6:00 pm
right now it's clear they are sticking to their message that we will try to get a deal whatever happens we must deliver breaks it by the end of october they're saying if you don't agree with us call it general election right now let's take it to the public but as you were hearing that's not the kind of tactic that the opposition are likely to go for right now by the way we still don't know as you say whether he's going to come straight there to downing street or to or to the house the part of it he's just passing buckingham palace right now so we're not too far away from you he's driving down the aisle so let's see when he gets the end he could he could turn what he's got to go. down and pass downing street and then perhaps on to the house of parliament we don't know but i mean it is downing street full of journalists ready to work to to show questions of the prime minister if he does actually come to downing street rather than to the house of parliament. yes there are a fair few journalists here and camera crews and so on but
6:01 pm
a lot of people down at parliament where there are also a good number of pro and anti sit protesters as there often are on days when there is something important going on in the house of commons those protests are sometimes quite lively sometimes antagonistic and there's a heavy police presence around there. right now nobody exactly knows the timings of what will happen in parliament because as well as those statements we expect a number of urgent questions and obviously this is the moment when the opposition need to strike jeremy corbyn wants to embarrass boris johnson as far as he can. the machinations though amongst the opposition are interesting corben has already been speaking on tuesday night with our other opposition leaders about how to ensure that there is not a no deal breaks it in his words how to avoid crashing out of the european union without a deal there is legislation in place that. bayne act but they still don't trust
6:02 pm
boris johnson not to try to get round that somehow so they've been talking but it's not clear whether jeremy corbett is acceptable to all of those opposition leaders as the head of an interim government which would happen if they if they got that vote of no confidence through and if they couldn't coalesce around one leader of a interim government then boris johnson would remain the prime minister at least you know until presumably the deadline which they're desperately trying to avoid so it's complicated for them as well they have to make sure that it's going to work their bottom line they keep saying is avoiding a no deal breaks it but how they get there is still to be worked out some people are suggesting a different labor person might be a better idea but there's no agreement right now adrian all right the team prime minister threw out admiralty arch the wrong way round the roundabout but then again he is the prime minister heading down whitehall as we speak this is the moment but
6:03 pm
whether we discover whether whether the prime minister will appear behind you there alright go straight to parliament downing street just there. on the top of your screens as you're watching if the prime minister is going out to downing street he will turn right in just a few moments we'll keep you there for a few moments longer on the team past the senate staff and he's coming in to downing street the team the prime minister will appear behind you any 2nd now so let's listen to what sort of reaction he gets from the journalists there gathered alongside you nadine as the prime minister. gets out of the car. and you are right.
6:04 pm
difficult to hear the noise of the journalists shouting there above the noise of the helicopters who were filming the prime minister's motorcade but you probably quite clearly heard are you going to resign prime minister he's going to face a lot of he's going to be asked that question many times in the team throughout the that the day and the coming days. absolutely a.j. you know i was actually shouting that question and got no response whatsoever perhaps not surprisingly but his cabinet certainly rallying around him right now you heard what jacob reese mog the leader of the house of commons and also her leaving figure of the european research group the hardline bret's a group within the conservative party he's been talking about a constitutional who i mean this is the kind of language which is really upsetting some people within the conservative party as well as outside the party saying that
6:05 pm
this is just inflaming tensions which are very clear here in britain with the possible general election coming up that's partly the reason why for example the leader of the labor party jeremy corbyn on tuesday stuck to the message that he would offer the electorate a referendum but not actually commit right now as to whether they would campaign for for remaining or for leaving with a newly negotiated deal that's the labor party's are thinking right now amongst the conservative party well they are saying yes put up or shut up if you don't agree with what we're doing even though we've just been told that it was unlawful to suspend parliament we will crack on with trying to deliver breakfast on a deadline and if you don't agree with it they're saying we challenge you to call a snap election take it back to the electorate of course even if there is an election it's far from clear if that will resolve the bracks you don't pass the u.k. parliament you to reconvene in the next 10 minutes or so in the team for the moment

