3rd largest economy. plus the u.s. military presence in germany has been a constant for 70 years but now the americans are threatening to move to poland our special report looks at what that could mean for the biggest u.s. base in germany ramstein. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us there's widespread anger across the u.k. this morning after prime minister boris johnson surprise move to suspend parliament it will close for 5 weeks in september and october reopening a little more than 2 weeks before the u.k. is due to leave the european union johnson says he needs the time to pursue his domestic agenda but opponents say it's an undemocratic attempt to stifle debate and over 1000000 people have or. he signed an online petition against it. it dropped

like a bombshell in a letter to m.p.'s boris johnson explained that he wanted to suspend parliament until just 2 weeks before the u.k. is set to leave the e.u. that severely limits the time opponents need to stop a potential new deal bragg said johnson denies it's a clever move to silence them there will be ample time on both sides of that crucial october 17th summit and taught in parliament for m.p.'s to debate the e.u. debate breaks it and all the other issues and put it. at a mockery to the ears of the opposition parties and yesterday they had agreed to quickly put a bill before parliament designed to hinder and no deal brags that now time is running away from them the speaker of the house of commons dubbed the lengthy suspension of parliament as a constitutional outrage the leader of britain's main opposition party jeremy corbin also condemned the move suspending parliament is not acceptable it's not all

the promise is doing is a sort of smash and grab on our democracy nor as a force through you know direction from the european union what is so afraid of to suspend parliament to prevent parliament discussing these matters you know i and there was fierce criticism from scotland it's not democracy it's dictatorship and if m.p.'s do find it we have coming together next week to stop in his tracks then today will go down in history as the any semblance of u.k. democracy. the queen has approved johnson's request to suspend parliament the opposition figures have now asked to meet with her put in a politically neutral monarch and risk of being dragged into the dispute was cross over to london now and get the latest from our correspondent there big it must good morning bear gets the opposition clearly outraged by this decision to suspend parliament but what are the british people make of this.

you have mentioned a petition really within hours over a 1000000 signatures to stop the pro geisha of parliament demonstrations i was there last night i would say thousands of people and yes there was a sense of this is happening without our consent they were chanting stop the killing of course there are others there are others here might not approve of the means but they want is the brics it seems true so they approve of the end and they say well if this is what it takes the parliamentarians they are the ones that hot well undemocratic so they should really it's really not not a bad thing to you to throw parliament if this is what it takes to see britt's interest there's a lot of confusion about what this move actually means suspending parliament we know what it means for the brakes a process. well what it means it's not just that

boys johnson has put a lot of pressure here on his opponents in the u.k. but also on the european union he has sent a signal that he really does mean business and what he wants it she wants to have some concessions he wants have some changes to the withdrawal agreement and this is for this reason may has not succeeded in but 1st johnson is to time and to put pressure he says we are leaving at the end of the toba do or die that's what he said and now he's signaling well if you want to have a deal with us you better be give me something i'm really says i'm going to see bricks a tree say this inches him of course closer to you in the media breaks it because it's a high risk strategy might not play it might not be something and that with everything is that it's very difficult for him to get out of this corner he revealed will have to be at the end of october whatever happens the british opposition parties

are outraged even backbenchers and boris johnson's own party are upset about his move to suspend parliament as you say a 1000000 signatures in our collective against a just a virtually overnight can these people who are opposed to suspending parliament do anything to reverse it. post johnson's move has been very effective in just containing the time soon basically for legislation intolerant to be seen through investor time is virtually impossible it's very very different not impossible but it's very very difficult say for them to come together in the last months has been and in known as toss the haven't really found a home and away the opposition is a disparate group that not really united now we have seen moves this week for the empty seat to be more united to you to be would be tough. having said something in

the way of far as john said but they have very little time to do so to say most likely keep you a person of interest no confidence against prime minister also opposition and he's very to against iran if conservative m.p. sorry vote against their own government say if that succeeds most likely receive new elections to get thank you very much. there in london. in italy there's been a breakthrough in attempts to form a new government the establishment 5 star movement and the central democratic party have agreed on a deal to form a coalition government which includes reappointing decepticons as prime minister this coalition sidelines but beeny the popular far right leader who sparked the current political crisis in a bid to take the premiership for himself but will the new government be any more stable than the one it replaces. after talks with the italian president this evening both the 5 star movement and the social democrats made clear announcements

one wants to stay in power the others still want to be involved. today we informed the president of the republic that the 5 star movement and the democratic party will reach a political agreement which is that because they will remain prime minister and try to form a lasting government. it's time to form a government that will move in a new direction no more business as usual it should be the beginning of a new political and social arrant in italy. switch on i there's no lack of similarity between the 5 star movement and the social democrats when it comes to social economic and financial policy but the ability to work together has been repeatedly scuppered because of reluctant key players in italy's volatile political scene the conflict swirled around personalities even

