What you our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome. We begin the day with the British Parliament putting the brakes on braggs it and also on the Prime Minister in the span of just over 24 hours lawmakers in westminster have taken control of all plans for how the country will leave the European Union tonight lawmakers succeeded in the 1st round of votes that would make a no deal breaks it illegal that bill would also make mandatory a request to the European Union for yet another breaks it delay into january of next year all of this making Prime Minister Boris Johnson visibly annoyed and angry he reacted tonight by calling for an early election on october 15th a demand lawmakers were not willing to go along with at least for now. Yesterday it was revealed to speak of the Prime Ministers negotiating strategy is to run down the clock Prime Minister i tell you what i tell you to just take a what im negotiating strategy is and it is to get a deal by the summit on october the 17th and to take this country out of the e. U. On october the tell us again breaks it down we are less than 60 days away from leaving the e. U. With no jail the Prime Minister has had 2 days in office before the summer recess and then plan to parag polman yesterday he lost one vote his 1st vote in parliament and he now wants to dissolve parliament hes desperate absolutely desperate to avoid scrutiny but mr speaker i know hes worried about free trade deals with america but theres only one car in a kid she could could i could see him besides im not the Prime Minister yesterday. 21. 00 employees from each other right oh its a full 5 senate going slight reckless no deal break city given that the Prime Minister himself voted against the former Prime Minister why hes losing the whip does this no shows and demonstrate to the British Public his view of life 91 rule for him and one rule for everyone else. I rise to support this bill but before i do say i want to make clear that ive always believed the referendum was out must be on it and indeed i thank you for the Withdrawal Agreement on every occasion that is being presented to the highs which is more than can be said for my rival from the Prime Minister the leader of the highest in all the members of cabinet who several disloyalty has been such an inspiration to so many of us. Are in for more on whats happening in westminster im joined by john wirth hes one of our trusted and true rights and analyst john its good to see you you know you have always been very critical of bricks and. But did you expect to see what we have seen in the last 24 hours in parliament we knew there was always a chance when Boris Johnson became Prime Minister that he was going to play a dangerous game he basically wants to win back all of the 17000000 people voted for breaks in 2016 and wants to get them all into the conservative science and then hold a general election which thought that might have been his strategy all along what we cant of read expected is how brutal and also poor quality in the way these going to be. Annoyed everyone we just heard it in the clip of have how brutal hes been to his own members of parliament and how hes managed to lose his majority and lose parliament she votes so quickly hes succeeded where no one else has succeeded before in unifying the opposition against him which is quite an achievement ultimately so how difficult its got for Boris Johnson and how quickly that may be the usual aspect i mean it has been one review can after another against the Prime Minister but you know as they say it aint over till its over i mean this legislation passed by the house of commons it has to go to the house of lords in the queen also has to give her blessing i mean how likely is that going to happen and then its going to happen quickly by next monday right theres a race against time so we dont yet know its very difficult in the rules as the filibustering that the house of lords could potentially do the difficulties is johnson he himself wants quickly. The other opposition parties theyve got it theyre a bit more relaxed about it because johnson well he ultimately needs is an election as soon as possible he needs it to happen before European Union Council Summit on the on the 17th of october thats why he talks about the date of 15th of october for the general election labor they can wait a bit if its the end of october if its november they can live with that thats absolutely fine because what johnson wants to do is want to go he wants goes to brussels and say im going to force you to basically give me the deal that i want and if you dont listen to me then we go out without a deal the more the clock ticks down into the end of october all for. Into the future then the chances are of him getting this new deal or indeed him even surviving in power so his chances then decrease will so this a timetabling already know to deny and lawmakers voted against an early election so theres not going to be an early election in october 15th that we know that the Prime Minister wanted so what recourse does he have now that parliament has said no to a snap election agent to try again on monday probably so basically labor said we want the law against no deal passed 1st it passed the commons today and we think it should pass the law its either tomorrow or friday labor says right thats all then if Boris Johnson says again on monday ok lets try again lets try and see if we get this chief as majority to hold an election then he might succeed so thats the order who will 1st then an election 2nd and then we might be then looking at a general election then some point in the autumn i want to talk to you a little bit about what happened last night when so many of these members of the conservative party were basically kicked out of the party rightly lost the whip the anger of those m. P. s i mean it was visible today Margaret James he was kicked out of the party she used the words of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher today in parliament and name them straight at words johnson when she talked about words johnsons adviser Dominique Clemens which take a listen to what she said. But the great lady you and i if theyre on show mr speaker one say i thought i says i thought i saw ministers decide can i offer Prime Minister to back that statement placed in mind in relation to his own chief. Domenic commie. I. Was i mean easter breasting applause from labor audiences. Particularly particularly since particularly since unlike the gentleman opposite we are actually devoted to delivering on the mandate of those labor constituencies and we are going to take you to the e. U. I dont care whether that is as close as to the action in question that my own or will friends asked to be in the in their diet be in their diet that we are deciding on a policy to take place country forward not backwards as he would do. Theres a lot of political theater there but what about Doherty Cummings i mean even the tories the conservatives now are saying that you know they smell a rat with him is he part of the Prime Ministers problem he could be its a