Of the most power for atlantic storms ever recorded kills at least 5 people in the bahamas. Britains Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is facing a major challenge to his authority as the breaks a drama reaches a critical moment developments on several fronts over johnsons plans to leave the European Union 1st johnson held a Cabinet Meeting late on monday evening ahead of a showdown in parliament m. P. s will return from their summer break later on tuesday the opposition planning to introduce legislation to block a no deal braggs it and a number of legal challenges to johnsons plans to suspend parliament are moving through the courts and the uncertainty has seen the british pound for to its lowest level since january 2171. 00 pound is now worth less than 1. 20 a loss lee is live for us now in london with the latest developments so any number of scenarios could be playing out here in what is a huge day for british politics. Yes its not a salute the massive day and certainly it does look at the moment having spoken to a number of members of parliament either rebellious conservatives or members of the opposition and they do think probably they just about have the numbers to defeat the governments in this motion which would demand that the governments delays brecks its and stops Boris Johnson from going ahead with his do or die vowed that the u. K. Leaves the European Union by the 1st of november its going to be very very close but its hes still thought that despite all the pressure that the governments and forces have been putting on concert of them these that they will be diesel that say that they wont be able to stand for conservatives in an election. That theyre that which is basically kicked out of the party that there are sufficient numbers who are so absolutely sure in their own mind that a no deal bracks it would be catastrophic for the country that they are prepared to vote against their own governments its not actually a confidence vote but thats the way in which the government is portraying its and the question obviously arises if the rebels do win what does the government some what what does Boris Johnson do next but certainly all the reading of it sees that the Prime Minister would then seek whether successful in notes to turn this into a general election issue and lawrence apart from everything happening with bragg says specifically this brings up lots of issues about british politics and constitutional president president and all the rest of it. The questions going to arise just assuming for a 2nd that the that theyre the and see no deal rebels do actually win this evening the question then arises what happens next because speaking to some of them just now they actually question whether the Prime Minister can demand of votes on holding a National Election tomorrow on wednesday because they say that they would then be in charge of the parliamentary timetable and would stop him from from being able to hold that vote now if that were to happen then Boris Johnson suggested when he spoke outside downing street last nights that if he can hold an election he could just choose to ignore the results of the votes and the lights and just plow on with leaving the European Union anyway at the end of october and if that happens the u. K. Is in the massive illegal hole because they would accuse him of breaking the law and if if if the Prime Minister says well you might sort of voted this way in parliaments but im just going to ignore its then he will be accused of having a dictatorial tendency and they would then lead automatically to enormous challenges through the courts and what people are signs of described as the beginnings of an inside constitutional crisis for the u. K. So it is potentially very very serious because the other question is. Exactly how many m. P. s would be prepared to hold an election in the middle of october as far as johnson wants and i do suspect that probably he might get that 2 thirds majority that he needs because i think im right in saying that there would probably be enough consensus and enough labor m. P. s the Main Opposition Party that he would be able to get that sue thirds majority the other thing is do they actually trust Boris Johnson to hold elected in the middle of october because some of them say in my promise that but then actually say well hes got his election he wants to hold it after breakfast at the end of october so there are any number of unknowables its enormously complicated but it is the incredible atmosphere of mistrust inside parliaments all these m. P. s are looking at each other really not trusting the that the motives of other parties its a terribly difficult moment for british democracy indeed a hugely critical day there for the u. K. Prime minister and parliament will wait to see what does happen for the moment lawrence lee live for us there in london now the Iranian Oil Tankers seized off gibraltar before being released is reported to have turned off its tracking beacon the adrian dairy one formerly known as the grace one switched off its track on monday ship tracking websites had previously shown the vessel off the coast of lebanon heading northwards u.

Hong kongs leader has dismissed the lead recording of her saying she would resign if she had the choice caroline says she never planned to quit her comments were recorded during a private lunch last week and come after 3 months of antigovernment protests there when a reports was. This 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 channel said it. Was this. Show. Out so far. This just in the Life Insurance the 1st thing is to eat. And. Is 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 carry lamb says the bill is did the protesters want to to officially withdraw it the leaks 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 end the crisis and that her power is particularly limited at the moment because of the trade war between china and the United States plus home for the chief executive who are close. To hearts as hostages. Said. That. 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 hey al jazeera hong kong. By jim brown is live for us now from Hong Hong Kong so adrian does this we can carry lambs position now with the emergence of this record. I was. Well i think the people around me at the moment would probably agree that what has happened to kerry lam today is embarrassing to say the least these are some of the protesters taking part in a demonstration very close to the main government offices and parliament here in hong kong theyre taking part in the 2nd day of a half day strike but that said it has to be said that the impact of that strike is so far been very minimal all this of course happening on the day that kerry lamb is forced to go public through it since she has no intention of resigning that was in response to the leak of an audio recording that the Reuters News Agency got hold of clearly showed kerry lamb saying the exact opposite so i think its embarrassed her but its also embarrassed her political masters in beijing and of course it raises a number of questions because if beijing had allowed kerry land to resign if beijing had allowed kerry lam to officially withdraw this controversial extradition bill which has sparked this political crisis might that crisis how then did a little bit sooner i think what were seeing at the moment is a strategy by beijing to really embark on a slow war of economic attrition against hong kong as a way of punishing the protesters so i think china is in full for the long game and what is it what is there the beijing government been saying about all this today. Well we heard on tuesday again from the hong kong and Macau Affairs office this is the 4th time theyve had a press Conference Since this crisis began in early june the sorts of Media Conferences of their. The rare but today they in a sense reiterated some of the points 8 made in their previous Media Conferences saying that the Central Government continues to support the government of carry around but what stood out for me was one comment where the official said that if china did intervene in hong kong it wouldnt necessarily mean the end of the one country 2 systems formula but he once again stressed at the moment he believed the Central Government wouldnt have to intervene and that the Hong Kong Government could somehow contain the situation but he also stressed that actually its up to the people of hong kong and the Hong Kong Government to stand up to the violence he said that the Central Government had been alone and that so many Young Children have been caught up in the violence children as young as 12 have been arrested 15 children in all and once again it was a desire that in fact the Hong Kong Police and Hong Kong Government do more to bring the violence under control a belief that up until now they havent done enough.
