house of commons. but an address to parliament isn't just at the discretion of mr bercow. alent also has a say. and lord fowler said that he wasn't consulted. yesterday mr bercow made it clear that he was opposed to the president speaking. i can say that i wasn't consulted on that decision. although john bercow received rapturous applause from the opposition benches, some on the government side, not always great fans of the speaker, weren't so happy. so was the speaker wrong to express a view shared by many mps and members of the public? there's nothing wrong with that if you're the prime minister, possibly even if you're the monarchy, you know, that is what the leaders of the country are there to do. he's not the leader of the country, though, hisjob is to be a very independent arbiter of proceedings in the house of commons. and the speaker was taken to task by certain sections of the press. so he's been a very good speaker certainly for backbenchers, for journalists too, regularly, almost every day, certainly once or twice a week he will call a minister to the house of lo

here, the speaker of the house of commons has been pretty outspoken in declaring his opposition to the president being given the honour of addressing both houses of parliamentbacked, not just in the white house but in terms of wider public opinion in america? —— have any impact. of wider public opinion in america? -- have any impact. ithink of wider public opinion in america? -- have any impact. i think many people will see this as, um, a slap in the face for those who do support donald trump, they will potentially say, we do not see why he should go is bigger anyway. it will be seen as an embarrassment by some, potentially even donald trump. a lot of foreign leaders have already commented, some discreetly is and some not so much, about how mr trump is not so used to the diplomatic way of dealing with foreign leaders, not so used to diplomatic subtleties and niceties. we had a very testy relationship or conversation, rather, with the australian prime minister. there is no reaction yet on the white house about this specific, but i suspect that people who support donald trump will see it very differently than those who oppose him. democrats will probably say

theresa may might have got this through the houses of parliament, yet to get it through the house of the much tougher negotiations will be when she starts those talks, the divorce negotiations, with the other member states. that will be much harder than winning here, will it not? absolutely, but this is key to the success of brexit. i passionately want brexit because i wa nt passionately want brexit because i want a liberal country and a liberal brexit, so we have to avoid the grandstanding, the political posturing, the nativist instincts, and we have to offer a generous deal to the eu that works for us and for them. it has to be based on reciprocal respect, but i think we can do this and do it in a way that works for us and works for them. let's not go down the tabloid headline sensationalist route of having a dig at them. let's give theresa may the space she needs to come up with a generous offer, and i think ina come up with a generous offer, and i think in a few months' time we will see some great stuff. you mentioned it passed with a generous majority and that is the case but ma

here in the uk, the upper house of parliament, the house of lords, is debating the legislation that willthe uk's withdrawal from the eu. the government does not have a majority in the upper chamber, and there are many peers who oppose britain's withdrawal. a record 187 peers have registered to speak over the two days of debate. so this bill is the legal means by which to give the prime minister power to commence withdrawal negotiations and nothing more. my lords, this bill is not the place to try and shake the terms of our exit, restrict the government's hand before it enters into complex negotiations, or attempt to rerun the referendum. this bill is the beginning of a process and a discussion we will be having in this house and the other place for years to come. "brexit means brexit" was perhaps the most unwise of statements following the referendum. it just served to highlight that void. but, my lords, until the two years of negotiation have ended, and until the pompously and hopelessly inaccurately named great repeal bill and consequently gestation has been completed, none of us know

john bercow, the speaker of the house of commons, says, we will not allow him to speak or address mps in the houses of parliament he have that power? as i understand john doco is supposed to be political in ——john bercow is supposed to be politically independent and it seems there are certain key holders of westminster hall, one of the places the president might address parliament. this is a political minefield for theresa may and the british and indeed the queen. you just have to question how this intervention will play. john bercow is no stranger to controversy. so it is very interesting. i like that, we will remember that. what have we got? 1.5 minutes. bermuda. what do you make of this? this is where people go to pay... go on holiday! that's right. the rich people leave their money there and the less rich people go on holiday there, if they can afford it. they say the uk is being hypocritical? that's right and turning a blind eye to these tax havens. in fact, turning a blind eye to these tax havens. infact, bermuda hasjust become the head of the uk's overseas territories and it's a famous harbour of insuranc