after the collapse of the previous government since the nonpartizan prime minister conti is close to the 5 star movement he will remain in office. francesco von guerard a journalist for the news agency has been following the story all along and joins us now from rome so francesco italy will keep its prime minister it seems but the governing 5 star movement is getting a new coalition partner so what changes can we expect in terms of policy you're right i mean that it has remained the same while de lakes i'm one of the true lakes is going to change that what changes some in them i'm quite sure will there's going to be more social policies and more attention for more i mean for a lot of classes and for the who are a part of the country which have been striving so fuck it which is of course echoes of the fact that true forces were shot basically from this pool from little center leftists best active i'm now getting it in to form

a government of course blamed c o o n's where if i'm going to party and if i stop movements we've got to find an agreement i mean then just think about this a railway fos railway which is going busy to go next to reno the on in france just to give an example but not all the days that so many issues a wage that you force of been fighting constant constant dollops in the boss one in the house here it's not going to fight it down that's going to be easy to find an agreement with you that you have them but i'm sure that it would love to find a balance if they want to carry on and then to the change that you're to go to the national finish of the term where does this leave beenie who pulled his far right league party out of the government in the hope of becoming prime minister himself. well somebody made the banks last now he's in your position he announced a few years strong heart hoof less opposition to the. governing

coalition and we have to see whether he's going to be able to count the lights on himself the support of the rest of the center right we're talking 1st of all about c.d.o. but i'm sure many will appear kind of redundant and they're really not i'm sure they got a presidential palace yesterday with the obvious talk with president not that a lot and yesterday we have to see whether he's going to be able to cold they attention over the fact that he down in the air which is a kind of soberness the and populist unseat which used to be part of the extreme right which is now trying to impose itself within you but so they're real but for most of the money he's really managed unite the center rather it all with the i think you just sound bite self we will find it in the next few weeks and cesco been going on with the downside news agency there in rome thank you very much. now to some of the other stories making news around the world today south korea's supreme

court has ordered a retrial for disgraced ex-president park when high park was sentenced to 25 years in prison on charges of bribery extortion and abuse of power after being removed from office in 2017 the latest ruling that could result in an even lengthier sentence. hurricane dorian has caused damage and flooding in the u.s. virgin islands but skirted past puerto rico forecasters warn it could grow to a category 3 storm as it moves toward the united states florida has declared a state of emergency with dorian on track to hit the u.s. coast at the weekend. and the best film festival has kicked off with a film starring french actors catherine the nerves and juliette binoche the truth is a family drama directed by japan's. this year's festival is facing criticism for a lack of women directors and the inclusion of

a film by convicted rapist roman polanski. just days ahead of us president donald trump's next trip to europe senior u.s. officials have renewed threats to pull u.s. troops out of germany if berlin fails to boost its defense spending in june trump suggested moving the more than $30000.00 soldiers stationed here to poland but would it really be that easy for the u.s. military to leave after decades of military presence here a reporter probably unfunded mark went to ramstein the biggest u.s. base in germany where most locals want the americans to stay. a key american outpost in southwestern germany. airbase the biggest u.s. air force base abroad. just what takes place there is kept secret even 70 years after the base was found it.

is impossible to get any closer to the airbase the entering the compound is a high security zone and we certainly weren't allowed to enter the base itself with a camera team instead the u.s. military gave us some of their own video footage from inside. the u.s. military shows how munitions and weapons are stored supplies for fighters in syria mali or afghanistan. paratroopers practice jumping fighter pilots set off from here on their missions to africa asia and the middle east. defending germany only plays a smaller role according to this expert on the us this is not true. of course as a bit of protection but at the same time history teaching importance of ramstein

for u.s. foreign policy and security policy to not be underestimated. and it's not just the air base the biggest american military hospital outside continental united states is also nearby doctors and health care workers train here for emergencies and for working in a war zone wounded soldiers are brought here from all over the world. very. soon they will be relocating not to poland but closer to the airfield. a new hospital costing around a $1000000000.00 will be billed more modern and better equipped forest at the edge of the air base has already been cleared. the mayor of the large investment alone means there will be no move. you never know what will get used or not but i can't see it happening. in. the us has

also invested a lot in modern warfare in recent years the air and space operations center is located at the airbase it's one of the u.s. military state. it is now an open secret that i'm stan plays a central role in the u.s. drone strikes important information on targets are relayed to the u.s. via out i'm stein. opponents of the base are unhappy about preparations for war are being made in germany for them a us withdrawal would be a reason to celebrate. but most people disagree. germans and americans have grown together over the decades as seen at the german american friendship fest. among the guests former and active members of the military who don't believe the airbase will be relocated. point in europe. forces not only europe africa middle east. and

