flops now if we don't have a new prime minister by midnight today so if we do have a prime minister i mean that is not likely to appease the protesters and their demands i think there are 2 issues so the problem is that one of the problems is the protesters have clearly said that no one speaks on their behalf and that there are multiple actors within the protest movement so it's very difficult to determine whether as a collective they would be appeased by seeing a new prime minister the other issues i think that their demands go way beyond the appointment of a new prime minister i don't think most of these protesters came about to have to force this current prime minister to resign they want jobs they want to tackle corruption they want to electoral reform these things are going to happen with this new government and i think this current government has 2 main priorities the 1st is i think to reign in the violence and i think the 2nd is to make way for new elections for early elections with a new reformed electoral code that can really change the political dynamics in this country now

so they had a minister there. you can only have one ambassador to a country so we had a minister specifically to west berlin to protect american citizens over there. very quickly the wall started to come down. do you want to speak to that? because you played a rurebl role in that. the night, the u.s. minister was actually what was called the allied chairman at the time. and the chairmanship rotated monthly. so the month of november was the u.s.'s turn. people started gathering at the checkpoints, words had gotten out that they could now cross. police were not prepared for this onslaught of people and so they yor of berlin -- were still in russian territory. there was a sort of buffer zone if you will between the actual checkpoint you crossed through. permission e needed to cross into that sector to help out the east berlin police with this crush of people. so harry gilmore, this was an on the spot decision had to make it. normally protocol would call for him to consult and notify but he gave permission on the spot

secondly, it would assist the dignity of the house if the prime minister was given the opportunity to withdraw. >> on a very robust day like this, there are instances where -- the minister is not helping. i listened very carefully to the prime minister. there are a number of things today that would not have assisted the dignity of the house. i am not going to require a withdrawal. i am going to say there are other means open to members, if they think there is a misrepresentation. but i can think of many examples of very tough flag which like that. i will say it was tough. many examples that have occurred, and it had not been the case that it was very personalized and went directly to the person. that would be a different matter. i caution all members speaking. the prime minister has concluded his answer. you've got 22 seconds. >> the reason i will not withdraw this is because they have been engaged in that tactic against me as prime minister for some time now. i will stand up for what i believe in, and i will stand up for my beliefs. >> thanks for watching. that is the final edition of question time wr

i think there was a very strong case. the prime ministerlready made a statement about how law changes may have affected the treatment of the perpetrator of this crime. and i think audiences quite rightly would want to see the bbc interview the prime minister. so there was a significant change in the political weather because of the events on london bridge. i think it was quite right for the bbc to say that the prime minister was available and that the bbc was the place where that interview should take place. 0k. it is pretty obvious, isn't it, that the bbc should have pinned down all the party leaders before running any of the andrew neil interviews? because now you didn't get the balance right on the andrew neil interviews. why didn't you? so, these are very complicated issues. i am involved in question time, for example, and when you are doing a whole series of programmes, to say that you need to nail all of them down before the campaign or before announcing any of them, that has two big problems. not before announcing them. first of all,
