really exciting to be there, we happened that i was there for the memorial for victims of gun violence, maddy scott from here, from san francisco, went along with 30 groups. we there to honor murder victims, people killed by gun violence, and all this other news was breaking at the same time. >> it seemed like your mother resisted t impeachment calls for months. so what finally pushed her over to go to the side where, we have to do this? what changed her mind? did she talk with you about it as a strategist yourself saying, should we do this? >> well, it happened all in front of us. it's one thing to say there's a person who's done a lot of bad things that we believe, we're not sure we can prove, but he went out and released a transcript. well, first, with notes and recollections, but then ultimately a transcript of the conversation. even his summary was impeachable conduct. so it was pretty incredible to see the president of the united states fully admit that he had held up aid to the president of ukraine and said, well, i want you to do me a favor firth. when the president of ukraine asked t

hi, maddie, you are on the air. go ahead with your comment. caller: hi. you know, i'm so disgusted with what they're trying to do to the president of the united no s at taxpayer expense, less. they're wasting time. they are not proposing anything good for the taxpayer. all they're doing is going after one person who has been trying to do his best. now, we were long time democrats. we've switched over and supported trump. and this is and this is really getting bad and we're going to again vote for trump. host: on that, here's what president trump tweeted this afternoon. he says, the democrats are so focused on hurting the republican party and the president that they are unable to get anything done because of it. including legislation on gun safety, lowering of prescription drug prices, infrastructure, etc., so bad for our country. we'll go to annapolis next and hear from steve on the republican line. caller: hi. thank you very much for taking the call. i'm really disappointed with donald trump, where he's coming back and he's saying, i'm going to release t

but those who've taken out loans to help pay the cost of nearly 67,000 a year, like maddie and ameliaal average. so when you graduate, you'll owe $40,000. at the very least. amelia's education is costing her even more. so coming here, i have to pay for about $30,000 a year myself, so that's about $120,000 in debt when i graduate. so it's a lot of money and it's very stressful. already both students are worrying about how this debt will affect their ability to do the public service jobs they dream of. i can't afford to go into non—profits and still pay back my dad. i can't do what i want to do, i can't do what i'm passionate about, i can't do what i'm most equipped to do and that hurts me and that hurts my community. for seniors at american, likejen and ryan, it's now time to face reality and pay back those loans. i would love to be au until may, like i've had a really awesome time here. jem's going to owe 40,000 and she's graduating a semester early. just in tuition, without even figuring in my housing, that's going to save me around $15,000. so, i mean, i really can't justify three m

things are only okay and they are not falling off the rails because we have mcmaster and we have maddis and john kelly and of course they are gone and the policies are still the same. the president is the decider in chief. reagan had a very chaotic -- including one of having the iran contra scandal, he plowed through a lot of national security advisors and it was a fairly chaotic process. we remember reagan for brilliant arms control victories and really managing the cold war really well. focus on the outcomes not the process. >> thank you very much for that jim. meantime staunch trump critic and liberal billionaire george soros now giving the president some rare praise. what he says is the president's greatest achievement now. should other democrats give him credit as well? with sofi, get your credit cards right- by consolidating your credit card debt into one monthly payment. and get your interest rate right. so you can save big. get a no-fee personal loan up to $100k. doprevagen is the number oneild mempharmacist-recommendeding? memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin ai

at 12:30 we'll be speaking to maddy thimont jack from the institute for government think tank.ls are on your screen now. do please let us know your questions. these are incredibly informative, i listen into them to try to brief myself on where on earth this is going next. these moments are really, really helpful. the headlines on bbc news... boris johnson is meeting the irish prime minister, leo varadkar, in dublin today, ahead of another critical week for brexit. mps are to vote again today on holding a snap general election — with the prime minister looking set to face a second defeat. travel disruption for hundreds of thousands of british airways passengers, as pilots go on strike. it's the biggest walk—out, in ba's history. good morning. winsport, rafael natal wins us open. he beat daniil medvedev in a five set thriller to win his 19th grand slam title, his fourth in new york. australia have retained the ashes. victory at old trafford yesterday made it 2—1 in the series and the fifth and final test starts on thursday at the oval. pippa is celebrating herfirst major title in

with us now is maddy thimontjack from the non—partisan think tank the institute for government.e know is going to happen in parliament? mps today are going to try to take control of the parliamentary agenda tomorrow and to do this they will ask the speaker to allow an emergency debate on a motion that will say rather than government controlling the agenda tomorrow, back and chose well and if they pass the vote today then they plan on bringing forward the bill, published last night, tomorrow, and the bill is saying if mps haven't approved a deal or approved no—deal by the 19th of october, the prime minister must ask for an extension to article 50. it isa ask for an extension to article 50. it is a big question, what happens if this happens, but what likelihood of that getting through?m if this happens, but what likelihood of that getting through? it is difficult to say with uncertain numbers. quite a few conservative mps are willing to vote against the government to take control of the order paper, some aren't against exit but they are against a no—deal brexit. there's a handful