that's why this place is going to stay here we don't need to leave we have a good time over here. look carefully at the air base more than a 1000 buildings many of them underground the place for that reason they can't move it all to poland. the trump administration's threats to relocate or something people cannot imagine will ever happen. the joint location is too important for both americans and germans. let's bring in our political correspondent simon young here is simon we've just heard from some people in saying that they don't believe that that the u.s. will be pulling its troops out of germany any time soon but what about the political establishment here in berlin do policymakers here take trump's threat seriously well certainly chancellor merkel has said that she's not unduly concerned about this she believes that american troops were here to stay and politicians

generally point out that as we saw in that report you know the u.s. is spending hundreds of millions every year to support the infrastructure that these troops need germany by the way also spends hundreds of millions on things related to the u.s. military and people say you know these suggestions that the u.s. might pull back have been going on for decades but places like ramstein continue to grow not least because they are central to the defense not just of europe but of the united states as well. but does trump have a point though with respect to germany spending enough on its nato defense budget is germany really carrying its weight as one of the strongest economically richest countries in asia well in terms of spending perhaps not because the 2 percent target that nato has gemini's up to 1.36 percent so there's still some way to go

there germany doesn't like to get involved in combat missions it's jewel jewel not war and that's one of the arguments is often made in this relation because germany says you know we put the emphasis on supporting civil society and preventing conflict in conflict regions and germany spends a lot of money there apart from that in recent years germany has got involved in all sorts of overseas military operations there peacekeeping in kosovo they're training in afghanistan they're doing to just 6 in mali and they're also involved in the anti i.a.s. coalition in iraq and syria of course alongside the united states and these foreign missions we should remind ourselves have only become possible since the end of the cold war in the 1990 s. politically in germany now the nato 2 percent spending threshold that's just one point of contention between germany and the u.s. there are many others so many that trump has decided not to visit germany on his

upcoming visit trip to europe. well that's true i've not sure that that's a big problem from did also say recently these very happy to come to germany and looks to do that at some point but as he says a lot of tension between the 2 partners particular of the iran nuclear deal u.s. has pulled out germany says it's still sticking to that plan to get iran on side of this is a trade tensions quite important wave trump saying you know that he's. the u.s. companies are treated unfairly in europe while. she wants a trade deal between the u.s. and the e.u. is seen as possible so there are all these problems germany also not signed up to the protection mission that the u.s. is proposing in the straits of hormuz where iran has been threatening international ships and that is another example really germany says we want deescalation we want diplomacy and we are

a bit worried that donald trump might drag us into some sort of conflict we don't want to be in simon thank you so much political correspondent simon young. swedish climate activists grateful to him back arrived in new york on wednesday after a 2 week voyage across the atlantic ocean she's in new york to speak at next month's u.n. climate summit turned back has refused to travel by plane to avoid carbon emissions young activist has greeted was greeted upon her arrival by hundreds of supporters but she's still less well known in the u.s. than in europe. for the 1st time in 2 weeks solid ground under her feet so we just climate activists gretta to unberth arrives on american soil after crossing the atlantic on this yacht she sailed 15 days to deliver a personal message to americans. the climate and ecological crisis is a global crisis and the biggest crisis you but he has to face and if we don't

into the ball and i come out i feel sorry good enough. i. whenever 16 year old damien gets a chance she trains at this 90 s. cape. she grew up here just a few meters away at the chandelier children's home in nairobi where more than 100 children in need are provided with a shelter regular meals and free schooling but the best part of course so the children say is that skate park. if you get to. be close out must get. the park opened in 2014 and it's not only east africa's 1st skate park but also its largest. this skate park represents much more than a sports facility and a space for leisure this is where the children of sangli have to build that

self-esteem and well on the weekends they welcomed children of all backgrounds from across nairobi to help and learn from each other fun friending together and most importantly to build long lasting friendships. for the children poppy self-confidence they've been able to express themselves they've been able to pool so feel over people from outside but the children from outside come or children one thing for them all. and also for people to help open up and appreciate it but. that's one he says that when she looks at the children skating she sees their troubled past full of neglect and abandonment fade away she sees kenya's bright future. is up in the clinical international dream of going to international competitions or to the olympics and also introducing other woman to skating showing them that they shouldn't be afraid of skating because nothing is

impossible you just have to be fearless and have enough confidence confident enough . either she becomes an olympic champion or not the man hopes to make a living with skateboarding one day when she does. she wants to build a home for underprivileged children and in that dream house that's. just reminder the top stories we're following for you here today on the news in the u.k. protesters are outraged that prime minister boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament for 5 weeks ahead of the break that deadline they have to now sit as undemocratic more than a 1000000 people already signed a petition rejecting the fact italy's just i was hopeful i'd start movement and the center left over crowd of party have agreed to form a new government putting times probably the saw of the 2 parties are joining forces to block an election that could have seen popular far right leader mikhail salvini
