Between europe and the u. K. But that idea was was really pushed out when david frost the government because it went to brussels last friday and it looks as if it was a lot of calls for not so much law but pushed out of coal in a very brusque way by his counterparts in dublin like today friday. The suspension of Parliament Andrew the programming as they officially call it didnt actually have to start until thursday and yet here we are as i said monday and the government is pushing it through early why is that. Oh its a simple without going into the fine detail its simple because this isnt in Boris Johnsons control could he get back control whats broken actually starts well technically yes as Prime Minister he has control of it as gordon brown the former labor prime min. Said a few hours but the media Boris Johnson does not have control right now hes not able to follow what he wants to do now that a lot of people might breathe a sigh of relief that but and some might be excited by some of his prospects but that is no evidence that he can do something to the way of a deal so as the hours passed why its going to be a very late sitting and we received a suspension of parliament tonight but it will be a grand affair a lot of pomp and circumstance a pretty surreal occasion really when you consider the 5 weeks of nopal of business of no commits is sitting of no decisions being made well 3 weeks of that will be political conferences lots of things could happen but in terms of actually stopping this new role which will prevent a new deal bricks it remains very hard to see how it can be how it can be changed however always johnson still on record saying he will not go to brussels once they were around about october the 14th he will not go to brussels to sign up for an extension that isnt illegal acts and the debate now is whether he could actually do it without you know without facing the rigors of the lol so that is really a focal point right now for all politicians in the u. K. And indeed a long suffering public as well and with the latest news for us thank you.

The president Vladimir Putins Ruling United Russia Party has lost a 3rd of its seats in moscows Regional Election it still holds a majority but the Opposition Communist Party more than doubled its seats on sunday the vote led to some of the largest protests in the country in years after dozens of opposition candidates were banned from running the vote is seen as a test of the National Elections in 2 years time more from step one in 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 plea for ever and they lost a monopoly basically they have still the majority in this moscow city duma so days still can basically have their influence heard but they have to deal with a lot of forces at the moment not the actual real in the planet opposition because they were simply banned from running in the 1st place by the communist party has a grown here a 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. Some about 60000. 00 families from kenyas forest to being evicted the government says its to protect east africas largest forest but its Nicolas Sarkozy most of those evicted so theyve been cheated out of the state. Segre phillips and his family were having dinner when they heard the sound of a tractor it was Kenyan Security forces who arrived unannounced they ordered them to leave and then demolish their home 20 years of memories destroyed in a matter of minutes right in front of their eyes. This is my bedroom. You know in. My bedroom when i went out of yemen in the thought. Of my. Where i used to visit us you know and ive just lived with them the thing they never did and they got to come. Kenyas government wants the phillips and 60000. 00 other families living in the mouth forced out it says decades of Settlement Expansion agriculture and illegal logging is having a devastating ecological effect according to the u. N. East africas largest indigenous forest has lost almost half of its size the mouth force has a unique ecosystem kenyans call it the water tower because towering above are clouds that drop so much rainfall this forest acts as a sponge 6 rivers including some feeding the nile river and Lake Victoria find their source here its not just the lungs of east africa its also its a water tap because millions of people depend on it. But human encroachment in a changing climate means water isnt trickling like before its rapidly depleting while the government has asked people to leave voluntarily schools places of worship and homes have been destroyed in order to reclaim precious land. With their land deeds in hand most of those are victims 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 the land and that will stop. A very big conflict. While. The head of elections politicians see an opportunity some promising homes to settlers others blaming their political opponents for the massive action. For those in government this is simply an attempt to protect an ecosystem which affects millions of people. In an attempt to bring some sense to their loss phillips explains his 2 Young Children that adults destroyed their home to save the planet its for you he says for future generations. Nicholas hawke aljazeera forest. The u. S. Says its delivered enough emergency supplies for 44000 people after Hurricane Dorian hit the bahamas but the u. N.

