the quest foran we've moved our goalposts. an independent of enquiry has been there almost from the start. the universal suffrage thing off and on has been one of the public demands, but this protest movement has reinforced in hong kong people's minds that until and unless they have the right to elect their own leaders, and with the dysfunctional legislative council, where the pro—beijing parties are in the majority, people have no choice other than to take to the streets to make their voices heard. this is what the movement is all about. i understand your objectives, but i am, ina i understand your objectives, but i am, in a sense, talking about the strategy of defiance. now, in 2014, we saw people on the streets, many of them students, young people, with their colourful umbrellas and in the end they kept the demonstrations going for a while. there was some sort of a dialogue, which seemed pretty unsatisfactory, but ultimately they went home and got on with their daily lives. this time the mentality seems entirely different.

minister and that is, instead of tabling a motion under the fixed—term parliaments act asking mps foranon, he could bring forward a piece of legislation himself. this would be very short, it might only be a sentence or two, and essentially that legislation would say notwithstanding the fixed—term parliaments act, we would like an election to be called on the particular date and ask mps to vote for it. for the government, that has the advantage that they would only need a simple majority, not two thirds, and that would set the date for any election in stone, and that might assuage any of the concerns that labour and other opposition mps have that he could later change the date of the election. downside for the prime minister is that because that would be a bell, it would be open to amendment and it would then have to go through the house of lords as well. so that is potentially hugely problematic? lords as well. so that is potentially hugely problematic7m could be really tricky for them but it is still an option on the table. the whole issue around the government allegedly or potentially

law power and duty of this court to ensure that a discretionary prerogative power is not exercised foranrd point that the prime minister and the advocate general emphasise is they say that this complaint is academic, their word, because parliament was able to sit and did sit between the third and the 9th of september, and parliament will sit again on the 14th of october. they point out that parliament legislated between the third and the 9th of september, and if it wishes, it will be able to legislate again as from the 14th of october. our answer to this point is two fold. first, we say if we can sustain our complaint that on the 28th of august, the prime minister advised her majesty that parliament should be closed for five weeks because he was concerned that parliament would or may damage the implementation of his policies, then that is an invalid purpose, and it is with great respect, not for this court to seek to assess what parliament would, may or will do during those five weeks. if, as we can the prime minister acted for an improper motive, it is not now open to the prime minister

for model year 2016 domestic passenger vehicle manufacturers million foran $77 noncompliance. and model year 2017, only three large manufacturers complied based on the technology levels of their vehicles alone. most large manufacturers used bank credits along with technology improvements to maintain supplies. the most recent department of transportation data on credits and the shortfall between the completes and cafe compliance suggests that this figure may rise dramatically due to the increasing stringency of the obama standards. for example, the tote am short -- total shortfall in cafe credits for model year 2018 is the equivalent of almost $1.3 billion. more than 10 times higher than the equivalent shortfall than model year 2011. this begs the question, why keep the standards that automakers can only comply with through credits and paying fees? we believe that the changes are needed and that the safe proposal set forth our view of what changes are appropriate. because our rule lee moves certain credits and fees, our standards would have a measurable impact on the environmen

could he, for example, alongside the letter that he is mandated to potentially send to the eu asking foranking for an extension send another letter saying i don't really mean that, that isn't what this government wa nts, that isn't what this government wants, and so as suppose must undermine the request is being forced to make? could they find a sympathetic eu country to veto the idea of an extension? because, of course, isn't just that the idea of an extension? because, of course, isn'tjust that the uk has to ask for one, the european union has to agree. so those are a couple of the theories doing the rounds at the moment. of course it has caused some outrage among mps who are determined to see him carry out this law as they envisage it and that is why you have her talk about the possibility of court battles, last—minute court battles running some time between the 19th of october and the 31st of october. we are not there yet but what we do know is that a number of mps are lining upa know is that a number of mps are lining up a legal team just in case that has to happen in their view. poli

they have got the benn act and the law that the prime minister has to act foran extension if there is party leader exactly this yesterday, what was the plan and there was this guffaw of laughter followed by, when the ball lands, we will kick it. in which accent? that would rather give it away. adam and katya, what do you think people on the other side of the channel are making of all of this palaver? all of this anger. i had about 50 coffees in brussels this morning, alljittery like this, it doesn't mean that i have any information, as does katya, so, what do you make of it? the feeling here and across the capital really is, there is no way, like, no way, that a deal is going to get done by mid—october. so, you know the eu is already thinking, they have said that time is ticking and so on, if you are looking at the mid—octobersummit, there is not much time left for negotiations, because before summits, before leavers sit down together, there is a whole load of preparatory meetings, at a lower political level before that and the leaders would want to see the text of an agreed new brexi

