and that is because of the vital link between every single member of this house and the communities, divert military funds to pay the commons that we represent. for the construction that is the bedrock of the president's long—promised border wall with mexico. donald trump had tried to declare a national emergency to fund the wall after failing to persuade congress. he called the ruling a big success. of our parliamentary the us and guatemala have signed a migration agreement, days after us president donald trump threatened the central american country with tariffs. under the deal, migrants democracy and of our liberty. from honduras and el salvador who pass through guatemala would be and each one of us, where ever required to stop and seek we sit, whatever we stand for, asylum there first. the united nations has accused can take pride in that. and that duty to serve my the world of turning its back constituents will remain my on the war in syria. greatest motivation. airstrikes there have killed more than 100 people in the last 10 days. the un says the syrian government may be directly targetting civilians. a lot of people made mention of mrs may's public service, and that she has been in the house since 1997. now on bbc news, a look back

and i think on that occasion, at the week in parliament a wee bit of generosity might with alicia macarthy. have been appropriate. i'm not criticising the front bench, they have a political statement to make, but ijust think a few of us, you know, further back from the leaders of power, we could actually have said, yes, you've not been the most successful prime minister, perhaps you are probably up there with bonar law, when it comes to the success gradient, but on the other hand, hello and welcome to you are leaving, let's at least show a little bit of respect. the week in parliament, as theresa may bows out at her final tory grant shapps agrees. ijust thought, you know, pmqs and prepares to return to the backbenches. that duty to serve my constituents the other way around, will remain my greatest motivation. boris johnson takes when it was blair going, the tory benches stood up, i thought it was a lopsided over at number ten — atmosphere from that point of view. in the end, you are saying thank with a vow to quit the eu on october you for somebody's public service, the 31st even if that means not for the policies. leaving without a deal. and i thought that was wrong. compare that to tony blair?s we must turbo—charge our final pmqs in 2007. preparations to make sure and that is the end. that there is as little disruption so how did theresa may as possible to our national life, versusjeremy corbyn compare to the age of blair and hague? and i believe that is possible. it was a class act. butjeremy corbyn says it won't be william hague spotted very early on that tony blair had the reckless backers an alphabetical list of subject of no deal who lose out. headings and it will ring binders, and so he would ask the first question about azerbaijan, and then switch to zoroastrianism or something like that, and it was a masterclass, in many ways.

so does this veteran mp have any advice for the new pm? boris johnson roams wild and free, he is an untamed beast on the serengeti plains, he says he has pluck, i mean, you cannot cage him. nerve and ambition. so, look out for some fireworks, our country does not need arm—waving bluster. look out for some fun, it was all change for but ultimately, look out the government, the cabinet for a complete lack of dignity and maybe the country too. from the front bench on tuesday, a litte before from the dispatch box. midday, borisjohnson boris johnson's default position was announced as the new leader of the conservative party is wing it and make them laugh, and prime minister elect. and he'll say, "ba—ba—ba—ba, i am completely and briefed, i'm totally unspun, boris, what you see is what you get. ba—ba—ba." in the ballot of conservative party members, mrjohnson won more than 92,000 votes, he accused mrjohnson jeremy hunt a little over 16,500. of throwing together in his victory speech, mrjohnson a hard right cabinet and said he was deeply alarmed. promised he would deliver brexit, if the prime minister unite the country and defeatjeremy has confidence in his plan once he has decided corbyn. what it is he should and he repeated his pledge to get go back to the people with that plan. the uk out of the eu labour will oppose any deal that on october the 31st. fails to protectjobs. the next day, theresa may we will oppose any carried out her last deal that fails to prime ministerial duty — protect jobs, workers‘ rights, a final, farewell appearance or environmental protections. at prime minister's questions. well, for theresa may, once that last pmqs was over, it was back to downing street for a final appearance outside number ten alongside her husband philip. she said to serve as prime minister was the greatest honour and wished her successor every good fortune. given that her successor has no she also thanked the british mandate from the people, no mandate in which to move

into office, doesn't she agree the best thing the right honourable memberfor uxbridge could do later people and her husband — on today, when he takes office, is to call a general election and let the people decide theirfuture? describing him as her greatest supporter and closest companion. theresa may reflected and then it was off that she and mr corbyn were very to buckingham palace to formally hand her resignation to the queen. different politicans. and within the hour it the was the turn of borisjohnson — the incoming pm — to make the same journey. though his trip was disrupted by environmental protestors who stepped into the road demanding he take action on climate change. i have spent all but one of my years arriving in downing street, in this house on the front bench mrjohnson said the doubters and doomsters were gong to get it trying to implement the policies wrong — and pledged to restore i believe in. he has spent most of his time trust in democracy — on the backbenches campaigning recommiting to come out of the eu for what he believes in, often against his own party. on october the 31st. 0nce through the door but what i think we both have mrjohnson got down to work with a huge cabinet reshuffle, that saw more than half of in common is a commitment mrs may's cabinet quit or be sacked. the big surprises the departure to our constituencies. of the defence secretary, penny mordaunt and the exit of the foreign secretary but perhaps i could finish my and mrjohnson‘s leadership exchange with him by saying this — as a party leader who has accepted when her time was up, perhaps the time is now for him to do the same. rivaljeremy hunt.

