local politicians just didnt expect the outrage there was a lot of political pressure at the highest level that is now causing them to object and reverse the decision ok so everybody was fine with this decision until there was a noise about it and then they said oh this is terrible we heard in the report that local Officials Say there were no other candidates so this sounds like the party is there have no option and it begs the question stream parties running out of people at a local level. Yes it is it has been an issue for years it is no secret that especially the traditional 2 big 10 parties namely im going to americans christian democrats and the social democrats have issues to engage especially younger people at the local level in politics and have younger people run for office for Political Office and a couple of weeks ago i even saw an ad in the National Newspaper calling a job ad for a mayoral position in durham in a small german town in the south germany so there seems to be really a problem of getting people to run for office but of course critics are saying are raising the question whether that is reason enough to elect someone with wings to the neo nazi scene into this office who told you thanks for joining us live from hammerstein. Pope francis has been celebrating an open air mass on the Indian Ocean Island of militias the last leg of a 3 nation tour of east africa in his sermon the pope said young people should be the foremost mission of the church and the faithful to help marginalized unemployed youth and also audit a 19th century french missionary who cared for free slaves.