time foran appointed everything. and a time for everything under the heavens.es in which we live. or the advent or the passage of those times. it belongs to the providence of god to assign all the times of our lives, according to his wisdoms, and to direct each life to himself. views us athe lord the moment of our conception and at the moment of our death, all at once. andees as being baptized ultimately being welcomed into the fullness of his kingdom, all at once. he sees us in our prime, and in our weakness, all at once. seeking sees us ingonciliation and sinn simultaneously. it is that vision that allows each of us to rest secured in god's love and in his mercy. it is that vision that we day,rate in eucharist this as we commend cokie to the reign of god. when in the course of one's life individualual -- an is fortunate enough to encounter a loving and giving person, such as cokie was for so many, then there is a great inclination to forget that it is not without our power to control. and the passages and entrances of people into god's reign is accomplished b

indications that labourjust don't trust borisjohnson so they are not going to give him the green light foranive him the green light for an early election. and if we wa nt for an early election. and if we want a sense of the hostility and animosity among mitchelljohnson's tory opponents, listen to philip hammond this morning, a man who used to be derided as spreadsheet phil, now more like phil the avenger, or how under the hammer, castigating borisjohnson, saying how under the hammer, castigating boris johnson, saying his how under the hammer, castigating borisjohnson, saying his brexit strategy was nonsense. the truth is, parliament is back, borisjohnson is now ina parliament is back, borisjohnson is now in a bareknuckle fight to salvage his brexit strategy. norman, thank you very much. so, how has the european union reacted to the struggle in westminster? our correspondent damian grammaticas is in brussels. and of course, there, like here, just watching what happens? they are, absolutely, and waiting to see, because the eu, like everyone else, doesn't know, and has to wait and watch. intere

what could be a more appropriate time than now foran be a more appropriate time than now for an oppositionovernment? this government has had more incoming missiles than saddam hussein. he is on the wrong end of supreme court, he has lost his majority in the house of commons and lost control of brexit, how weak does he have to be before you move against him?|j before you move against him?” couldn't agree with you more, but you know because of the threat of crashing out of the eu with no deal, at the end of october, because this isa at the end of october, because this is a prime minister that is totally dupe lis us to and we cannot trust a word he says, the only way to get that general election is for him to get the extension. be you now know... get the extension. be you now know. . . the get the extension. be you now know... the vote of no confidence wouldn't sort the problem of crashing out of the eu. you know he is not going to ask for an extension and you know the reasons why, he would probably rather resign than call for an extension. so you are now ina call for an extension. so you are

this position he is being put in, if mps vote for the legislation tomorrow, it would force him to ask foranrce him to ask for an extension to the brexit process. if he cannot get a new deal, the only way out is to hold a general election. 0ption number one for the government to do that is to put forward a motion under the fixed term parliament act to call an early election and we expect that to be on 0ctober election and we expect that to be on october 15. election and we expect that to be on 0ctober15. that means a two—thirds majority in the house of commons to go through. and at the moment it is farfrom certain go through. and at the moment it is far from certain that it would receive that because, as you heard jeremy corbyn suggesting they are, the position of labour is unclear tonight. he seems to believe that the priority is getting the government to a point when no deal is ruled out before an election is triggered. but there are all kinds of possible scenarios about whether the government would have to stick to that and if the conservatives won could repeal it anyway. so we would have

why would you not asked for an of courshave asked foran exempt. >> so you need so address -- i believe because it's not required. >> i guess wouldn't it be good housekeeping to act ask for onen these circumstances? >> why doesn't our general counsel take a crack. >> michelle, you ask for an exemption to the extent you have a contract to off apply. you would acts fo ask for a wain amendment. >> because this is a contract amendment -- >> an amendment to an existing contract. >> and because it is not technically apply, we don't need to act ask for that exemption. and they wanted to compete, they could go through a process. >> i just want to narrow in and there's a big distinction between a company and the law is a state. the board of supervisors could have said we want that by companies and if they don't meet a threshold, we won't do business. that's not the law. the law is a prohibition on companies in texas. they would not qualify today for a $20 million and what's before us today is a $20 million of someone that can't stan up stanp before us. it's not meant to big into the people in th

