3:02 pm
who took the case to the court was a scottish nationalist member of parliament joanna charity here's what she said after hearing the court's ruling. it is unlawful for parliament to be suspended the highest court in scotland has ruled that it is unlawful unanimously and in in this wonderful equal union which we're told so much about which is the united kingdom then the scottish court has jurisdiction over the rest mr parliament. let's get more context on the story now with our correspondent is standing by for us in london hi prevaricate we heard there from joanna cherry she is a member of the scottish national party she was saying this is unlawful and the scottish court does have jurisdiction over the government in london what does this mean for the prime minister boris johnson well the scottish nationalists clearly digging their heels in and they are not alone day off united with other opposition parties they are basically demanding from the government to recall parliament to open the doors more or less immediately there are also numerous
3:03 pm
opposition politicians who have said if it's really true that boris johnson has misled the queen and this is the implication from this ruling in scotland then he should really resign so yet more pressure on boris johnson has so far really not been very lucky in being prime minister since he took over in july does this mean that parliament will stay on this that forced recess well we'll have to wait and see there are many politicians who really want to sit again they want to shape they want to influence the brics approaches that have meant taint all along that this is wrong for boris johnson for the government to suspend parliament now we will have to see i think probably until next week when the supreme court in london rules a numerous court cases and this is also when this this case will be at the supreme
3:04 pm
court so i would say we have to continue to watch this space but it's it's definitely a story that's going that's moving our correspondent with the latest for us in london thank you. now questions are growing about the direction of u.s. foreign policy now the president trump has fired his national security advisor john bolton had gained a reputation as a hardliner supporting regime change in north korea and iran and opposing tribes negotiations with the taliban to end the afghan conflict and the president tweeted that he disagreed strongly with bolton on many issues john bolton in happier times seated at the president's side an influential proponent of a hawkish foreign policy. but his tenure as national security adviser came to an end when trump took to twitter to announce his departure the president tweeted that he strongly disagreed with many of bolton's suggestions prompting trump to ask for
3:05 pm
his resignation bolton quickly disputed this version of events in turn tweeting that he had offered to resign of his own accord is not the 1st time trump bolton have disagreed the former adviser stood for a muscular approach to foreign relations and known hardliner he favored military intervention in iran north korea and venezuela but despite his aggressive rhetoric trump often chose diplomacy over confrontation he has met north korea's leader kim jong un and was prepared to strike a peace deal with the taliban in afghanistan bolton's departure has fueled speculation that u.s. foreign policy could mellow further but senior administration of figures cautioned against that idea. someone asked what would the policy be different absent any individual being here it is a been the president's policies but i don't think any leader around the world should make any assumption that because some one of us of hearts that president
3:06 pm
trumps foreign policy will change in a material life sanctions designed to pressure iran into concessions over its nuclear program a long time to remain in place or i would say secretary and myself and the president are completely aligned on our maximum pressure campaign i think you know we've done more sanctions on iran than anybody and it's absolutely working and you're wrong even as bolton became the son of national security adviser to serve under president trump brushed off suggestions that the national security team was in disarray absolutely not that's the most ridiculous question i've ever heard or you have cited national guard unit but bolton is unlikely to be the last official to find himself going out of the revolving door of trump's white house more on this story now with boris fama a professor of politics at bard college here in berlin or thanks for joining us here in our studio we heard the question asked there will foreign policy be any
3:07 pm
different now with john bolton out of the white house. i think it's a question that's almost answerable because there hasn't been such a thing as a trump foreign policy there's no grand vision behind it or no consistency and there's been a lot of contradiction back and forth so maybe one major change would be a return to moral leadership of the u.s. in the world but it's unlikely for this to happen what we've seen is trump has perhaps one consistency which is it's about domestic politics and he wants to appear as a strong leader and he doesn't tolerate contradiction except his own contradiction and that was something that john put me at bolton apparently did a lot of contradict the president some say that john bolton actually destroyed that the u.s. national security council system do you think that that is his legacy now live in the white house i mean you could say this but a lot of institutions and political traditions in the u.s. the democratic traditions the separation of powers the 4th estate the media attacks on the media that we've seen repeatedly it might be that right if there's
3:08 pm
a reelection perhaps there's an erosion of institutions that is irreversible at the same time perhaps trump is seen as an outlier at some point it's too early to tell really what issue do you think was the one that got in the way the most between john bolton donald trump well i think there were some overlaps between the 2 being strong militarily appearing strong in politics not negotiating trying to see international relations as a 0 sum game i think is something that both of them agreed on maybe that's also the reason why it took him and has as his 3rd national security advisor which by the way is the highest number ever for national security advisors in one presidential term but there were contradictions so trump is trying to isolate us and turn away from international relations turn towards domestic politics bolton did
3:09 pm
the opposite he was very much engaged and asking for regime change. even under george w. bush but now again under tough one trigger appears to have been these a failed peace talks that would have involved the taliban so afghanistan peace talks that would have involved the taliban possibly being invited to camp david that is something that john bolton was clearly against and in the end the president called off those talks at the last minute was that the tipping point that seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back it's hard to tell because we have diverging stories emerging on twitter as we speak so probably will never find the exact reasons why that happened but it seems like this was the last sign of in loyalty that trump couldn't bear to have to see where things go from here of course for him on a professor of politics at bard college here in berlin thanks for sharing your insights with us well after president trump called off those afghan cent piece talks the taliban vow to keep on fighting the u.s.
3:10 pm
reported an explosion near its kabul embassy overnight and across afghanistan there are fears that the failed negotiations will lead to another surge in violence especially ahead of elections at the end of this month. temblor faith the aftermath of a suicide bombing that claimed 12 lives and killed a country's hopes for peace. just days the u.s. is lead envoy was in the afghan capital to finalize a breakthrough agreement with the taliban. but not going to have their needs met months of talks unraveled their dead rise i'm concerned that that. such a members of the khan family were injured in a separate bombing just last week they survived but like many in afghanistan they're mourning the peace deal. one of his soldiers was killed and he stopped the
3:11 pm
peace process saying he doesn't care about the taliban are in a hopeless piece which doesn't happen now well because i don't know if they're victims of the taliban's ruthless bombing campaign like in the corridors of kabul hospitals these days there have been 2 attacks this month already local politicians say the talks were their best chance of protecting lives. of the majority of the casualties of the civilians without peace i don't think there would be any other way to stop fighting and prevent civilian casualties when you. can. through what remains of his home zaki can spare his anger not for the taliban but for the u.s. president who holds all the power. of our attacks happening every day with the death of one soldier trump stop the peace talks why doesn't he care about the killing of hundreds of civilians here. for those in the firing line of the
