what happens is they go into westminster abbey and there is a procession with the english judges and their finery led by the lord chancellor. the lord chancellor invited berger to walk beside him going down the aisle of westminster abbey with all of the judges behind him. berger was thrilled and look ed like he went out of central casting. [laughter] justice kennedy: lord hailsham was a very friendly man, and the first group in the church in the back were americans and other foreign visitors. the next group was the labor shadow government. they were out of office but the shadow prime minister was neil kinnock, and they were walking in and the lord chancellor said, neil, and the americans got down in an genuflected. [laughter] justice kennedy: warren berger loved it. he said, "now you know what they do over there in england." some of the people, they don't kneel down. i said, you tell him. churchill was a very great defender of the judiciary, of the independence of the judiciary, but also a great defender of parliamentary supremacy. and that is your tradition until this day. i noticed

>> abbey philip, a lot to cover. next i want to go to the capitol, cnn's manu raju. >> reporter: democrats were in no mood to have the president come here to the house chamber and lecture them about the government shutdown especially since they believe this is all the president's fault. the president said himself that he would own this. and pelosi in fact said to her caucus today in a closed door meeting, i'm told, there's no point of you even bringing your family here to washington next week. people took that as a sign that the "state of the union" was never going to happen even before the back and forth of the letters today. you'll recall that initial letter in which she urged the president to delay of the "state of the union" until after the shutdown. she first cited security concerns but then the president came back and the department of homeland security said they could secure the "state of the union" perfectly fine. she then said it was really about furloughed employees and the fact they're not getting paid, it

abbey philip is out front live outside the white house. and abbey, does the white house have a strategy or is this just about retaliation? clearly the president wrote it himself with the random capitalizations and all. this is his letter. >> reporter: it had been 24 hours since nancy pelosi asked him to postpone his "state of the union" because of the shutdown. and a lot of people wondered why president trump and the white house seemed to have not responded at all to that. and that's partly because according to our sources they didn't have a plan. they didn't know how to respond to what she had put on the table and were looking for a strategy. they landed upon one this morning. according to our sources the acting chief of staff mick mulvaney decided this might be the best opportunity for them to respond to her. and one official called it retaliation. now the president liked this idea and has since liked the coverage of it in the media believing the democrats had been seeming to have the upper hand in this shutdown as all of these stories h

when we look at the relationship between, not misses me and mr abbey —— mrs may and mrabe, not missesationship, paul stations -- politicians on both sides have invested decades in building that relationship. the key to that is trade and investment, but it goes wider than that, as the government reflected today in their announcement of an enhanced research partnership, higher education, science and innovation, people to pupil exchanges, this is a relationship which is based on friendship and a genuine sense of partnership. but trade and investment is at the heart of it and japan has a stake in brexit because they have computed immeasurably to british prosperity of the 45 years that we have been members of the european union. —— contributed immeasurably. thanks to you for coming in to talk to us today. jeremy corbyn has stepped up his calls for general election. he said at the earliest opportunity if theresa may's deal is rejected by mps. as mps continue to debate her proposals, what is the likelihood of winning that vote? my colleague christian fraser has this assessment of the parliam