weaponry of course remains in the hands of parliament, motions of no confidence, two thirds voting foranf no confidence, two thirds voting for an election under the fixed—term parliaments act, all the decisions and all the debates of the parliamentary business we have seen in the newspapers in recent weeks. this is, we submit, therefore, the territory of politicaljudgment. in the heart of the reasoning as it therefore was in the maclean case. and there are no predetermined mechanistic rules, you will remember the quotations during that distinction on legislative control and political judgment. just at heart, politicaljudgments and political judgment. just at heart, political judgments of and political judgment. just at heart, politicaljudgments of the whole variety of matters, including perceived political advantage, as pa rt perceived political advantage, as part of that parliamentary and day—to—day government cut and thrust that feed into those decisions. and that feed into those decisions. and that we spit respectfully submit, that we spit respectfully submit, that basic and fundament

he laid out according to the representatives for him today that they have a new idea foran him today for an alternative to the backstop, an sps solution, so checks on food link animals away from the border. the eu says this will not work because if you just have a customs rule the animals, it opens up all sorts of loopholes for smuggling elsewhere, it opens up other possibilities for other eu countries to say, we will take these rules but not x and y. we are going round in a circle as the eu see it despite this new positive movement, and let's see what happens on monday because boris johnson comes to luxembourg, meets for the first time with jean—claude juncker and also the luxembourg prime minister. the optics look good, a sense of movement as we head towards the 31st of october, nobody wa nt to towards the 31st of october, nobody want to see that, but until then, the eu are tight—lipped, they are saying what will be said when they see it. interesting what you were saying about the contents of that whatsapp message. it is fairly acerbic wouldn't we all love to be a fly on the wall i

with all the others that is a total of 650 and no party is anywhere near the required 326 foran is anywhere be the tories election strategy? in 2017 the two main parties dominated, the tories taking 43% and labour 41% of the vote. compare that to how the parties are polling now. conservatives have had a poll bounce under borisjohnson, but are still averaging around 33%. labour are down to 26% in september's polls. let's take a look at the electoral map from 2017. if the current polls were reflected in a general election, the conservatives would take 24 seats offer labour, places like kensington, dudley north and newcastle—under—lyme but at the same time they risk losing seats, places like stirling and golden in scotland would likely go to the snp. cheltenham, southport and winchester to the liberal democrats. so the conservatives need to take more seats from labour and they will have their rise on the ones that voted for brexit. looking at the conservatives top 50 labour held targets, it is estimated that 39 voted leave, places like stoke—on—trent north with a 72% lead vote, blackpool south

inaudible and borisjohnson is clamouring now foran and borisjohnson is clamouring now for an electionill have that deadlock. the point i was making was that if he did put a queen's speech before parliament he could force that vote of no confidence, even though jeremy corbyn doesn't want to bring it because he would have to vote on that queen's speech, wouldn't he? he would, but it's a question... in normal times it would count as a vote of no—confidence. it's a of whether labour have stuck that that —— it's a question of whether labour would have stuck to that position. but they would have to approve it, u nless but they would have to approve it, unless they want to bring him down. but it is recognising, there is a difference between these important votes, whether you win or lose on these votes, and a specific vote of no confidence through the fix parliament act. we've seen this before. there was a very strong vote against the withdrawal agreement. then there was a specific vote of confidence. and yet there was a vote of confidence in the then theresa may government. it is perfectly f

after that council the prime minister would ask foran council the prime minister would ask for an extensionrk? it is baffling. you say you will obey the law but not do that one thing, it is hard to see how you get out of that. dominic raab has said the government will not test what the law required. as for boris johnson, he enters yet another crucial week one more mp down, but still insisting brexit will happen next month. and helen is with me now... and, helen, a very significant week ahead? yes, starting tomorrow the bill to block a no—deal brexit is due to get royal assent to become law. boris johnson is set to try and have another go at getting an early general election before the crucial eu summit. again as with last week he is expected to fail because opposition parties say they will not vote for it. they want to make sure a no—deal brexit is completely impossible before they agreed to go to the polls. this week is the week parliament will get formally suspended, prorogued to use the technical term. we don't know exactly when that will happen but it could be as early as tomorrow, cert
