we spoke to henry bolton a little bit earlier, a nervous looking henry bolton is a good reason, he saidhat he was removed, it would really plays the future of ukip in jeopardy. that is what has happened, he wanted to reform the party, he will now get the chance to do that. in terms of who might be the next leader, london mep has been talked about as a potential candidate. we are likely to find out quite quickly he will throw their hats into the ring service. at the moment, this news sinking in. celebrations are some that quite a lot of people here very disappointed, saying is actually skulduggery, politicalskulduggery in the form of the national executive committee and they wanted to see henry bolton remain and unite his party, said he wanted to professionalise it. disappointed faces. actually quite a lot of celebration as well and we will get that announcements shortly, it seems, about who will be the acting leader was that leadership election ta kes leader was that leadership election takes place. what might puzzle people is ukip have have many leadership changes in recent times and t

he backed henry bolton who turned out to be even worse. us into this position, and i think he should come back and sort out this mess. he has had terriblejudgment choosing leaders but was a very good ukip leader himself. we need somebody in ukip now who is a strong leader, who can really fight for this party and fight for this country and fight for the brexit, the clean brexit, that the people voted for. i want to say to him, come back, i know you and i have had our differences but come back, lead this party. if you are not prepared to do that, and you are being paid a huge salary by the european parliament to be a full—time politician, and not an occasional politician and a full—time celebrity, do your duty by this party and this country. if you don't want to, then please get out of ukip‘s way and let them choose a leader without any interference from you, because you have shown such poor judgment in the past. on security after brexit. theresa may said a new treaty on foreign and defence policy should be effective by next year. the challe

they say he was taking the party ina bolton.ty in a direction they did not like and he was becoming too mainstream. and that actually he isn't the right man for the job. nigel farage disagrees, he said he may have faults but he is the right man to unite the party. and if the membership does not agree with him, the party is at risk of becoming com pletely the party is at risk of becoming completely irrelevant. that is what nigel farage has said. whether it has sway on the membership year, it's hard to tell. the people i have been speaking to split down the middle. younger ukip members have said they want to see henry bolton to go, they don't think he is right for thejob. other to go, they don't think he is right for the job. other membership year saying that they need to get behind him. that this is ridiculous. they have had four leaders in 18 months, and actually it is a case for the nec having too much power. it's all going on in there. we will hearfrom henry bolton, they will hear from an nec member, steve crowther, on the two

they wanted to see henry bolton remain and unite this party.onalise it. there is quite a lot of celebration here as well. we will get that announcement shortly, it seems, about who will be the acting leader. what might puzzle people as they watched this is that ukip has had many leadership changes in recent times. it is only so often you can continue that process before people lose confidence in the overall position and direction are party is taking. absolutely. that is why some of the membership here today were anxious for this result not to happen. they wanted henry bolton to stay in place, it it is chaotic to have yet another leadership election. he became the fourth leader in 18 months when he took over back in september. then we have these revelations about text m essa 9 es have these revelations about text m essa g es by have these revelations about text messages by his partner. this and also the nec saying we haven't got confidence in you as a leader anyway. some of the membership saying, hang on, we are facing a really difficult time. t

a lot younger members say that they want to see henry bolton go.ey don't think he is right for the job. some of the other membership say that they need to get behind him. this is ridiculous. we have had four leaders in 18 months, up have had four leaders in 18 months, up until when henry bolton was elected. this is a case of the nec having too much power. it's all going on in there now. we will hear from henry bolton and steve crowther, and nec member, on the two sides. people will be picked at random to put their points of view forward. we believe it is two from each side, 77 people have applied to speak on stage, two from each side are picked at random and then it goes to a closed ballot. votes are counted on stage in front of the assembled membership. then the result will be announced. we are expecting something from birmingham on the subject of the ukip leader within the next 30 minutes or so. we will bring that to you as and when that happens. the british geological survey have said in the last little while that they we re in the last little w

henry bolton, former leader of ukip.uropean union after brexit calls for a new "deep and special partnership." in a speech in germany, the prime minister warned that failing to work together would put everyone at risk. in response, the president of the european commission said he'd welcome a close security alliance — but it must be negotiated separately from other brexit issues. our political correspondent, vicki young, reports from munich. in defence and security the uk is a significant player and the prime minister hopes that will get her a special deal. she arrived in munich keen to lay out britain's contribution. generous spending on defence and expertise it wants to share even after brexit. theresa may urged the eu to take a practical approach. this cannot be a time when any of us allow competition between partners, rigid institutional restrictions, or deep—seated ideology, to inhibit our cooperation and jeopardise the security of our citizens. she's calling for a new security treaty so that the close partnership ca

therefore henry bolton has been removed by the democratic decision of the membership...at, ukip bid farewell to another short—lived leader. henry bolton had put his fate in the hands of the party members and five months after they elected him they voted him out. you don't embark on something like this, obviously, hoping to win through. and then find that you don't win through, without feeling, you know, some disappointment, of course. but hey, you know, take it on the chin and move on. it was his relationship withjo marney that led to questions over his future. she sent a series of offensive messages leading ukip's ruling body to demand he quit. today, party members voted and they endorsed that decision. so the mep, gerard batten, has ta ken over temporarily. before the fourth leadership contest in 18 months. costly for a cash—strapped party. ukip has to continue because we are the only opposition. this party was riding high after the brexit referendum, but since then it's been in turmoil, struggling for direction and leadership. and there is a risk today's result could

my thanks to ambassador bolton, ser.lle davidson and dr. jas >> the conservative political action conference continues at secretaryeastern with perry, secretary zinke he. and here on c-span, we will join president trump when he addresses the conference along with kellyanne conway. can join our live coverage starting at 10:00 a.m. eastern on c-span. >> texas senator ted cruz addressed the conference. he addresses legislation he cosponsored that he says would reduce gun violence. he also offered advice for expanding free speech on college campuses. this is 20 minutes.

