Point so why bother. Well because he wants to present the problem as being more notes of his but of the opposition parties not agreeing to an election when theyve theyve said for such a long time that they want one but plainly those opposition parties have made it very clear in the last hour or so that they will vote against him again this evening and given them the parliaments as charlie was saying in that report is going to be suspended for a full 5 weeks of this most critical time its hard to say the good ship United Kingdom is being anything else but bobbing around in the open sea with the engines cuts and the lights off lets take a few from Kevin Maguire who writes for the left of lean left of center news new statesman what is going to do when we when he when he loses patrick tonight says he is is he going to is going to resign do you think or what will it tough it out a bit longer well because parliament suspended actually the number of other news you can take is you know host he severely constrained his own room for maneuver so were likely to hear yet no the sort of probably the Election Campaign he intends to run at some point in the near future most likely in november the 28th is the date doing the rounds here you know hes likely to but as you said blame the opposition parties for that sort of double speak and wanting to delay that moment of catharsis the tories are convinced that they probably want that moment of convulse on the 31st of october we finally get out on the no were all asking each other it is that theyre the same question but if hes if hes if hes still if they say hes got to go to the European Union and seek a delay and he says he wont do its things are going to break the law or to resign as well and its clear from what members of his cabinet saying more moderate members of his cabinet and also plenty of tory m. P. s he didnt who had never been rebellious by disposition or nature have been saying look the moment the Prime Minister breaks the law is the moment we walk in well see well see color resignation last fall resignation the whip so whats more likely that he will resign and you know the influence when she looks like a 70 homes just about the only option he has left is to resign and either get gerry corbin to see an extension or an alternative tory Prime Minister to seek an extension just on up. About an alternative conservative Prime Minister clearly in this in this interregnum we have this feeling we got here it is the Party Conferences that start could end up in the beauty parade of people who think they might have a chance of taking over from jobs and goodness well yes indeed but then the problem for prospective conservative leaders even if theyre a caretaker who extends out 50 is exactly the same which is the electoral problem tory m. P. s think their dog knows is that delay means annihilation the ballot box for knowledge of rajapaksa policy so really as much as you know they can do the activists or you know stake a claim to succeed johnson in the media or long term the problem is not the same if johnson choose not to defy the law and somebody has to delay it in the end isnt a problem for the conservative party which is in government they still havent defined adequately within themselves what they think actually means and therefore they can never get it through parliament because its still unclear and they fight between themselves as to the definition of it yes absolutely and what part of the mistake Boris Johnson made in his Leadership Campaign was just so severely constrained is room for maneuver the start people were talking about a time limit on the backstop or a codicil rush change of letters which is the upper end of what we would offer but it was still a sort of semi plausible landing zone he for reasons that are lost on even his more extreme buckers said he wants to backstop back to me and you know he says you know where is labor m. P. s could have voted for a bus over the time limit hes asking for impossible proposition and one that is m. P. Where anyway and they still havent got the answers patrick well i thank you very much Kevin Mccullough so different as a different term this year of the telly mirror front from aspects of much more this afternoon thanks you for that all right thanks laurence largely life 1st there in london or as in when an election is called in the u. K. One of the tightest battles will be in the city of canterbury in 2017 labor took it over took it from the conservatives for the 1st time in almost a century paul brennan went to see how voters are feeling now. The river star winds serenely through historic canterbury far from the political storms of westminster punters glide on Crystal Clear water braving september. Its a far from typical constituency but a crucial battleground you get the students who are on the whole very very liberal usually on the on the left of center. But you also go to a fairly affluent section of canterbury. Who in my experience can be quite a grew a civil a conservative tourism is big business here more than 7000000. 00 visitors a year generating 550000000. 00. Uncertainty has a direct impact and we actually had a number of a number of School Groups from from europe cancel because they were concerned about chaos and delays that kalai and theyre worried about having their kids stuck in traffic for hours and hours and hours in 2017 the citys 40000 strong student body helped return a labor m. P. Here a shock result in a strongly conservative region with the next election date still uncertain only the conservative party has so far named its candidate and shes already knocking on doors stockpiling Campaign Materials and mobilizing supporters i want a general election i want to give the people of canterbury the chance to vote for a conservative because ive got a big program and i want to get on with delivering so from my point here it cant come soon enough. The timing will be crucial an early election might reduce the size of the significant student vote and tactical campaigning might also emerge. If theres some kind of alliance be an official alliance or an unofficial alliance i think people might vote for that i think theyll be a lot of conservative voters who are not of the the mindset that says that. No deal is better than no exit what if the Prime Minister ploughs on regardless and ignores parliament its beginning to look Like Parliament isnt respected parliamentary sufferance isnt been respected by the government and its a wholly unprecedented situation it really destroy into question the whole idea of parliamentary democracy in britain its quite scary to be honest the 2017 Election Results in cancer he was perhaps the result of some unique practice the large student population the lackluster campaign for