1:30 pm
hallie evidence in the same polls which indicate that at least among labor members those pretty overwhelming support for a people's vote now you know a great labor member who would be quite happy for there to be no deal because their intention in my opinion is to turn britain into a deregulated tax haven that would be you know no foreigner from their perspective because in reality i think their main priority is representing you know the elites in society and you know we already in this country even inside the european union workers in this country were more hours every single week they were more weeks in every single year there were more years of their life before they get a pension compared to the rest of europe and then they get one of the lowest pensions in europe so it hasn't exactly worked brilliantly well for only working people in this country over the last forty years and i think that's one of the main reasons why you know the vote went the way that it did and to balance with you know some people like army corps member around sixty five percent of labor voters supported. remaining inside the european union i think the real fault lies
1:31 pm
medicines thinking about what they're going to have to do if the whole system is disrupted or you're part of the people's vote calling for another thought yes vote on the detail whatever to recently it comes up with this how encouraged were you by the conferences in both the labor conference and then the peak of those very encouraged actually so what you saw a labor conference this year is something very different from last year this year you saw those books to break that stick is everywhere you saw a lot of speeches directly against bragg's it right throughout the conference you also saw well over one hundred fifty motions from local labor parties c o p s come into conference demanding this people vote a lot of them with saying an option to remain must be in there and then this all came to a head it was it was like an down breaking with some of the. the labor leadership
1:32 pm
trying to resist it being called out on it and then rolling back and it really came to head with that care stump speech where he decided to go off script and insert those extra words which is no one is ruling out an option to remain and that really set things alight and that was the key moment from the whole conference from the conference and you could argue that labor edging towards a people's vote there simply you know seem to be on board you've got the liberals already but one of the mechanics of actually securing a parliamentary vote on a second referendum and it did do you have the numbers if you managed to get the vote right so the key thing is that the people's vote is like a backstop is like if everything goes to the wall if it's a mess then what you do so the path to a people's vote is give to rescind their fair chance to go negotiate a deal and bring that deal back brings back a deal that is rubbish as it looks now then parliament's not going to pass it and
1:33 pm
the public also don't want it or she can't get a deal will that can only go on for so long and so some point you say actually this isn't producing the goods what do we do now and then you've essentially got two things that you can do and both of those who get an extension from the commission one is let's have a general election in two new manifestos that spell out how they want to clear up the mess and another one is no let's not do the general election specifically focus on this issue about bragg said do we want to go ahead with the deal that parliament of just rejected or something like it do we want to crash out or do we want to drop the whole thing because given what we've learnt over all this time it's actually not as productive as we once thought mike in the world do you have the numbers yes i think we do i think when we get to that stage we do well i don't know if i can give you the people's vote but i certainly can present it with the alex salmond quick for appearing on the show really also thank you very much very much thank you piers you know the drill incidentally pushkin the. if all of the sceptic of course
1:34 pm
i know it was really an irish whiskey in the sky. has joined us in a few minutes for a closer look at the lineup for vital votes in both houses of parliament this autumn can the prime minister pull off an unlikely breaks a triumph over the front that there's no enthusiasm for czechs proposal finally proof hard on doing. the ability to keep inflation jamie in the bottle is about bringing so we see prices going up across the board while it's just one of them we see interest rates rising at some slicing we see the dollar eventually cracking and have a catastrophic collapse that's usually inflationary so prices across the board go up that makes that russia saudi arabia venezuela. their oil based economies they
1:35 pm
all benefit wildly from this emerging market takes a benefit of this then oil and gold gold started to perk up again but going of course would skyrocket two hundred thousand. this is crude oil. soon they need to actually physically hold it out of the ground you know well well well well well well well well well. there's a lot of money with your oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. for the issue. here maybe. they were told to you know are today. hard work well we're not used. to it and so they
1:36 pm
want to relieve their stress and how do they relieve the stress. these men move them out like these men that comfort these men that. people are very earnest up here people to raise their massive drug issues up here you have a bill you have everything else that comes along with money. welcome back it looks as if things are finally looking up for the beleaguered prime minister two weeks ago her checkers compromise it like a dead duck now to the top european officials are all saying warm words were peevishly the reporting cold water however critics within and without
1:37 pm