henry bolton has a different view.t person to take the party into future. being a democratic party, that decision is not made behind closed doors. we have 1500 members here in birmingham who will listen to our dinners from both sides and make the decision. you presumably we re make the decision. you presumably were neutral as party chairman in this vote and didn't vote. are you prepared to express a view today? maybe after the meeting! as long as iam chairman, maybe after the meeting! as long as i am chairman, the chairman is appointed by the leader but reports to the nec. i have the unenviable task of being right between the two of them. that's why i have too chair the meeting. i will be in front of those 1500 people, maintain some sort of order, giving both size an equal opportunity to put their site. i will be the only member that will not vote at the end of the meeting then i will announce the result. after that i may give a hint as to my opinion but ultimately myjob is to make sure that the mechanics of the day wo

it wasn't quite the same way in my view almost all the bundesliga are just a collection of bolton's compared to byron what do you think about that it just was it was next thing is by and change the manager so then they change the team so the team is better and they win the games but in bolton. it was different i think we went to delete and we were watching don't drop this ship to stay in the league every game is important game it doesn't matter if it's going against chelsea against burnley or against this field it doesn't matter who is it we need to win so. we had a great team so we was losing one zero. i can remember last two minutes we won two one so this was very we want to win the game so this is very important i think yeah i mean. obviously everybody wants to win the game buyers want to win every game we can't ask byron to start losing games to make the race tighter how do we solve this problem of over dominance by a music of this two things we didn't think he would as was just mentioned a change in the manager when i was the most he was in charge by doing so well going to see

mr bolton has been under pressure to resign since his ex—girlfriend sent racially offensive messagesthe fiance of queen elizabeth's grandson, prince harry. after the vote, he was asked whether he would have handled the controversy in a different way. that whole episode has been a hell ofan that whole episode has been a hell of an experience, and one that very few people in this country have ever been through. i have learned from that experience and with hindsight i would have dealt with certain aspects differently but we are all human, i tried aspects differently but we are all human, itried my aspects differently but we are all human, i tried my best and what110% of my effort has been involved in is getting this party fighting fit so it can influence the trajectory this country comes out of when it leaves the eu. that must be the priority and that is still my priority. henry walton has been facing an uncertain future since revelations came out about text messages sent by his partner joe about text messages sent by his partnerjoe mane, about text messages sent by his partner joe mane

henry bolton will have a short time to put his case.ort time to put his case. we will also hearfrom steve crowther, a vetera n also hearfrom steve crowther, a veteran member of the national executive committee, on why henry bolton should go. there will then be two short speeches for either side, made by people drawn randomly. we will not get to hear those, but the membership roll. there will be a close ballot, those will be counted on stage and we will get the announcement. henry bolton has indicated that if this vote goes against them he will make a pretty immediate resignation. unscientific polling, but the people i have been talking to seem pretty split. gerard batten, a london mep for ukip, possibly seen as the leader in waiting, would not be drawn on how he thinks it is going to go when i spoke to him earlier. the press release talked about much drama here today and that could absolutely be the case. looking for a result possibly around 3:30pm. that is exactly the question i was going to ask, then we will find out if they are going

henry bolton has said if the day.s said if the vote goes against him he will stand down. he is head—to—head with the national executive who passed a vote of no confidence in him after revelations came out that his girlfriend had sent racist tweets about prince harry's beyonce. henry bolton said he was leaving his girlfriend, only to then make it not so girlfriend, only to then make it not so clear if that was the case. he says that the party's executive is against him. he wants to change the structure of the party if he stays on, but it is a big if. it comes down to how many ukip members turn up down to how many ukip members turn up to vote. if the vote goes against him, he says he will stand down and another ukip leadership campaign will begin. thank you. theresa may is expected to urge the eu to put aside ‘political doctrine and ideology‘ and sign up to a post—brexit security treaty with britain. speaking at a conference in munich this morning, she'll say that nothing must get in the way of britain and the eu helpin

john bolton, welcome back. there are a lot of problems with gitmo. it costs $33,000 on average to house a prisoner in the united states. $11 million for gitmo. >> i think the number is inflated. but the point of putting terrorists at gitmo was to keep them out of the american criminal justice system. they are in a category that doesn't have a counterpart in domestic civil law. they are enemy come wantants. they are not protected by the geneva convention. the supreme court notwithstanding. you could make their incarceration more like regular american prisoners. kennedy: we are the youths america and we are better than that. >> let's take the geneva convention on its own terms even thought it doesn't apply. you are able to hold enemy con wantants who come into your control for the duration of the war. kennedy: but the war on terror could go upon forever. >> i understand that. kennedy: you are talking about only 5% of the people who have been to gitmo, only 41 remain. only 5% were scooped up on the battlefield. the rest when with bought. >> it doesn't b