happening is maddy thimont jack, brexit researcher who never been busier.an prime minister must go to brussels and ask for an extension to the article 50 process. we are expecting that to become law today so the pressure is now on borisjohnson to try to get some kind of deal approved before that point so he doesn't have to ask for an extension. there is all the speculation here, and in the papers this morning, about how it doesn't necessarily mean that no deal can't happen. well, i mean, basically, you cannot completely take no deal off the table, because you need the agreement of all other eu member states, all 27 member states must agree to an extension to stop no deal on october 31. you are also technicallyjust delaying the prospect of no deal, even if you do get an extension, because you still need to agree to some kind of deal to ensure that that is how we leave the eu. i mean, there is some speculation about what the government is going to try to do to get around to be because johnson really doesn't want to go and ask foran really doesn't want to go a

joining us is rebecca patterson is still with us along with maddy dezner at jpmorgan wilf, to sum upt action? >> bearish day three senior citizctors on the . but just going back to rick's report and the intraday charts on the yields, such a bearish negative open to the trade with some record all-time lows for various european nations dragging u.s. yields down and where we ended up could have been a lot worse mike, yourtake on exactly that where we did end up? still down a lot but off the lows. >> not down tremendously in terms of where we have traded in the range. we closed above wednesday's close in the s&p 500 and actually not much of a net loss after 10:00 a.m. when we did get that ism report so i think the market -- the big story is the market after august which was so kind of exhausting and choppy and volatile and so yurrounded y so much negative anticipation that we have almost braced for what we're getting in terms of data so far and a fact that september tends to be a bad month. is it enough to have negative september. and say that it's probably not enough we have managed to

i'm joined now by maddy thimont jack, senior researcher at the institute for government, and our realityion to get back to basics. to get back to basics, the whip is... you always have whips and opposition parties, they'll remember to make sure mps all vote the way the party wants them to vote so if you the party wants them to vote so if you remove the party wants them to vote so if you remove that, that means they are no longer compelled to vote with the party and essentially no longer conservative mps which is what they did last night, so they said they would remove the whip from the conservative mps who voted against the government. in terms of the deselection, that relates to a general election that would be saying these mps could not stand again as conservative members in their constituencies, so there is a bit of a question extent to which the government controls a selection, and the conservative party constitution, but that is what they have said as they will not be able to do that. they have said they cannot support these mps. .. that is the case in point. and anonymous question.

with me now is maddy thimont—jack, senior brexit researcher at the instiute for government.oming up. it is one of those things you can never explain too much. i have tried to explain in 30 seconds what the backstop is many times. i will try it slightly differently. three things emerge that the government wanted during the negotiations under the theresa may government. to leave the eu‘s economic structures, to leave the border in ireland as open as it is now, and to have no new checks between northern ireland and great britain, the so—called border than the irish sea. the trouble is you can‘t have those three things at the same time, you have to compromise on one of them. and what the backstop did was essentially say, and it was agreed by the eu and her british government, to say that of those things, the most important is to keep that border in ireland as open as it is now, for obvious political, security, historical reasons. so the backstop says, "if you will keep the board open as it is now, you need to compromise a little bit on to be leaving the single market and the cus

suddenly thin sur gent group who had taken smaller cities, fallujah, ra maddie, took the second largesta middle-income city. everyone knew that mosul would have to fall eventually and they knew if it fell it would spell the end of the caliphate at least in iraq, and if not isis, at least their territory. >> there is this desire, i think, among the american people historically and now to somehow declare victory. >> yeah. >> what does victory look like. >> donald trump has declared victory said isis is defeated but we have al qaeda morphant to isis. how do you declare victory against a defeat like that? >> i think it's a significant victory, it took away their territory. what was remarkable about isis as compared to al qaeda or so many other groups is they held a great deal of territory. they had a state, a government, a regime, an economy. they had a school system. they had a society. that's been largely eradicated in the geographical sense. that does make a victory if that's the word we want to use. the ideas and the recentments that drive people to want to join us, those obviously have

here to explain arejoelle grogan, a lecturer in constitutional law, and maddy thimont jack, from thelike we are on a horrible camping holiday in our little tent! we hearjacob rees—mogg described the decision by the supreme court yesterday as a constitutional coup. is he right? that is an unusual statement but very simply what happened yesterday was the supreme court doing theirjob to tell parliament to do theirjob and you also say government powers are limited in theirjob. we don't really have a constitutional coup when we have the court, the supreme court, saying in a unanimous judgement of 11 judges, "here are two foundational principles of our legal system, parliamentary sovereignty and parliamentary accountability". that's not a constitutional coop, that is constitutional coop, that is constitutional fact. what does this change, not just with constitutional fact. what does this change, notjust with brexit now but in the years and decades to come? this is the biggest statement of constitutional law in the country we have had... almost even bigger than the miller decision three yea

let's talk about the next steps with maddy thimont jack from the institute of government.ying this week? it is probably an unfair questionm are you enjoying this week? it is probably an unfair question. it is a slightly unfair question. 0bviously there's a lot innovation happening around the commons, so i do think it is interesting for those following it. so i will take you through events but i will fast forward and rewind. last night in the early hours of the morning we know the lords were talking about this bill to stop the no deal. then what happened? yes, so yesterday they we re happened? yes, so yesterday they were trying to pass a business motion that would have allowed the lords to get through all of the stages by the end of this week. normally in the house of lords you don't programme a bill and it can ta ke don't programme a bill and it can take a don't programme a bill and it can takea a don't programme a bill and it can take a a while to get through everything. they basically laid down a load of amendments to try and talk through the business motion to the exten