Now in the wake of a series of Mass Shootings in the United States a Congressional Committee is trying to jumpstart legislation to limit gun ownership this is of course an issue thats happened congress for more than 2 decades and as White House Correspondent jamie how could tells us now one of their biggest obstacles could be the president himself. In recent weeks dozens of americans have been killed in a series of Mass Shootings in the u. S. State of texas ohio and california. As Many Americans hold vigils for the victims mourning has turned to anger. And a demand for action from congressional lawmakers. The issue of gun control has languished in the u. S. Congress for decades in part because of powerful pushback from the nations largest progun lobby the National Rifle association but thats changing some lawmakers say theres now a new sense of urgency thank you we will now this week the House Judiciary Committee will begin meeting to try and restart debate over limiting some types of gun ownership. The democrat controlled committee hopes to ultimately pass legislation in the u. S. House of representatives establishing socalled red flag laws that seize firearms from people deemed mentally unstable the Committee Also seeks to ban high capacity magazines and gun ownership for anyone convicted of a hate crime. Or love will shatter. But the Republican Controlled Senate needs to approve the house legislation the republican leader Mitch Mcconnell says theyll be no senate votes on gun measures unless u. S. President donald trump commits to signing that legislation into law trump has promised to work with congress to stop the Mass Shootings fied hes also questioned the benefits of background checks to stop the killings if you look at background checks and if you look at some of even the more severe. Busy and comprehensive ideas that have been put forward it wouldnt have stopped any of the last few years worth of these Mass Shootings but House Democrats promise to keep pushing for background checks and a potential reinstatement of a ban on buying assault weapons more needs to be done but this is a story a consensus story a start that the overwhelming number of americans support democrats face a daunting challenge President Trump says he will only support gun laws that ensure Public Safety well also up holding the cost of his no right to gun ownership in the United States can really help at aljazeera the white house. With aljazeera and these are the headlines at least 29 people have been killed in 2 attacks in bikini fall so the state of emergency is in place in parts of the west african country as more than 500 people have been killed by armed groups in the last 4 years catherine so he has more now from cairo. The situation is still very dire along the way on our journey we so many many villages that had been hit and even the villages where some people walk you could just sense and feel the fear and the tension and some of the people actually preparing to leave those villages so its more like and even more dangerous as you go further north and into the for help not access a tall and on to the board with my. Britains Queen Elizabeth has approved a law which blocks a no deal exit from the European Union at the end of october and it means Prime Minister Boris Johnson must now request an extension or get that elusive deal however the European Union has rejected attempts to renegotiate johnson has said hed rather die in a ditch than ask for another delay he is set to call for a new election in the next few hours the taliban says the United States has the most to lose after President Donald Trump canceled a meeting with the group in the United States. Signed an agreement with them then. Not to attack them and toward him. Safe passage if. They would draw without any Peace Agreement signing with us then it is. Our. Consent order or. Our willing with that or not. It is then up to us because there is no agreement so we will attack them if we want their research and our impressed our National Interest we can trust. We see it but not in our interests who are not. Interested not to attack would not attack them thats going to be up to us but to get it going to meant yes we would have obligation not to attack them this 2 things defeated the taliban spokesperson this speaking to al jazeera a little earlier today youre up tight up to date with the headlines even back with the news hour in about 25 minutes right after inside story. Its a local election but a test for Vladimir Putin the russian president s party takes a hit in moscows poll thats come after weeks of protests against the government so how will you deal with this setback and is he losing influence this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im homage enjoy him its sparked some of the biggest demonstrations the country has seen in decades thousands took to the streets over the summer in russia after some of the kremlins fiercest critics were barred from a regional ballot but despite moscows attempt to silence them the ruling party lost a 3rd of its seats in the capital in sundays local election. President Vladimir Putins united russia still holds a majority but the Opposition Communist Party has almost doubled its number of seats so what does this mean for the National Elections in 2 years time is putin beginning to lose his popularity well be speaking to our guests in a moment but 1st step fasten has more from moscow pretty interesting developments here in moscow and also a politically complicated scheme that has played out for sure united russia the ruling party of lattimer put in has lost more seats here in moscow than ever before but on the other hand they still