2:33 am
suspension to push through a new deal breaks it can parliament stop him before he stops parliament i'm bored golf in berlin this is the day. you have an opportunity to see legislation when they come back next week the problem is that window of opportunity is very very short so there can be plenty of time to debate baseball and even legislate about leaving your opinion the prime minister of college for a parliament he's using it's unconstitutional and illegal to talk about a new deal is actually code for saying let's still practices what is happening is the normal cultural pressures we were trying to achieve any moment a dictator and sometimes not but. also coming up
2:34 am
a u.s. president but once the military to expand beyond earth's gravity with a new space force a major step in that direction takes place today on the ground. you know as the united states space command for the sake of our security both here on earth and in the heavens above president tranced direction we are working with congress as we speak to stand up a new branch of our armed forces. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the battle over breaks it about to begin members of parliament are vowing to use next week to pass legislation to stop the country from crashing out of the european union on october 31st next week may be the only time they have yesterday prime minister boris johnson announce that he will suspend parliament for 5 weeks ending just before breaks it is scheduled to begin opposition in some conservative lawmakers call the move an abuse of power designed to prevent parliament from
2:35 am
preventing a new deal breaks it next week m.p.'s could trying to pass legislation requiring another break that extension there is also talk of a no confidence vote to bring down the prime minister and his government to allow a general election now none of this has a guaranteed outcome what is certain tonight is that online an online petition demanding that parliament debate its own suspension it now has more than 1500000 signatures anough requiring westminster to act protests against the suspension of parliament they are planned for the weekend they are expected to be bigger than the spontaneous protests we saw yesterday. he said. we'll get boris johnson and help him to and will preside waddled into the engines to prevent pong exercisers to come to wrongs it is really time that's why bush also drove home and so that we tried to do not the time to. put is just enough
2:36 am
if peace to take that responsibility seriously i'm supposed to as well but is good and for more on the legal aspects of. this i'm joined tonight by dr joe will grow a senior lecturer in law at middlesex university for the program is going to have you on the show let's let's talk about time is the clock working against parliament now does parliament have only next week to stop its own suspension very simply yes so let's start with the legal facts on the 31st of october 29th seen unless something else happens and that something else has to be legislation from the british parliament the u.k. will withdraw without a deal that's no deal breaks it on the 31st photo over the parliament in order to avoid the situation has to legislate to do so but with this use of what is otherwise an ordinary power there's
2:37 am
a correctness in saying it's an ordinary power but fully using it to give 5 weeks of suspension 5 weeks for that debate 5 weeks without any means of creating that legislation and avoiding any kind of no deal frank said we're facing to a very simple question of there is little or no time so this is a very important points to think about that for days that was just mentioned that the parliament will resume it'll come back from its summer holidays summer recess and the start of a temper and it will probably be a program on the 10th of september those few days are the very end of this parliamentary session any legislation which has not reached through both house of commons and house of lords and become law by that date is that it will not continue into next session but now the important and you will it is if i could be directed towards they were saying next week then parliament that's the only time it has to start the suspension but we're talking about a full week and correct me if i'm wrong but i mean the mother of all parliaments
2:38 am
certainly can come up with legislation in a week to prevent its own suspension right. so we're going to be looking at is what's called standing order $24.00 it's bringing emergency debates bring emergency legislation now the problem and this is a problem that we face in the u.k. for essentially almost 3 years is consensus you can absolutely bring legislation but only if you have a majority in both the house comments and that has a lloyds now what opposition are going to be facing with for those few days is potentially filibustering and that's the house of commons and house of lords just done down that clock so that legislation will die in the house of commons or the house of lords at the point that parliament is suspended there's such little time we might see one of my favorite times parliamentary ping-pong where piece of legislation is going to bat very quickly between the 2 house is but again that is
2:39 am
very little parliamentary time to get such important legislation through well. so if that is the case then. in your esteemed opinion is anything going to happen next we can stop this is mention or they can stop you know do breaks it. so right now we're discussing the 3 different legal ways in which program the suspension this stuff being a part of this stopping of debate can happen the 1st is the courts the courts actually we have 3 challenges going on right now one of which is being spearheaded by jim miller but this is going to be a big constitutional question in and of itself because this power to prorogue is actually of royal power it's something that's exercised by the queen upon advice of the government upon advice of the prime minister we could have actually seen a constitutional crisis yesterday in the u.k. had the queen it refused the advice of governments now what gina miller and all the
2:40 am
other litigants in these cases are going to try and do is challenge that advice say that that given by government to the queen was illegal that it was an unlawful use it was an abuse of a power of government we're also potentially and this is why the opposition are going we're going to try and see legislation legislation try to focus on of voiding and no deal breaks that now in order to avoid a no jail break that it's not to say we vote against the new deal breakers that you have to vote for an alternative you need legislation for an alternative and more than that and this is where time comes and again if you want either an agreement with the e.u. the e.u. with joint agreements you'll need a qualified majority of the european council to meet and i agree with you you need legislation saying we want it well it's got agreement at the european council and the last european council meeting before brags that it's on the 17th and 18th of october now part comes back on the 14th but it's going to spend the 1st 5 days