a former labour backbencher agreed with those comments onjeremy corbyn. about his need to among their replacements committed brexiteers including priti patel as home secretary and dominic raab as foreign secretary and the reappearance of michael gove as the man charged with driving through no deal preparation. thatjob done it was time consider his future. for mrjohnson to make his first appearance in the commons as prime minister and set out his plan for government — unsurprisingly dominated by brexit. he said the first step was to restore trust in democracy. the uk is better prepared for that situation than many believe, and can i tell her this as well? but we are not as ready yet hold on, hold on. as we should be. can i tell her this as well? in the 98 days that remain to us, it is absolutely clear to me we must turbo—charge our that the vast majority of labour preparations to make sure mps agree with her too. there is as little disruption mr speaker, the prime minister elect as possible to our national life. and i believe that is possible has no mandate in scotland, he has no mandate from the people, with the kind of national effort that the british people have laid the government he is busy forming has no mandate in scotland. before and will make again. mr speaker, scotland i have today instructed deserves better. the chancellor of the duchy i think the prime minister of lancaster to make these preparations his top priority. is a thoroughly good egg and has i have asked the cabinet secretary been an absolute privilege to serve to mobilise the civil service on the backbenches with her. to deliver this outcome, mr speaker, this prime minister's should it become necessary. commitment to mental health has and the chancellor has confirmed been simply fantastic. that all necessary funding ijoin others in thanking will be laid available. the prime minister for her years of public service as home secretary and as prime minister,

and that thoroughly decent and dedicated honourable way she has carried out all of her duties, and the very courteous and proper way that she has had in her dealings with us as a party. he repeated guarantees to eu nationals in the uk that they would continue 0utgoing american presidents get to pardon anybody they want. to have the right to work here if she could, would she pardon her and he moved on to wider promises, successor for sabotaging cutting nhs waiting times, her premiership purely increase school funding, begin a points—based immigration system and recruit 20,000 more police officers. and he predicted a new for his own personal ambition? golden age for the uk. mrs may said her successor too many people in this country feel would continue to deliver they have been told repeatedly conservative policies that had improved people's lives. and relentlessly what we cannot do. the newly elected liberal democrat since i was a child, leader wondered what advice she had. i remember respectable authorities for women across the country, asserting that our time as a nation on how to deal with those men has passed, that we should be who think they could do a betterjob but are not prepared content with mediocrity to do the actual work? and managed decline. prime minister. i think my advice to all women and time and again, is to be true to yourself, persevere, keep going, be true to the vision by time and again, these you are working for. the last question went are the sceptics and doubters. to the longest continuously

serving female mp, known as the mother time and again, time of the house, harriet harman. and again by their powers even her harshest critics must recognise her integrity, to innovate and adapt, her commitment to public service, her dedication to this country, the british people have and those are qualities that none of us should ever take for granted. shown the doubters wrong. but can ijust offer her a word of sisterly advice? sometimes you just have to be a bit no one underestimates this country more careful when a man wants to hold your hand. but the country is... i thank her for her service but the country is deeply worried as our prime minister, and i sincerely wish all the very best the future. that the new prime minister we are, as the right honourable lady has said, living through extraordinary overestimates himself. political times. 00:06:30,701 --> 2147483051:40:00,065 this house of commons is rightly 2147483051:40:00,065 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 at the centre of those events, he accused mrjohnson of throwing together a hard right cabinet and said he was deeply alarmed to see no plans fabric said. if the prime minister has confidence in its plan once he has decided what it is, he should go back to the people with that plan. labour will oppose any deal that fails to protectjobs... we will oppose any deal that fails to protectjobs, workers' rights, or environmental protections. and if he has the confidence to put that decision back to the people, we would, in those circumstances campaign to remain. he says he has pluck, nerve, and ambition.

