sunak accuses borisjohnson of asking him to overruling a committee looking at appointments to the house of lords. one of the dominant figures in italian public life, the billionaire media magnate and former prime minister, silvio berlusconi, has died at the age of 86. the prime minister has described him as a fighter. the defence minister says berlusconi's death leaves a huge void. he says, an era is over, adding that he loves berlusconi very much. mr berlusconi was prime minister three times. each time it seemed his political career was over, he managed to bounce back. his flamboyant personality struck a chord with the italian electorate, which continued to back him despite allegations of corruption and double—dealing. let's speak to chiara albanese, who is italy's correspondent for bloomberg. thank you forjoining us. let me ask you first of all, what has the reaction been in italy to mr berlusconi's death?- reaction been in italy to mr berlusconi's death? from left to ri . ht, berlusconi's death? from left to right. everyone _ berlusconi's death? from left to right, everyone has _ berlusconi's

a number of mrjohnson�*s key supporters, who were nominated by him for seats in the house of lords, were the final version of his resignation honours list last week. those close to borisjohnson say number ten blocked the appointments. but rishi sunak said today that mrjohnson had asked him to overrule the committee, which vets the new appointments — something mr sunak said he was not prepared to do. our political editor chris mason has the latest. back in the country, still in the headlines and generating more. tonight, borisjohnson and rishi sunak are in open, public conflict. borisjohnson and his allies accuse the prime minister of secretly blocking peerages for some of mrjohnson�*s closest associates. rishi sunak is normally cautious, circumspect in what he says in public. not today. borisjohnson asked me to do something that i wasn't prepared to do, because i didn't think it was right. that was to either overrule the holac committee or to make promises for people. now, i wasn't prepared to do that. as i said, i didn't think it was right. and if people don't like that, then tough. i..

moral argument and contrast with the prime minister before last, unwilling to overrule holac, the house of lords. boris johnson wasn't willing to face questions or appear in front of the cameras today. but take a look at this. he told us: we would do rigorous testing. this sounds technical. it is. this is nadine. hi! but it matters for those who thought they'd get a peerage and didn't — like the former cabinet minister nadine dorries. who claimed tonight that number 10 intervened to avoid a by—election. it 10 intervened to avoid a by-election._ 10 intervened to avoid a by-election. it was pretty stuid. by-election. it was pretty stupid- if— by-election. it was pretty stupid. if they _ by-election. it was pretty stupid. if they thought i by-election. it was pretty l stupid. if they thought they were being clever by thinking they could play... . did they deny it? are they lying? of course they denied it. they are not telling the truth. they are not telling the truth. they are not telling the truth. but it matters too, because all this has plunged relations between the prime minister and mrjohnson

and why do i think the hoffman test is important is because the judicial committee of the house of lordscommittee, was a committee of parliament following a judicial or in this case quasi judicial or in this case quasi judicial process. and what is the issue here? and i quote from the judgment. the contention is that there was a real danger or reasonable apprehension or suspicion that lord hoffmann might have been biased. that is to say, it is alleged that there is an appearance of bias not actual bias. the fundamental principle is that a man may not be a judge in his own cause. this principle as developed by the courts has two very similar but not identical implications. first, it may be applied literally. if a judge is in fact a party to litigation or has a financial or proprietary interest, then he is indeed sitting as a judge in his own cause. in that case the mere fact he is a party to the action or has a financial interest in its outcome is sufficient to cause his automatic disqualification. the second application of the principle is where a judge is not a party to the suit and doe

rights, it could be stopped at the court of appeal, and also it might even not get through the house of lords bill really is saying that what's going to happen to these migrants is that they will be held in the uk for 21 days while they're processed and then those people would be sent abroad back to their homes in the countries that they came from or to a safe country such as rwanda, for example, where the british government has been setting up accommodation facilities to receive these migrants. at the moment, though, housing those illegal migrants in the uk costs around £6 million a day. so the question is whether this is going to be an extra charge on top or whether in fact the costs are roughly around the same. we're not quite sure about that. and we are going to get clarification on that. robertjenrick, who's the immigration minister, has been talking about the policy with laura kuenssberg today. we can't be reliant on hotels. we've got to use things like barges or disused army bases. we also can't allow the uk to be perceived to be a soft touch. and i've just spent the last week visiting

he says mrjohnson asked him to overrule the panel letting his nominees for the house of lords. to honours and borisjohnson, boris johnson asked me to do something that i wasn't prepared to do, because i didn't think it was right. that was either to overrule the committee or make promises to people. i wasn't prepared to do that, i didn't think it was right. if people don't like that then tough. when i got thisjob... thing—mack. i want to do this job differently. lets bring in our political correspondent, rob watson. let's talk about what we saw there from rishi sunak. it is very clear that the prime minister is trying as much as he can to move away from the way in which politics is perceived to have been done by borisjohnson. absolutely, and if borisjohnson and rishi sunak were ever mates, which i don't think they were particularly, they certainly aren't now. it is certainly quite striking, because up until now, rishi sunak, yes of course he wanted to distinguish himself from the government of boris johnson, but he was anxious not to rile him up, not to say things, sort of treate
