A road map for the reckless direction in which the government and the Prime Minister are determined to take the country because the time together as one reinvigorated day should be one youd like each team to. Also won the day red faces at nasa and boeing as they stollen a spacecraft fails to enter the correct orbit meaning its found in one direction and thats back down to the ground it appears as though the Mission Elapsed Time in system. An error in it 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. 2 of us on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world a very warm welcome we begin the day with the next chapter. Britains protracted and at times painful departure from the European Union also known as brecks it well today a week off to a general election which saw the conservatives claim an emphatic majority another victory this time for british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson and his withdrawal bill which will see britain out of the e. U. On the 31st of january come what may while the tally backing that bill was 358 to 234 largely along party lines the government fruit should have won the election on the issue it had been unable to pass the legislation in the old house and this is the moment that the bill was passed in the house of commons with a fairly robust majority take a watch. The the right for 358 the nose to the left or 234 so the eye is having b r as i mean there. Were. Well now the clock starts ticking for the Prime Minister once again because after britain leaves there will be just 11 months to hammer out a trading relationship with the e. U. And a no deal brags it is not off the Table Economic turmoil could follow still mr johnson spoke of rebuilding the nation. You come together as a new product to break the deadlock and finally to get pretty done. The moment is really the European Union to reuse night our country and allow the room a natural affection. For all european neighbors to follow renewed expression in one Great National project or building a deep special and democratic you countable partnership with those nations we are proud to call our closest friends. Straight then to a correspondent with a vessel who joins us from outside the British Parliament in london this evening baba does this result mean that breaks it is now done and dusted. Its not done and dusted but it will happen that is a difference that Boris Johnson really likes to gloss over is the way in the past is now cleared to true for practice it to be happening on the 31st of january of next year this form is nothing that could impede it at this point in time bought as you said that is only a not the beginning and that is the beginning of the negotiations about the next step and breaks in the new future trade relationship with your opinion and as Boris Johnson set out he has. A heart divorce and that doesnt really bode well for the future and also we heard today in parliament that you know when he is in this role that he just loves to perform publicly and he lets his rhetoric really rotten away he was himself say he talked about oceans of opportunities that would open a new golden era and so he makes huge problem misses that might in the n. P. T. Turning out to be somewhat reckless well rhetoric aside begin to take a look at the nitty gritty now barbara stay with us because were going to take a closer look at the Withdrawal Agreement behind this law. Just lation which has been 3 and a half years in the making. The divorce deal settles the divisions of assets and liabilities it also guarantees the rights of e. U. Citizens living in britain and yukie citizens in e. U. Countries and finally sets out the future for the vexed irish border di lemma that proved to be the main Sticking Point in negotiations how to handle trade along the Northern Ireland border between the u. K. And each member ireland the proposed backstop arrangement was removed in favor of a solution whereby Northern Ireland will maintain Free Movement of goods across the border. Avoiding a hard border with customs post was seen as essential for protecting peace in Northern Ireland under the good friday agreement but the future trading relationship between the u. K. And e. U. Remains to be hammered out after britain leaves the block on january 31st 2020 it will adhere to rules during a transition period until the end of the year. That means the risk of a new deal hard braggs it remains britain and the e. U. Cannot agree on a new trade deal by the end of 2020 e. U. Diplomats one thats a process that normally takes several years. Of over back over to you that did mr johnsons sweeping election election victory effectively settle this debate in the u. K. It ended the debate in a way because the opposition is in tatters theyre just going through the moves of sort of opposing borash on sin and his sort of sweeping race to victory with regard to bracks it. And the broader protest movement within britain people whove been out to the hundreds of thousands last summer here in london they have more or less given up at this point in time because people somehow see the futility the election has more or less end of the debate whether the young generation in britain who will mostly be affected by bricks and whos going to lose their rights to work and study and live in the European Union and whether they will ever forgive this government that they will sort of accept their fate that nobody knows at that moment but it is something quiet and its a few days before christmas and as a Christmas Present this is politically a rather dubious one. Yes indeed lets talk about brussels then because its reacted to the very with the new e. U. Council President Shall michelle describing it as an important step at least income. Refining londons relationship with brussels how much of a relief do you think all of this is for europe. It is a certain relief for europe of course because clearly europe wants to get rid of this issue it was dominating discussions it was dominating summits over and over again they had to deal with it listen to with Prime Ministers and theresa may for instance and Boris Johnson coming after her and so to readjust their own position to what was happening in london so at least that will be over but on the other hand they know of course that now comes the hard part and the hard part is figuring out how britain and the European Union on the other hand are going to deal with each other in the future what ruled relationship look like and the signs for that dont really. Make you feel very optimistic at the moment because Boris Johnson was quite hard edged he is taking out all the softer pieces out of the Withdrawal Agreement and he he really emphasized that he doesnt want to align was european your rules and regulations so its going to be bitter its going to be very difficult and i hate to make the prospects even worse but actually were not just even talking about trading of course in a new relationship things such as Security Education medicines all of that needs to be worked out i mean how complicated is it going to be so all of that. It will be very complicated plus it can absolutely not under no circumstances ever done in 11 months that is really ridiculous Boris Johnson has put this artificial time constraint on the talks with brussels just in order to blackmail the e. U. To sort of say ok youve got to give me very quickly what i want otherwise im going to walk away and theyre not going to play ball in that sense so they will have to break this up into pieces the 1st thing on the table pulled. He is sort of bare bones very basic trade agreement so that goods cant go back and forth at all between the continent and britain and all the other issues important very difficult issues will follow after that and every step of the way will be a fight so there is nothing easy and nothing done for the good within the next year is brechts it coming up Everybody Knows that it will continue and continue and continue to give that keeps on giving in a very negative way or and its like is going to be a busy few months for you as well and your european correspondent counterparts profit of a zone speaking to us from london thank you very much indeed. 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 to braggs it will cough it could have business is here to explain why good to see you could i mean 1st off what has been the reaction in ireland 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 island it is a tragedy and also a major challenge and then also a certain amount of skepticism in some ways like the boy cried wolf you know theyve heard so many of you know are they heard 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 bob johnson was 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 seouls the issue over the irish forward to 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 that he said in the run up to the to the election talking about the bracks issue is that i mean its partially right in that the solution that hes come up with moves that 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 the hard border with the rest of art and with the south the violent but at the he also said that there will be no problem with czechs and a lot of the commentators today and 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 future 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 is part of the United Kingdom and even though im very small in economic terms regarding in relation to the e. U. To 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 they could be the northern and decides to leave. To leave britain which for would which would be a disaster for the whole bracks a 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 has it for the overall bracks of debate you just get the sense today that there are potentially so many more steps to come surprises pitfalls potentially but putting it into perspective for us today could could and from business thank you so much. Will russia and china have used the vetoes of the Un Security Council to block aid deliveries to civilians in syria the draft resolution would have allowed cross border from turkey and iraq for that to yes of course that aid is badly needed in syria civilians are being caught in the crossfire as Government Troops launch and you offensive and as s. Strikes k. An increasing number of innocent lives.