our country does not need arm waving bluster. he speaks about trust in our democracy, mr speaker, —— he says he has pluck, nerve, and ambition. our country does not need arm waving bluster. he speaks about trust in our democracy, mr speaker, and i have to say the most extraordinary thing has just happened today. there anybody notice what happened today? did anybody notice the terrible metamorphosis that took place, like the final scene of invasion of the body snatchers? at last, this long—standing eurosceptic, the right honourable gentleman, has been captured, he has been judged related, reprogrammed by his honourable friends, he has been turned

now into a remainer. i should welcome the prime minister to his place, the last prime minister of the united kingdom. let me warn the prime minister now, try to take scotland, try to take the united kingdom out of the european union, on a no deal basis, we will stop the prime minister from doing so. this house will stop the prime minister. we will not let the prime minister do untold damage to the jobs and constituents of our country. i welcome his positivity and

optimism, that is what this country needs, would he agree that the union comes first and we need to deliver brexit with a deal? but we must be prepared for no deal if necessary? but others were not convinced. yesterday the taoiseach said that any suggestion that a new negotiation could happen in weeks or months was not in the real world. if he is right and as a consequence the house of commons votes in the autumn against leaving the european union on the slst of october without an agreement, what will the prime minister's policy be then? i thank you, mr speaker. i think what the right honourable gentleman has said is redolent of the kind of defeatism and negativity that we have had for the last three years. if the prime minister fails

to secure some magical, mythical new deal with the european union, will he promise now at the dispatch box that the matter will return to this sovereign parliament so that we can decide what happens next before october 31? parliament has already voted several times to honour that mandate of the people, to come out of the eu, and that is what we should do. i think that out on the lady herself voted to trigger article 50. the new prime minister, borisjohnson. he was not the only new party leader of the week. stephen pound there. 0n mondayjo swinson won the liberal democrat leadership race, becoming the party's first female leader. she saw off a challenge from former cabinet minister, sir ed davey. jo swinson became the youngest member of the house of commons when she was elected in 2005 at the age of 25. she lost her seat in 2015, but returned just two years later.

jo swinson focused her campaign on tackling climate change, backing a further brexit referendum and ruling out a deal with jeremy corbyn. now let's take a look at what's been happening in the wider world of politics, here's maia bondeach with our countdown. at five, order, order. no phones in the committee room, mrjavid. sorry. border force. was it border force or was the new boss calling with a job offer? at four, trump gives boris the thumbs up as prime minister. you have a really good man who is going to be the prime minister of the uk now, borisjohnson. people are saying that's a good thing that they like me. his daughter eve anchorjumped on the bandwagon and also congratulated johnson on becoming the next prime minister of the united kingston. while we couldn't pinpoint the place on the map, this kingston land sure does sound magical.

at three, it was theresa may's last week as prime minister and her final pmqs was when she decided to spell out a few secrets. i believe he was once the bodyguard to the legendary holyrood actress lauren bacall. at two, as boris arrived in number ten he was greeted not only by larry the cat but also by hundreds of protesters on downing street. welcome prime minister. at one, with all the chaos unfolding, what was the former prime minister doing? theresa may and a couple of freshly departed cabinet colleagues were enjoying the cricket at lord's. she is out. lbw. let boris worry. maia bondeach there, with her look at the political week. now, let's go back to boris johnson's arrival at number ten.

he's made clear he wants the uk to leave the eu on october the 31st and shaped a cabinet that's willing to back no deal. so, what can we expect when mps return from their summer break? i asked professor meg russell from the constitution unit at ucl if borisjohnson‘s biggest challenge was his effective lack of a parliamentary majority? what he has done is construct a cabinet from the kind of most pro—brexit wing of the party and alienate people who are more towards the centre ground. while it was quite hard and theresa may for the erg, for the pro brexit group

and her party to join up with labour, gang up on theresa may, it is much easier for the centrist conservatives to gang up with labour against the pro brexit wing of the conservative party. in some ways i think his position is much more difficult than theresa may's was. 0k. so you don't think that he is going to be able to unite his party. is he going to be able to appeal to any labour mps in leave voting constituencies? i think if anything it will be more difficult because theresa may was trying to govern from the centre. we could reflect on theresa may on what we got wrong, lots of people say, i would go along with this, that she should have opened up discussions with people on the labour side in a more kind of clear and definitive way at an earlier stage and try to get some kind of cross party agreement rather than trying perhaps as she did, to pick off one or two backbenchers to support her deal. talks with jeremy corbyn started extremely late. but essentially to spite that theresa may was kind of governing broadly from the political centre and trying to get people from that labour site to get her deal across the line. you don't think is going to be able to unite his party, you don't think is going to be able

to pick up many labour mps. where are we with no deal — in your view how likely is that looking now? of course we have had lots of arguments over that in recent weeks with mps making it clear, i mean that a0 a week or so ago, northern ireland bill, it was pretty extraordinary, we you saw members of theresa may's cabinet abstaining in the vote, a defeat, before boris johnson had even taken over. there are various things being mooted. one is to use an emergency debate and standing order 2a to try to get a vote on no deal. that is a bit controversial because normally you don't have thoughts of substance on those kinds of motion but the suggestion is that the speaker might allow it in these circumstances, that is one thing. then, ultimately, the ultimate threat, if all else fails as a vote of no confidence in the government. and we are getting the impression that there are mps even on the conservative side who would be willing to back that. indeed.