relationship of convenience between cummings and Jones Cummings is a brics it radical and he wants britain to be out of the European Union thats hes may not but he did say in an interview a couple of years ago that a 2nd referendum would probably be likely and legal right but he was also the leader of one of the chief strategists of certainly hes not a member of the conservative party although hes johnsons advice which is weird his name is desperate now jones his main aim is to stay in power now that so theres that is the relationship of the convening of communions between the 2 the difficulties is not sparked so much as ends but more hes means. Hes brutal he is unpleasant to people in fact even David Cameron has even described him previous as a sociopath and so therefore its hes means and his behavior towards of the mets was members of parliament which is managing to generate such opposition at the moment you see johnson firing by that into this week or they wouldnt be surprising if someone one of his ministers such each of them the the finance minister would go to johnson the say either its cummings or its me and im facing such a choice then ultimately johnson might ultimately have to dispense with his main advisor because what he succeeded in doing is angering everyone we knew that johnson was going to take a program that line potentially wanted to general election but sensing polman out with this probation not the Parliament Sitting for 5 weeks and managing to kick out 21 members of parliament including 2 former finance ministers and the grandson of Winston Churchill right like that is beyond anything that we would possibly even are lets talk about the view from the other side of the atlantic Boris Johnson weve always been compared with us President Donald Trump today trump praised johnsons brigs battles in parliament which ticket was not what he said from the oval office. Well bourses a friend of mine and hes. Hes going at it theres no question about it hes in there i watch him this morning hes in there fighting. And he does have a when forces that are with. I mean. I wouldnt usually answer this but because its gotten so much attention is that a liability for were Boris Johnson right now having done what trump say that to a certain extent no one in the u. K. Is going to take that remotely seriously that the difficulty is that johnson needs trump in one way he needs a little bit of cover from trump this idea that britain my strike a trade deal with the United States and we know full well with regard to china and other countries around the world that trump is not so keen on trade deals and shrum just needs to full johnson hold the line we might give the trade a trade deal to be u. K. So what he wants and so ultimately i to teach what strategy like that statement from trump thats not going to make an impact in the u. K. They see the friendship between the 2 on the trade aspect is whats most significant social and so we were looking were taking this story into next monday is it possible that johnson could call for fresh elections again yes on monday and the parliament has to vote but when does the suspension of Parliament Begin so suspension bottom will happen at the end of the towards the middle of the end of next week i dont actually know is when there is no more business but it will between between the 9th and the 12th of september which is between monday and thursday night so there would be time theoretically next week for another vote to hold a general election yes that would be possible in every day asian month so my prediction would be is if the new or against new deal has been approved by the house of lords i think palma next week will give jones and his 2 thirds majority and then well be looking as u. K. General election at some point later in october john was always we appreciate your insights i think you. Hong kongs chief executive carrie lamb has bound it in the demands of prodemocracy protesters today she withdrew that controversial extradition bill that sparked months of turmoil in the territory the proposal allows the suspects to be tried in chords in Mainland China accords that are run by the communist party fellow citizens for military lamb had already in fully declared the controversial bill is being dead back in june on wednesday she made it formal with a televised address. First the government will formally withdraw the bill in order to fully allay public consensus the secretary for security will move a motion according to the rules of procedure when the Legislative Council recently. Lamb said she was fully aware of the move would not satisfy everyone and she was right prodemocracy lawmakers responded to her announcement with disbelief. Carol confession the socalled confession as the koolaid but then make. Coffee and were still in hong kong we should. Use some garden hose to put. Thats not going to be acceptable. And there were more fires in hong kong over the weekend the city saw heavy clashes between protesters and authorities during the 13th consecutive week of protests. Demonstrators blocked roads and public transport links to the International Airport causing gridlock on routes to and from one of the worlds busiest transport hubs. A program ocracy activist and somewhat of a spokesman for many of the demonstrators said kerry lands announcement was simply an attempt to quell unrest against beijings growing influence in the region we strongly aware that happens behind beijing government beijing and chinese authorities just try to stop protests by saying such. And thats just the strategy for beijing hope to. Reduce the number of participants. In the next few weeks said Mainland China was particularly looking to the 1st of october Chinas National Day a day when beijing will want to avoid a repeat of scenes like these. Well it is being called germanys most controversial tax fraud case and today its trial began it involves 2 British Investment bang. Was accused of helping traders and lenders tricked the German Government out of more than 400000000. 00 euros in tax money and prosecutors here in germany allege that bankers misled the state when it tried to collect Capital Gains taxes in what are known as comics trades stocks appeared to have not one but multiple owners who were each owed a dividend and the tax credit so it looks like White Collar Crime comprised of double tax reclaims and sham share trades its estimated that the total loss for the European Union could be 55000000000. 00 euro as you see right there for germany 32000000000. 00 when you add taxes and other dividends today its just the beginning around 200. 