Was the conflict in Northern Syria escalated again earlier this year when the Syrian Government backed by russian at power began a large scale offensive against rebels in the region. Caught in the crossfire civilians are fleeing their homes some 8000 people are said to have fled to areas near the syrian Turkish Border since tuesday a region and their idea home to many displaced by the war.

Release 11 people have been killed during growing demonstrations against indias new citizenship law protesters have clashed with police in cities across the country despite large gatherings being banned in many areas where a new law office is a route to indian citizenship for migrants fleeing religious persecution in neighboring countries but crucially it excludes muslims protests to say that this violates indias secular constitution now there are growing fears that the law could be a step on the way to stripping Indian Muslims of their citizenship has more and more people are saying that. And you know the museum will be able to get into the citizenship of india over duties nor the muslim world because this is there is this is something this is a discrimination over act on the basis of religion the modern good democrat the goal of our democracy is to include everyone in a democracy and nobodys right should be harmed when our rights are threatened of course we will turn out onto the streets everyone cares about their independence let that be our year at home you know if you are united we can bring change we have selected this government we can make it through to the government is in power because of us we have given them their power without us there nothing.

Massive protests have broken out once again in the National Capital where average on mommas 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 dandy the act was passed over a week ago in parliament and there have been 4 tests almost every day and theyre also not district or to new delhi yesterday a protest broke out across 10 states the missions were not granted for many of these fought us but people have still turned out the missions were not granted for the spot us either which is wired theres 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 john ham radio Astronomy University in new delhi stands out where last weekend students a left of the Police DeployedExcessive Force beat up students and also used tear gas against students who were protesting peacefully the police have the night these allegations and this. 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 the government is using undemocratic means to clamp down on dissent these thought to ask just civil protests have largely been peaceful there have been some reports a while and but most of these protesters turning out are only coming out with both stores 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 be 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 policies of 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