have a majority so its more like a psychological loss for a party that is simply not used to losing and has been having a monopoly position here in the city duma for such a long time and has been in power in russia for such a long time on the other hand it doesnt mean that now theres an independent opposition in the city duma because they were simply banned from running in these elections the opposition has then called for this socalled smart fold voting for anyone basically who can beat united russia and this has now resulted in the wind for the communist party who has never been a Real Opposition Party so its not likely to change much of the policies but it does give a strong signal to president putin and the ruling party that their power base is kind of shaky right now and that the opposition cant be ignored and crushed that easily anymore step 5 aljazeera inside story. I. All right lets bring in our panel joining us from moscow victor or gave it a lead expert at the moscow based think tank center for actual politics from kiev on skype illya. Founder of the Political Movement left front and former member of parliament from 2007 to 2016 and from london and my fear of visiting Senior Research fellow at Kings College london welcome to the program and i want to start with you these elections and the outcome how significant is this development they are significant foremost because this is the 1st time since the ninetys a fake Us Associated with sort of liberal democratic opposition had some kind of electoral success but it is little significant in terms of Political Party development because they still dont have any kind of organized vehicle to press their demands but they acquired a platform there quiet voice they for the 1st time showed that they are electable but the balance of power is clearly in the autumn their favor also we should not extrapolate what has happened in moscow towards the rest of the country which lives in quite different universe victor is this a wake up call for Vladimir Putin and if so how big of a wakeup call is it. Well of course its a wake up call for the russian political system. And correctly pointed out that. Actually the early to thousands liberal parties have not been represented in the state duma and the is also the elections of the Moscow City Council the socalled moscow city duma. Went a bit differently from what the. Program in the United Russia Party. Had expected or. Wanted to show that there is a possibility of growing possibility here a growing sense that in 2021 in the Upcoming Elections to the russian duma the Russian Parliament there could possibly again be liberal members of Parliament Representatives of liberal party. Included so so. These elections that have just just and that they are showing a growing frustration on the part of voters and not just in moscow i would remind you that in the far east for example in about a speech in the liberal Democratic Party of russia which is one the elementary part is. Significant significantly over the United Russia Party and the effect in the election to the Moscow City Council a number of united russia members had. Shown themselves to be a sort of title independent so they ran as independents instead of united russia members of parliament because they thought that their Party Affiliation might negatively impact their. Chances so it is possible that in the next months think the elections to the state duma. United russia could possibly morph into something. A different political that could be significant changes to united russia there could be. More flexibility shown on the part of the kremlin and possibly there could be more alliances between parliamentary factions with united russia in the coming months just how powerful is the city duma were talking about this specific election and also how effective can the opposition be now. You see if we are talking about always call wait. Very much its because of what have just happened firstly unite with russia and they were most brands in light of russia they were almost in the as an independent but nevertheless where understand that the united russia they still control the majority of this. They can form a 60 percent of the seats just before they will control a 100 percent of the seats 1. 60 so its a significant change but still they control the measures but the other most. Rule is the really strange institutional most always at the same time a city and the region affordance of the russian constitution and thats why the governing instruments even in the city there extremely limited and theyre very much controlled by most City Councils by the mayor sources thats why this meaning has a lot of symbolic. Because we will see independents through the in the pound them into the not so much of them but. Into those but we will not see any changes in terms of all the tickle structure of the country and how did the kremlin backed candidates do in the rest of the country basically to have done something that well because. Acting governor those are those governments who have been in powerful long time they all have been elected so no was there has been seriously challenged we build not even have the 2nd round because there was speculation that they will be more consist they should amend some. Of the living terms we will have for the 2nd round of going to go but not for elections with even have to stop where the real follow lies about the level which really masterful Decision Making structure. Yes we have seen united thrushes being a little bit sheepish like and mosco. Pretty much. Appreciating it and accepting that its not really doing very well with the electorate but we also have to say the by and large