00 people we understand are under investigation they could also face charges its a huge case a huge investigation and im joined tonight by one of the journalists you helped to uncover the comics trading fraud frederick rush there he is with the investigative newsroom correct t. V. Which is based here in berlin fredricka good to see you again we were talking about highly complex cross border trades involving highly skilled bankers and attorneys who were who were accused of ripping off the state and this goes back what about 20 years and yet the 1st trial began today why in the world has it taken so long. Because precisely as you said these transactions are very very complex on trade as can move billions within seconds or even less well by prosecutors. Differently if a prosecutor in co known for example wanted to find out why a french bank to a certain transaction. Might take up to 6 months the close is enormous were talking about cross border deals or tax authorities did they have the people there they have the know how to see this as its happening i mean this is it is a. I think they also had to build up that and obviously the German Justice system wasnt prepared for this understaffed so only a few prosecutions were really up to it but it they work slowly and this is all cross border and Capital Markets are global that cross border through but the national Justice System still so the prosecutor who indicted the 2 and the many more to follow the true british one trait of today shes been working on it for 10 years. What about tax authorities across the European Union outside of germany are they equipped to spot this type of fraud i dont think so because in germany and also denmark but nowhere else really this was an issue but only when we published our own investigation i think its been almost a year ago now. Tax offices politics in other European Countries such as spain france and italy even became aware of the problem so they went even aware of it its only now theyve been starting to investigate this as well so this will all take many many more years to be investigated and brought to trial and we know in germany the. Loophole that allowed these comics trades that there has been closed what about in other countries have a change their legislation well were actually not sure whether its been close sufficiently in germany the traders are very clever they find loopholes once loopholes closed they look for another one so its probably because this was such a high profile case in germany theyre staying away from jones youre not what more for technical reasons then because its been run it impossible so and i dont think its been really close and the European Countries as such just want i just named let me ask you with all the chaos you controversy around break that right now has london become a place in your opinion for people who want to commit all kinds of the. On the Financial Markets is that a good place to hide absolutely because i think that will be even more so a place where shady money will go because it will be you know roar forth and there will struggle to cooperate even more so and cross border terms so and this will also account i think for for profit like this with the average working person who pays his or her taxes you know reads and hears about this you can understand why public drop in Public Institutions is so low i mean its hard not to be a cynic right yes and the thing this was the one story that well really everyone said i dont get this you know why when i finally text for terms as a citizen they look at every detail and banks get away with it and this really as you said undermines trust and its an issue of decisions and to fix it was german politics has been just turning a blind eye on the fridge for too long we get lots of. Mail from viewers who look at if you look at germany and theyre surprised that they could happen here because germany has the reputation of having a social market economy where people would seek on the outside that this type of fraud would be harder to get away with than it would be in places like the u. K. Or the u. S. I completely disagree with that perception because you can you know some industries in germany a very powerful in the con the street onto the finance industry. Not going to say they run this place but they have a very Strong Influence on the government you know because the lobbies of very powerful so thats why german politics is really struggling to keep at bay the influence of Certain Industries and thats maybe the quote reason why this 4th could go on so long without the tireless work of you and others this story may have you know good gone unreported forever what did you feel the day as this trial got under way. To be honest i didnt few months i was the proud and happy when we kind of broke the story last year in a war going over where one would lead when we when we but the Justice System theyve also been doing the job and now its up to the Justice System to decide you know what will be the penalty. But its so thats going to run its course now but the bigger question is you know why did the German Government and didnt do anything for so long and this is to us journalists its an even more relevant questions and how to in the future kind of reduce and will bring more transparency into the relationship between the government and the finance industry vigorously with couric to tonight talking about yeah its huge fraud but fraud that you helped to uncover but we appreciate your time tonight thank you thank you. And now to france where a cock a doodle doo in the morning has 2 neighbors in a feud pitting rule life against urban living a retired couple who obviously do not go to bed and get up with the chickens claim a good nights sleep is becoming possible thanks to a next to work rooster who you guessed it crows when the sun rises angry and sleepless the couple are not running away chicken here they are suing their neighbors for Noise Pollution claiming that their neighbors cock is simply too well. A quiet lunch with maurice who could be frances most famous cockerel his own or korean fares or has lived on the island of all over all for 35 years she points out the holiday home owned by the neighbors who is suing her they allege that morris is dawn cool at 5 am every morning is Noise Pollution madame fizeau sees this as an attack on the rural way of life. Where she usually upon mrs ferry food i said im not going to let myself be pushed around all our elected officials back me its a big problem that people have to understand that in the city they are used to city noises but in the countryside there are other noises that have always been that and that the normal things related to. The case has attracted a lot of attention the feds also have received messages of support from as far away as the u. S. The region. And from europe the French Island of all are on is a popular Holiday Resort for most of the year just 7000 people live here but in some of the population swells to 5 times that the court case hinges on whether the island can be classified as a rural area or a semi urban one many visitors are surprised that the case even made it to court. If i could be these people who come from paris and complain about the rooster i shouldnt even be a lawsuit i just want to beat them up its unacceptable this is all stupid. I think again its a part of daily life and hearing a rooster cry was part of life and pretty nice to hear an Animal Express themselves. Now its down to the court to decide whether morris says krai is Noise Pollution or whether its just a night of cock a doodle do you.