the house of lords to really make any changes in the upper chamber, and what that means is, well, despite not wanting this whole issue of article 50 two have been debated in the houses of parliamentmay will have cleared this quite comfortably and then she will of course have to go onto the much bigger difficulties that are going to be negotiating with eu leaders from the other 27 states. the tougher work is to come. the important thing we will be watching tonight is what happens to labour. as unusually jeremy corbyn tonight is what happens to labour. as unusuallyjeremy corbyn is supporting the government in voting to have article 50 triggered. but we know that three shadow cabinet members have already resigned saying they cannot vote for article 50 to be triggered. we are going to be watching to see what happens to clive lewis who is the shadow business secretary. he said earlier today he hadn't yet made up his mind. it was a tough call but he was going to have to make. but he said that if he did defy orders from jeremy corbyn he would therefore be standing down from the shadow cabinet. so that is what is happening this evening and we will bring you up to date as things develop.

that the government will bring forward a motion on the final agreement to be approved by both houses of parliamentand we expect and intend that this will happen before the european parliament debates and votes on the final agreement. but theresa may's negotiations with other eu leaders are likely to be difficult and complex, and some mps are worried about her threat to leave without a deal if she doesn't get her way. what the house wants is the opportunity to send the government back to our eu partners to negotiate a deal if one has not been reached. i can't think of a greater signal of weakness than for this house to send the government back to the european union and to say we want to negotiate further. i think that that would be seized upon as a sign of weakness. so the choice for mps on any deal will effectively be take it or leave it. if you just wait until everything's hands have been shaken with all the other europeans and then you come here then it means parliament is told, if you reject it, of course you have nothing. this is about this house having a genuine choice at some stage and looki

passed the house of commons, and remember it did so with overwhelming support of mps, a majority of 4—1, there was a sense that perhaps we could see a stand—off between the two houses of parliamenthrough, it could face an extra ten —— threat to its existence, members of the public calling for it to be abolished. they are now saying absolutely not, there is no threat of the sort around this. i still think the passage of this bill from tomorrow, through the house of lords, will provide an interesting bit of context around what the opposition to the article 50 bill still is. i think some peers, particularly labour peers, think it is their constitutional place to try to amend this piece of legislation if they believe they want to. there are two areas where i think particularly liberal democrat and labour peers might enjoy some success , labour peers might enjoy some success, as far as that is concerned. that is calling on the government to have to go back to brussels if they don't get a deal as pa rt brussels if they don't get a deal as part of the article 50 process that parliament is pleased with. also, the rights of eu citizens in this country. they might seek to amend this piece

that's as the uk's lower house of parliament gave approval to begin the formal process of leaving theboats-122 by 494 after lawmakers were promised a vote on a final deal to stave the conservative party. it now goes to the house of lords for the final vote, expected on march 7. global news, 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. you can find more stories on the bloomberg at top . this is bloomberg. manus: let's see what's going on in these markets. getting ready to get on board his plane to go to the united states, equities a little heavy this morning. take it away. as he sets off for d.c., we're seeing japanese shares fall with the nikkei to 25 down .5%. taking a wait and see attitude as they await what the trump discourse has to offer. overall we're seeing patches of green but the regional benchmark being dragged by losses in tokyo. losses were narrowed by the jump in hong kong. a 14 month high, breaking through the psychological 10,000 level. we're also seeing a rally in chinese property stock continue after goldman and ci

parliament called by charles the first stripped of anybody who was persistent in terms of bringing charges and executing the king. a rough parliament. england into a commonwealth by abolishing the house of lords. the leaders at that juncture, on the left, you see john pam, the leader of a certain faction. on the right, oliver st. john, another important leader of that period. one of these guys, both of them hold that vision. if you think back to that article that we read on the ecological -- origins of the english empire, that sense of apocalyptic thinking that informed elizabethans had been so important in the founding of virginia in 1607. it spilled over into the founding of massachusetts. this is all part of the same group, those 50 people. i said we could write the history of the formation of the english empire the 17th century. -- century by looking at biographies of about 50 guys. these men hold that same vision. it is going to reach it's fulfillment. they are going to pursue this into the western design, which we have already discussed. at this juncture, the immediate object is to try and craft a union with the united provinces. not an alliance. not a military or economic alli