a party suggest that actually the only reason that checkers might not be acceptable to brussels is that it is terrible for britain when it comes to a showdown in the commons secrets of people could prove vital first this out small group of labor m.p.'s to him finally securing breaks it might just be a higher priority than toppling the prime minister secondly the d.p.p. on whose favor is the government survival depends on who have warned that their lines on breaks that are colored and blood dritte finally they simply have moved into the equation with a conference declaration that they will undoubtedly vote for a second general poor people's vote alex speaks to labor m.p. killjoy credibly today in the country with nigel david davis to keep the two bricks at flea burning then two leading democrat unionists i mean wilson m.p. and finally to the s. and p. m.p. lisa common to the toilet coming out of the labor conference in liverpool there was a bit of discussion that lead. could be edging toward supporting
1:38 pm
a people. label or moving towards people thought labor members and labor supporters or people who voted labor they don't want a second vote you know it is really i think a very very destructive move that is going to be quite. a sharp attack on democracy having told people this is a one off vote matters we're going to do what you decide if we decide to have another vote. position. frame the reception towards the compromise at least from the. brussels. position well i certainly don't have any more support for than i did at the beginning and i'm not quite sure what her compromise is and i think that's part of the whole mystique of this whole debate on both sides both labor. there is so
1:39 pm
much going on with an attempt to try and appeal to different sides that actually we've no idea really where we are in terms of what the european union are even thinking of accepting and i think we will end up with such. that. it will not be something that parliament for put through can't see the moment the checkers. position as it is at the moment being accepted in parliament so. that might move or a common. people's vote. but well of course there are some people who say look let's just get it at the end of march and then we can negotiate all these different details i don't think the union will allow. happen so i'm i think the
1:40 pm
folks that are coming out are pretty simple people either want to leave properly or they want to stay in and those people who want to stay in are going to vote for anything that gives them not a little bit of we're still a raw and we've still got the e.u. running us in some way or other and that's not would be acceptable to the seventeen million people who voted to leave it k. who finally as an independent minded liberal m.p. if you were faced with a parliamentary choice between on the one hand. a genuine. a real leaving off the european union under the other hand perhaps the government falling and a general election will be your preferred option oh i'd be very happy to you know have a general election. but i think the country probably doesn't want a general election the country won't really be people the country devotedly will not look very kindly on people who threw away this wonderful opportunity to finally get after forty years of this anti liberal anti democratic they are
1:41 pm
liberal organization thank you very much indeed thank you samuelson. a memorable phrase said the d u b of some blood red light. well the. line we have spelt the site for the very start of this process is that the united kingdom as a whole voted to leave the on the united kingdom as a whole will leave the e.u. and if there are any attempts to leave northern ireland languishing in the stifling . of brussels then we will not be voting for any deal which consists of an arrangement such as. to those a salute we've got off to choose between some sort of border between north and the others to public or some sort of border across. prime minister. i think dropped the
1:42 pm
ball to restart because she accepted that or there was a problem with the border and stead of kicking back and saying there isn't a problem there does need to be a problem we have to we can find ways of monitoring tree and across the border collecting taxes of that be collected and everything else but she she doesn't and of course that's why we're ninety and possibly our foster met michelle obama this week in brussels you famously as if you managed to extract a deal from dynasty is there anything miss your badly could say to you to do a deal with brussels i think the difficulty with. michel barnier as michel barnier non-o. he's got the the u.k. on the run i mean he has seen the u.k. government to be a soft touch and he is not going to he will continue. as long as we keep compromising and you look at many times the government has moved its negotiating position to accommodate the demands of europe and it's impossible then to do a deal with someone when you show such weakness on me i think that the prime
1:43 pm
minister has at this stage and i got to consider does she take her heels and does she even tear back some of the compromises he's already offered to the e.u. and say ok what we're going to fight a fight that's nine and you'll get the sort of i mean not in march you will finish up paying the consequences the german carmakers will pay the consequences france's french winemakers will pay the consequences the irish economy will pay the consequences because it will lose its meaning market in the g.d.p. and g.d.p. night were were up for a fight of their b. if you are famous for the negotiating strength it would just say to people is it lou when this comes to the crunch in the house of commons you are faced with either to these amazed or perhaps jeremy carbon as the next prime minister then you're not going to risk a jet of a carbon government to say people say well you've got your own problems we will not be beaten and to accept our compromise which you really. wave a step or
1:44 pm