by the sitting conservative candidates but just as shaw says pilgrim 600 years ago came to this city seeking enlightenment political observers could do a lot worse than look so this constituency as an indicator of the results of the next general election paul brennan on 0 canterbury. All right now back to our top story the ongoing violence in fast so and the effect its been having there on the worsening humanitarian situation were going to go back and speak again to Stephen Anderson spokesman for the International Committee of the red cross he joins us via skype from wagadu thanks very much for being with us sir appreciate your patience this time around so let me let me ask you again and. Just give us a sense of just how difficult the situation is there and the challenges that are facing aid workers in getting help to people there. Yes well the situation is its really difficult there are many people that are forced to flee there are displaced so were talking about some 270000 in august and then many many people also have problems having access to healthcare were talking here about about half a 1000000 people and the situation really has degraded deteriorated rapidly in the past months since the beginning of 2019 actually so for people its really very often an extremely hard choice between staying in their village with lots of security very often difficulties to Access Health and water or basically leaving and leaving everything behind so its extremely harsh for them and for us for the International Committee of the red cross also for the Red Cross Society or other humanitarian workers its not easy to work in this context because there are some issues related to access and security which we always have to monitor and which sometimes make it difficult to reach people so what specifically are you calling on the government there to do nor to improve the access that i can get into people there. Well we were calling basically to arms carriers to to really be aware of the fact that we are here organizations like ours to provide help for the people so that there is awareness of those needs and acceptance for humanitarian organizations to to come because because this is really becoming more and more needed another issue that i can flag here as well is that there is not so much interest so far in this situation i think booking office was not much in the headlines and this is also an issue that we can also have more awareness from the International Community to help more financially so you mentioned there that its not a story thats getting a great deal of attention what what needs to happen for that to change there. Well its hard to see it think it where nist about some of those figures i was mentioning before about what it means for the people its really an extremely difficult situation for them last week colleagues of mine were in a logo which is very close to where the security incidents the attacks that you mentioned earlier happened so they saw the Health Center there and you know just having more of an awareness of what it means for people to come without anything not to have possibilities to for example for pregnant women to to give birth in decent conditions some people who really has it dating before the date go on the roads to walk and walk often long distances to Access Health centers so all of that i mean this is a reality that these people are living every day since a number of months and that basically hasnt really made it to to the headlines yet im not saying this is necessarily something that has to take place right now there are many situations in the world that are unfortunately dire but i think the situation here is really one that is becoming problematic and its a regional issue as well have course we have mali and that are neighboring countries which also suffer from a number of humanitarian problems its the region really. And you know we talked a lot about how the violence. Is affecting the situation there to what extent to what extent does it down to other factors. In that country and in the region. Yes i think you balance is definitely. An important cause of humanitarian problems but of course were talking about a country where water is cars where also climate is changing its very dry very hot most of the year so these are all factors situations that basically pile up and for the people its extremely difficult to cope good to speak with you stephen and thanks very much. Mike. About 60000. 00 families from kenyas mao forest are being evicted the government says it is to protect east africas largest forest. Most of those afflicted say theyve been cheated by the state.

There is going to be trouble most of the people will go to the people who sold them their land and that will start a very big conflict to block it while really really not a lot more ahead of elections politicians see an opportunity some promising homes to settlers others blaming their political opponents for the Massive Action money millions were offered for those in government this is simply an attempt to protect an ecosystem which affects millions of people.

A strike by. British Airways Pilot is causing major disruption for passengers worldwide 1st day of a 48 hour walkout is grounding nearly all of the airlines 850. 00 daily flights and around 150000 Travelers Union leaders for b. H. 4300 pilots one of the biggest share of the profits Airline Managers describe staff salaries and benefits as world quads and your partner is the head of aviation studies at the university of west london he says British Airways would take a significant financial hit from the strike the main reason is the pilots for many many years have been working to be a they have seen British Airways make profits and they feel that that probably should be shared with them more than it currently is and basically they would like priest now that i think be able of the 11 and a half over the next 3 years and the pilots and the unions are not happy with that which is why theyre on strike and the reason theyre on strike now well is the back end of the summer is still a fairly busy period for British Airways for aviation europe in general and so have the strike now has a bigger impact on corporations and profits than it would be later on in the year and so the impact operation usually is is quite significant that lucky obviously that theyve had a bit of prewarning about the strikes theyve had about 14 days notification from the pilots that the part that the flights will be cancelled will stress will take place and therefore be a have been able to do some preplanning around the dock an impact is quite significant and financially i think many Industry Experts are estimating some of the region of about 14000000. 00 in pounds for each day that the strike goes on.