are right now for a rapid resumption of negotiations it's now up to iran and the united states to seize the opportunity well that hasn't happened yet iran wants a lifting of sanctions now as a precondition for talks to donald trump he's not willing to do that at the moment but he has left the door open the u.s. president saying we are here we do have time they'd like to meet and certainly it makes sense to meet but nothing has been agreed yet 2 world leaders noticeably absent from the united nations general assembly in new york venezuela's president nicolas maduro is in moscow instead meeting with his russian counterpart president vladimir putin who's told the road that he supports dialogue between him and the opposition leader putin says that any refusal to talk would homme venezuela let's go live now to russia's capital step boston is there for

6:20 pm
dollars which is a direct loan when israel is paying that back but there's a lot more even up to maybe $17000000000.00 u.s. dollars that russia has invested in venezuela so for putin it's enough now and he wants venezuela to be stable that's why he has. to talk to the opposition and make sure that all these investments in the country are going to be safe. many things did live in moscow the province of algeria is to post president has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for plotting against the states and undermining the army saeed beautifully was convicted by a military court along with 2 former intelligence chiefs and the head of a political party who also jailed for the latest high profile prosecutions since president of the lizzie's beautifully resigned in april after 20 years in power amongst protests against his rule. egyptian rights groups have documented around

6:22 pm
probation of parliament in the journal of monday 9 support. is expunged yeah the house is instead recorded as a jerk and at the close of the business and struck a clock to correct the journal accordingly and to record the house to have adjourned at the close of business on monday nights. until today members should also be aware the royal assent to the parliamentary buildings brackets restoration and renewal close brackets bill which formed part of the royal commission appointed to the order in council will need to be released signified i wish to record my thanks and i hope colleagues across the house will join me in doing so to the star of the house heading
6:23 pm
clued in the security catering chamber business parliamentary digital and in-house services teams who have worked exceptionally hard over the past 24 hours to prepare for this a resumption you will know but in the name of the public intelligibility of our proceedings i think it worthwhile. to note that there is no mini still a real question time today including therefore no prime ministerial question time the reason for that is very simple as colleagues will be aware that our new chief occasion requirements questions ordinarily are tabled sri sitting days before the exchanges take place so there is no prime minister's questions
6:24 pm
today however of the east scope as i indicated in public yesterday for urgent questions for ministerial statements and other business speaking of which colleagues order urgent question joanna cherry were. to ask the attorney general if he will make a statement by his legal opinion on the advice given to her majesty the queen to prove parliament's here and your neighbors general jeffrey talking here were. to speak here as the honorable lady whose the supreme court gave judgment on this issue yesterday and that judgment sets out the definitive and final legal position on the advice given to her majesty on the probably go should be part of the government's legal view during the case was set out and argued fully before the
6:25 pm
supreme court be hearing was streamed live and the government's written case was and it is available on the supreme court website i took a close interest in the case was. that i oversaw the government through the council. i have to say. after there was this figure that if every time i lost a case i was called upon to resign i probably would never have had a practice. i got over. it and the government i am the government except. the government accepts. the judgment and accept that it lost the case at all times the government acted in good faith
6:26 pm
i don't. believe that its approach was both norful constitutional. these are complex matters on which senior and distinguished lawyers will disagree. on the division or core what i. am the divisional core led by the lord chief justice as well as lord of dirty in the outer house of scotland agreed with the government's position. but we were disappointed that in the end the supreme court took a different view and of course we respect the judgment of the court given the supreme court's judgment even legal turns the matter is settled and as the honorable lady will know what i am by owned by the longstanding convention that the views of the officers are not disclosed outside the government without their
6:27 pm
consent. however i will consider over the coming days whether the public interest might require a greater disclosure of the advice given to the government on this subject i am very busy to give my mom to taking or a promise to be honorable maybe this point but the matter is under consideration. mr speaker i also too close interest in the case. i can assure start by assuring the attorney general that i'm not going to call for his resignation yet. mr speaker and yesterday's. yesterday was a very special day for scott savol and scottish legal tradition going back to the declaration of arbroath the government is notes of of the loss. following and if it steps of scotland supreme court the u.k.