a mental two are part of the united kingdom and tonight kings of hope and finally samuelson as a something that the prime minister three survey could say to you know which would gather your support in the lobbies no i think it's all a case of what you say it's a case of what is contained in the day and we have been saying to the prime minister saying to the government let us see what the text is if you're going to agree with the once we say that then we will make our judgment that you know we have given very clear guidance and don't forget we entered into this arrangement with the government in order to help deliver brac something that would not have got as far as what it's got a present not been for to you people because fifty percent of the votes on that legislation depended upon do you support without our support the amendments would have been made to the legislation which would in effect have killed. so so far we have delivered what we will deliver on what we promised on the agreement that we entered into with the government and not delivering something different strong
1:45 pm
words somewhere else and thank you very much. and i'm back in the studio i'm delighted to be joined by lisa callum the s.n.p. m.p. for stephen and les behavior welcome to the alex salmond surely sir thank you very much but is there anything the reason the can deliver the details of a black's deal that would persuade the s.n.p. benches to give us some support. well if you're able to combine from the e.u. with a deal accepted to fill access to the single market and customs union then that might be a situation that could be agreeable that seems to be something she's not going to do and certainly her m.p.'s are not looking far in south the s.n.p. conference in glasgow earlier this week there was a shift in position towards supporting the people's vote as it's called how significant could that be the back could be significant because if labor on the conservatives divisions and terms of the type of picks that they would like to see then perhaps
1:46 pm
a big sit deal can't be agreed through parliament then it goes back to the people to decide what should happen but those in the party who previously had suggested look this is a dangerous precedent for the s.n.p. because it might mean the has to be on the farm a bit of a second referendum if there's another scottish referendum on independence. but at the same time i'm looking for a second referendum on independence so you have to look at both sides of that coin and that's my keen for the future so having a second referendum when there is. i think a distinct change in circumstance is the platform for that and that was set a precedent surely when do you think the smarter will public to absolute decision is it not until january that the absolute dead lying comes don't want to resume a huss to get the commons biking or she's finished as prime minister well that's very possible i think that the negotiations will go down to the last moment and i
1:47 pm
imagine that those will be tough negotiations yesterday was the prime minister's questions i believe but the school after the party conference season what was your sense of the mood of course the parliamentary chair but there is a definite sense of there being a lack of direction in terms of the government and its position on bracks and of course there's also a lot. so there's a feeling of confusion perhaps amongst. anticipation for the come on neither of us can forecast the future but i can say for definite as i'm delighted to present you with the alex salmond quick for appearing on the show thank you so much i don't have to tell you the true. you know full well the the uses to which a quid can be put yes thank you so much for giving this to me and i appreciate it with friends in the future thank you lisa thank you well we've just been through a conference season where both the main westminster parties will be reasonably
1:48 pm
satisfied that under pressure leaders will seem to perform better than their detractors hope and a lot better the visors feared jeremy corbin sees the glimmer of the prize of a general election to these amazing is the glimmer of an opportunity that her whole of two frameless checkers compromise might last be a practical support if only as the least worst option everybody's thought choice meanwhile the s.n.p. must be boiled by the huge numbers coming out to demand independence on the streets of scotland's capital the grassroots groups are certainly mobilized don't even do a greater degree than in twenty four. as we've seen from kate hoey and sammy wilson the prime minister is not potential swing support among other parties for that position however neither case could not support be taken for granted and then neither case this it seemed to be for the prime minister's present position. all of which means that this autumn we'll see some knife edge votes in the house of commons the prime minister stephen they hope they'll all be over by christmas but
1:49 pm
on the other hand it's difficult to see how the checkers plan which few really understand and even if you really support compulsively prevail what is more sap will be back next week and so if it does mean i mean all of the shorts good bye for now. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the
1:50 pm
right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying is just no really hasn't been that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished recently just to get pellet here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. it's easy to find an enemy where there's a fault and where there. bangs much more difficulties explaining how things are why. once you start telling people look you my hate the banks but where do you put
1:51 pm
your money. you put them in the bank and what happens if the bank goes under don't see your money anymore these kind of reasonings will be march motto for to make people understand a video dynamics that is why people lock on consequences of price is that of post nobody wants. to know. why even. in film plan there is a trade in young girls sold into an underground sex in the street sometimes by the people they trust the most. and.
1:52 pm
the soyuz rocket failure forces a too man. to abort that launch just a few minutes after takeoff. i.
1:53 pm