there have been some pretty strong signals including from people as a senior as the former chancellor philip hammond. quite a number of conservative mps, rory stewart, ken clarke, dominic grieve, there are actually quite a lot of people you could name. it may be that we'll hear more of those names over the summer. at the moment parliament is only scheduled to sit for something likejust over 20 days between now and x a day on october 31. is that they help are a hindrance to borisjohnson and do you think that is even what end up? i think he initially will be trying to use that to his advantage. i think it is a pretty extraordinary state of affairs where you have a new prime minister appointed one afternoon and parliament breaking up for its long summer recess the following day. that in itself might be extraordinary. but in the middle of a political

crisis on this huge question of brexit, and with the clock ticking to october. borisjohnson go to brussels, perhaps even replacing him with someone as well. next at the moment parliament is only scheduled to sit there may be calls for a recall. which then raises the question how do you get a recall? the short answer as it is in the hands of the prime minister. the slightly longer answer is there are things that mps can do to try and force that. they can request publicly, they can write to him, and that the extreme, which i think would be quite interesting, rory stewart, when he was a candidate for the conservative leadership, suggested that there could even be an alternative parliament called across the road. he was saying that in the context of possible prorogation but i think that is a possibility if there is huge call to recall

and borisjohnson refuses, mps could get together and meet in an unofficial venue. that nearly happened when there were difficulties over iraq in 2002 under tony blair. we shall wait and see. professor meg russell, thank you much indeed. professor meg russell. finally, there are dozens of new ministers who can look forward to spending the summer getting to grips with their newjobs. but it was in at the deep end for the new leader of the commons, jacob rees—mogg, who made his debut just hours after being appointed. and faced business questions veteran pete wishart. he is the fifth leader of the house that i have had but he is by far the most exotic so far. it would be as well to point out he is leader of the house of commons, not the house of plantagenet, or the house of tudor. i may be the fifth leader of the house and the honourable gentleman has taken its place but it seems that his question is the same regardless.

so it does not make any difference with leader of the should be. i would point out that the house of commons predates the house of tudor, it started in 1265. house of tudor of a seat begins with henry vii. and there is a hint of the new government's policy on brexit. when will we have a chance to vote on the trade bill and the customs union? why on earth would anybody want to do that? jacob rees mogg. and that's it from us for now and for the summer — we'll be back with you when parliament returns at the start of september. but for now from me, goodbye.

hello. we've made it to the end of what has been an extraordinary week of weather. initially it looked like we had not broken the uk's all—time temperature record, but in the last 2a hours some new information has come to light, a temperature reading from cambridge university botanic garden of 38.7 degrees on thursday afternoon. this still needs to be verified, it needs to be checked by the met office, that will happen in the coming days and weeks, but if that temperature stands, that will be a new uk record. but, and i am sure many people will welcome this, a very different feel this weekend. much cooler weather with some heavy rain in places, that rain could be enough to cause some disruption, because we have this slow—moving weather front draped across the british isles, bringing some rain across the eastern side of the uk on saturday morning, quite a muggy feel, some mist and murk as well, those temperatures as we start the day between 14—17, not quite as warm as it has been on recent mornings. as we go through the day this band

of cloud and rain really making very little progress, wet weather across the south—east into east anglia, the midlands, parts of northern england and up into scotland, the rain heavy and persistent, perhaps enough to cause localised flooding, certainly the chance of some travel disruption. to north—eastern scotland, northern ireland, wales and the south—west, either side of that system, it will likely stay dry, with some spells of sunshine, temperatures 18—23. on saturday night the front will pivot and move westwards to some extent, but there is uncertainty about exactly how far west that front will get, it could well introduce some rain into northern ireland, but some uncertainty about that, and it is going to be a somewhat fresher night, by no means chilly, but 12—15, a little more comfortable for sleeping. during sunday our weather front still wriggling around, still sitting in place, rain perhaps into northern ireland, some hanging around south—west scotland and some rain dangling down into northern england, the midlands, a few showers in the south—east. but again either side of the front, the north—east and the south—west, we see a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine and the temperature is still in the 20s. as we go into monday, our old weather front still probably sitting across the northern half

of the uk, that will allow some showers to develop and late in the day, an area of low pressure is likely to throw some rain towards the far south—west of england. elsewhere some sunny spells, a little warmer down to the south but still nothing like it has been. an unsettled start then to next week, it settles down and warms up towards the end of the week, but no return to the heat.

hello and welcome to bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. the us supreme court has cleared the way for the us president to build sections of his promised border wall with mexico, using pentagon funds. the supreme courtjustices narrowly voted to allow the trump administration to access $2.5 billion from the military budget to strengthen existing barriers in border states. president trump was quick to declare the ruling a ‘big victory‘ on twitter. chris buckler in washington has more.