6:28 pm
supreme court asserted the rule of law of the separation of powers and the restored democracy and it's worth emphasizing that their decision was unanimous asshole's the decision of scotland supreme court unanimous chaired by scotland's most senior judge the lord president of the courts of session. most of these courts unanimously found that the decision to advise her majesty to rule parliament was unlawful void entrepreneurial effect but the question mr speaker i'm interested in is how did it come to pass that this was ever aligned to how you redact documents lost with the scottish quarters confirm the suspicion that this was a plan cooked up a number 10 by the prime minister and his special advisers but that well i want to ask itas documents at least used to find their way into the public to me yesterday afternoon when an unproductive version of one of the documents launch of the
6:29 pm
scottish courts find its way to sky news and revealed it turn. the general had said that the advice to prove was lawful and anyone who say it otherwise for political reasons now what i want to ask you trying to transpacific me is this i'm sure knowing him that his advice was considerably more detailed a new honest than the 3 sentences that appear is that under attack to document can he tell us whether a legal opinion was made available to the prime minister or the cabinets the right honorable member for hastings and wright has said that when she was in the cabinet cabinet ministers requested to see the advice but it wasn't handed over is that correct and can you tell us what was given to the pm if not to the cabinets because mr speaker many of us believe that the attorney general is being offered up as a fall guy for the prime minister's course. so does he not to be with me that to release the advice in its entirety will help him avoid to be the scapegoat for
6:30 pm
a plan that was deemed up by the prime minister and his advisors and will he give the undertaking that he has hinted that he's thinking of giving to date. i'm extremely grateful for very honorable maybe you solicitousness and congress for my welfare. i am particularly attracted by the prospect would be honorable a bee dining rooms before me but she will not but i am a blind by the convention to sorry but i am not permitted to disclose the advice that i may or may not have given to the government but i repeat the matter is under consideration. this time if. there's been a run on a woman learned of credibility that if in the future we were unfortunate enough to have a cold be nice to labor government
6:31 pm
a. oh ok ok not for i think we should not be of a like you process but. this. is fortunate because and effect government we decided to suspend the house for a long period because it was a parliamentary majority against its principal policy and if that government also decided that culture to tional all the challenge by that shouldn't challenge the rights of the course to get the conservative party will be likely to get very excited can he reassured me that the supreme court judge has settled that matter find that this kind of action should never be taken by any future government and
6:32 pm
that part of interest over there for remains intact. are certainly can you serve tomorrow right on her bed frame that it is important when we reflect upon the judgments that may be seed to go against the short term interests of any particular government but based on discretion and some principles for the future and i invite all mara honorable friends to reflect on precisely the situation which my ride home or boyfriend has said typed before the house which he this would stand for governments of a comma with which my summary would not approve and for very actions true and so it is important and when we comment upon the decisions of judges we remember the barriers junkies are both impartial and independent and they are entitled to reach
6:33 pm
their view i that i have reached by we are. one of the finest judiciaries i believe in the world and it is important to remember that the principles they set apply to both sides as we ride on the magenta one. hello news the attorney general geoffrey cox there answering questions from. first of all the s.n.p. is jonah cherry one of those who brought the case against the initial case against the government but ended up in the supreme court on that judgment yesterday and lastly in front of the house kenneth clarke putting his. question to the attorney general as part of it reconvene for the 1st time the resumption of business following that judgment yesterday al-jazeera story chalons is live for us now outside the house of parliament in westminster can tell us a little bit about what we've just heard rory.
6:34 pm
well to start ways we had jumped the speaker of the house opening the proceedings and basically clarifying a matter of record he was saying that as the supreme court decision yesterday it was that probation the suspension of parliament had never happened it was unlawful that word should be expunged from the parliamentary record he said that now it should be recorded that parliament had been adjourned from the evening of that night the september 10th is when they went away that was now what it would say in the parliamentary record. then we had the 1st of these urgent questions that we're likely to today as he said to us from joanna terry the scottish national party m.p. it was involved in the legal cases that the supreme court has been hearing she was