President Vladimir Putins United Russia Party has lost a 3rd of its seats in moscows reach Regional Election but retains its majority the Opposition Communist Party more than doubled its seats in sundays election dozens of opposition independent candidates were banned from running and that provoked some of the largest antigovernment protests for years of the vote is seen as a test for National Elections in 2 years time steps bosn as more from moscow. Well everyone here in moscow still still trying to make sense of what exactly has happened in these very well watched elections its an interesting and complicated political scheme that has played out but indeed the russia United Russia Party the ruling party has never lost as many seats a p. For ever and they lost a monopoly basically they have still the majority in this moscow city duma so date still can basically have their influence 1st but they have to deal with a lot of forces at the moment not the actual real in the pan or the opposition because they were simply banned from running in the 1st place but the communist party has a grown here is significantly becoming it has never been elected serious opposition very much opposing the ruling party but it will mean that is more diversity in this in this moscow city duma but what it means even more is that this is a signal that despite this crackdown by the government on the opposition many people have been arrested they have been jailed for a long sentence just they have been beaten up but still that they have made this voice heard through this socalled smart vote which was called for by his opposition a figure alexy now fairly and this has basically been successful looking adult here in moscow this means that the opposition is a force to be reckoned with and thats as some people have described it some cracks are now appearing in putting through. The United States says hes delivered enough emergency supplies for 44000 people of the hurrican dorrian hit the bahamas but the u. N. Says 70000 need feed and shelter as conditions on the worst affected islands are rapidly deteriorating. I had a chance earlier today to tour the damage from the air and i have a call and what i was struck by was. The the focus nature of the devastation so there are parts. In the bahamas that dont show a great deal of damage and then there are clusters in communities that were devastated almost as though Nuclear Bombs were dropped on them thats how great the suffering is of the devastation is thing. How many survivors are being relocated to shelters in the capital of the bahamas from now on the reports. At this Community Center in nassau dozens of volunteers are sorting through donations for support from the International Community for survivors of Hurricane Dorian has been immense. Despite relief efforts however many continue to suffer the psychological effects of the devastation we have a lot of people over lost their loved ones. We have people who dont know where their loved ones are feeling with the cube stress disorder people have a lot of. I most likely will react various things posttraumatic stress disorder as well. Government says that as many as 3500 evacuees have arrived in nassau most of the displaced are from the islands of abaco and grand bahama the areas worst affected by Hurricane Dorian. In all its estimated that more than 70000 people have been left without food and shelter thats nearly one 5th of the bahamian population. Was a katrina i know the people of new orleans were totally on im prepared for. We didnt expect it. But ted and some ways by the not for the magnitude and so when these people come they have been traumatized by do is make life for them with normal as possible. Nassau has become a final stop for many hurricane survivors with no place else to go some here seem dazed and unsure of what theyll do next is my house destroyed i dont see everything no clothes and i get the slippers and from here you know and they bring some clothes for us and you know what i mean theres some stuff that a little. You know they. Dont. But why did this shelter is caring for more than 200 people the building is active passive but donations happen forthcoming guaranteeing everyone a safe place to rest a decent meal and medical attention for those who need it were at the fox hill Community Center in nassau where volunteers in some cases are up to their waists in donations but the need here in the bahamas is so great that any donations of food water medicine hygiene kits like these donated by the red cross are all very much welcome. Shelters for the displaced can be found all around nassau which is home to 70 percent of the countrys total population but as more evacuees arrive space becomes limited relief workers have begun setting up tents ahead of the arrival of even more evacuees the concern now is that nassau may not be prepared for the Long Term Care of the thousands whose communities have been destroyed many will rob lowe al jazeera Nassau Bahamas along as and cattle farmers in brazil are being accused of destroying the amazon rainforest prosecutors say there arent enough officials to stop them latin america and its embassy in yemen went to a community where peoples lifestyles are under threat.