people are not very active all the president ial elections matter and then you have a real turnout in moscow sit here we have less than 20 top percent in the rest of the well in the country overall 41 percent voted so it shows that its not something which people feel can actually change their life which is tremendously relevant but overall the authorities have enough argument to be able to claim that they have one of the selections opposition of the same time can also claim that they have made significant gains so both sides sort of have legitime of the grounds to be optimistic and satisfied with the outcomes illya is is what happened in moscow this outcome is it the outcome of a strategy by opposition who called on people to vote strategically or is this simply a reflection of the reality on the ground and more of a referendum on putin and united russia when it comes to the results in moscow. You know i think in some objective situation way more than anything now. You see this richness that which in this really losing its grounds he spotty even more so. Will raising sleep for the current Approval Rating is around hes for united russia 25 percent only or some of that and that was actually the reason why was not your life with russia was money laid to the king to the foremost seat to council but the around this and the pump but at the at the other people still dont see that or much here we actually use your. Liberal forces we would be more correct to run them as you liberal forces that must mean. Russia and even then most of the biggest. Support base to tell of get. The majority of the humans with the free elections. Those always go forces which can present the interests of their you either leftists and the majority or those. Tend to those who are. The elections and last who see to do was the related by the want to many people say left them with the real additional and theyre right look the real opposition but nevertheless thats what people would like to vote for and there is no special organized to oppose you from in the country victor as you heard elite speak very talk about united russia becoming more and more unpopular what about putin. Well formally put is not out of united russia he is not a member of the party and so if the party eventually has to morph into a somewhat different Political Movement or if it has for political purposes to form coalitions with other parliamentary parties in order to keep the political system. Along the same course that will not significantly affect his future or his Political Capital that he has built however the general frustration on the part of the population with with the pension reform with a number of other issues with Economic Issues that have popped up in the months and years of course they are going to negatively affect the electoral chances of united russia or other parliamentary parties possibly in the future and we remain to be seen how that is going to be dealt with but the more flexibility the kremlin shows in the policy the more stable the situation is i would also i also would like to note that the Regional Elections many of the governors that were just elected. That were just elected them yesterday were actually elected for the 1st time whether a 3rd exceed. Or past the. Whole region and. In the far east. And youll be appointed by putin because the kremlin actually keeps tabs on the governors that show low ratings and when the governor is in the low rating category for a long time usually the governor of that agent gets sacked very quickly and gets replaced by another governor and we have seen this in the number in the significant number of regions in the last 7. Months and that most of these go theres one very easily the exception would probably be year next on the bigelf in St Petersburg who had the more difficult and mansion and. One of the by his chum that challengers a filmmaker worth of had to get out of the election to make it in a way this made his election easier and the results are still being counted but overall i would agree with. Him that with the government given dorio elections you know the russia short very good results of this point and it looked like you were nodding to some of what victor was saying did you want to add something. Else i would like to the world out what is it im a couple a poll that most collections one lot actually have the results because with their 3 in the know what this newly elected deputies are going to deal with they have power but that the city authorities managed to create such a big issue out of the complaint and burning candle and having pushback from the street and provoking people or more protest action which they otherwise would have taken further the capacity of the authorities to panic and see the problem where there is really not much a win this year that some more Dangerous Things that that we have seen pretty tame elections and most go fairly orderly but we had. A really of that it will apply a big complaint before dark and totally disproportionate Security Response fell tells us warning us about how the us thought it is really feel and what their confidence level is like. Analysts have said that the kremlin was reluctant to allow alexina vollies the prominent opposition politician of course to a. Allow his allies a way to gain more power ahead of far more significant parliamentary polls that will happen in 2021 with the loss of these seats in moscow what does that mean for the opposition Going Forward into the 2021 elections. Well in most elections there were several different president ial groups that were quite interesting a place that was a group associated with them all if you correct them that was. The most