2:41 am
talking about the queen's each year not necessarily about it was just and this is i mean is that what it all sounds very bleak dr grogan let me ask you about this suggestion that was made today there is what's known as a humble address to the queen where parliament can pass a motion asking the queen to stop this program this purgation why not do that she gives the solver. this this comes back to the crew are essential this is why we're talking about such fundamental questions of the u.k. constitution the queen politico in fact the queen is an institution monarchies an institution in the u.k. has not been political in hundreds of years the last time the queen a queen it was queen victoria stepped in and change the prime minister it caused a crisis now your rights absolutely correct in saying that the prime minister the government are appointed by the queen do not vote and by people there pointed by
2:42 am
the queen and a humble address in my humble opinion will bring the queen into such extreme political and almost a crisis situation forcing in a political body to make one of the most important political decisions certainly in a century dr 0 gergen senior lecturer in law at middlesex university laying out tonight tell the clock is definitely working against westminster tonight dr we appreciate your insights thank you. for you know they really want to kick you out when they are willing to get into bed politically with people they have despised for years well that could be going through the mind of italy's far right interior minister salvini tonight 2 former political rivals the anti establishment 5 star movement and the center left democratic party well they're now attempting to join forces to create
2:43 am
a new coalition government and to avoid a new election but what is really forcing these photos to become friends is their desire to leave my bails of being the elder of politics and out in the cold. he exudes call but just said that conti has been on a wild ride 3 weeks ago he lost his job as prime minister when italy's governing coalition fell apart now he's been tasked with putting together a new government. the country is in a very delicate phase we must put the political uncertainty triggered by the government crisis behind us as soon as possible we're facing critical economic problems. but i think the winner could be. the new coalition partners the antiestablishment 5 star movement and the center left democratic party make strange bedfellows many italians don't see the marriage lasting long. and so. to get the more i think this agreement is
2:44 am
a bad thing you know like them because they have hated each other for a long time and now they are forging an alliance so i really don't think it's a clever thing. and also most of them being the not very sure because i don't think they will last long. because the differences are obvious and i think there are huge differences in the political programs of the 2 parties. the clear loser so far is far right league party leader matteo so vini he pulled the plug on the last coalition by removing his party's participation he was widely seen to be angling for new elections but the new coalition puts a vote off for now the main picking up i would those who are afraid of elections can run away for a month 6 months or a year. but not forever. the only thing that unites them is their hatred of the leak know your. the drama is likely to settle down in the coming days
2:45 am
conte said the new government's most urgent task is to come up with a budget for the coming year. and joining me now from rome is journalist seem a good person is good to see you what are the situation in italy right now i mean we've seen multiple failed attempts in recent years to form a stable italian government is this going to be the magic combination. i think that's the question everybody's wondering i mean at some stage 14 months ago when we saw on the 5 star movement getting together with the far right party everybody thought well at least these 2 are populist parties so perhaps the last we've seen that fall apart and now it's anybody's guess as to how long this coalition will last in terms of the government but for the moment you've got day and then he has the mandate now to form this government yes to put together who's going to be
2:46 am
hitting the different ministries both parties are going to be jockeying for positions on top of that they've got to come up with a particular program to which they will have to put this new government to a vote of confidence in both houses of parliament for the moment however we've seen a positive reaction as far as the markets are concerned on thursday when some of the bond yields fall to one quite a wreck on lol so clearly the markets believe that this grouping is at least more positive towards the european union as the perhaps the last one yeah that's a positive sign for sure and what about the interior minister matteo selvi i mean if it's almost like it's a machiavellian move that he made right bringing down this government surely he didn't think that he was going to end up being out of the next government but that's what is apparently going to happen has he been completely pushed out of politics with this. well not completely pushed out but definitely pushed out of
2:47 am
government and then as you said a gross miscalculation on his part now he has actually referred to what's happening now is a test of democracy and he believes that the italians have been stolen off their right to an election in order to decide who can leave now and he believes that this government in his words was appointed by brussels appointed by the big powers within europe by france and germany and not by talents themselves for the moment though the president said there are a lot had the right to find a new prime minister and to give him the mandate in order to continue and that's why he's seen infante hoping that they will go forward and the priority be the budget for 2020 but mr salvini is not going to go quietly into the night he said you cannot get rid of this boss in this part of the supporters to gather together and call for a deal process on october 19th and let you go outside of italy are saying that this.