key. Other basically with criminal law they allowed on the richest. Always want to double. Time political left her own father to. Sure originates the you know playing to the surface of the most economists what do you mean keep to take the ones who were seats in. All the other tenses the right now cheer as the come thing that the opposition into almost all them were nominated busy by the clintons and by with them say that i was seeing a holiday or bill for the 2 others in the support of the woman this was just what they saw the lesser evil. White the hole in their support for those guys but they actually both think that being the parliament they behave like. Really opposition leaders must be a mighty russia the psychological load the united russia thinks with the victor Vladimir Putins president ial term ends in 2024 i mean there are constitutional term limits in russia but there are many in russia who believe that he will find a way or is looking for a way to hold on to power beyond that either by a constitutional amendment or by perhaps the creation of a special position in parliament what do you think is that something we could see happen. Putin is definitely not looking to remain in his position as president of russia after 2024 but there may be a role for him in the russian political system and remains to be seen what the russian political system is going to look like in 2024 thats a long time 5 years from now considering the fluctuations that we have been seeing in the recent. Times in the russian political sphere in the russian political political arena much can still happen before then and the way that that order the new political order. Is going to were going to see that happen in the next few years a lot of that is going to have to do with how the actions of 2021 states duma the parliamentary elections in russia turn out thats definitely going to have an impact and its still there is still a long time to go i would also theres also a name that has not been mentioned. Here yet. In connection to the elections that have just happened and thats the name of the mayor of moscow he said daniel who is in a way a loser in this. Election cycle because much of the blame for whats happened with united russia and its campaign for the Moscow City Council lies with the Moscow City Electoral Commission the. Decisions that negatively impacted on one united russia which caused disenfranchisement feelings of disenfranchisement on the part of a significant portion of the moscow voters. And so the kremlin. Is well aware of what happened with the Moscow City Election Commission now. And the political ambitions of mr. Gagnon could very well be curtailed as a result of this and there were many protests in moscow this past summer because of the discontent that opposition politicians looking to get on the ballot were disqualified and were able to run in the election of course there was anger at how the authorities dealt with those protests did that feed in from your Vantage Point into the results of the election to some extent a yes a because of those people who are would have voted for this kind of candidates young people perhaps would not have gone to the polls if they did have that kind of stimulus but we have to also say that the elections are left in many more specific areas of those completely cold hearted we have very low turnout just over 21 percent. Or was i think quite significant that the prose us was not that much opposed to whether candidates were registered or not but what group or what made people to redeploy in this proportional Security Response when people have been taken from the streets which have really nothing to do with the whole thing so that created more anger when meant all the street and rather than the initial action have equity what has been said before. We dont really know what putin really thinks but it is a very interesting topic toure speculate about the mysterious soul of the Russian Press but all the most serious note i would say that the elections over into Russian Parliament they doma would barely post this whether there will peer conditions for proper Political Party development free and fair are whether there will be some kind of fresh blood being allowed in whether there will be new or ways going about politics that will be a kind of the albatross of things to come considering the result of the election thus far do you believe that Going Forward when and or if there are further protests that the authorities will deal with them in a different manner. Well i dont see the reason for the process this particular moment because those forces they were focusing on. The selection of the elections are over i am absolutely sure that fortunately mr which of the Something Else in the not so distant future which would promote a law that we 1st but this we will most likely work but i think that we really need to. Focus on those elections we see this. Hour this regime is not unbeatable. It is beatable and thats probably the most all the tip outcome we saw in moscow we can win but we need to. Create a strategy for the duma elections right now we will simply do a lot of the political course for which we can vote for. We only have about one minute left someone ask you to please be quick with your answer how much leverage from your point of view does the opposition have now well at this point the opposition is tempting at least to claim victory in a difficult Political Landscape that it is working with in and as well at times to gain as my shall leverage as possible from this for the upcoming state duma elections in 2021 and that will be the next by the next election cycle a very important moment before before 2024.
