the british government has learned a lesson from this and i hope other governments around the world will learn it as well. and outside the u.k. parliament. held up the letter from the british prime minister offering the total apology for what they've done the u.k. lost its way when it got mixed up in the rendition of an innocent pregnant woman and an anti kadafi dissident but today i think it stood on the right side of history by recognising its mistakes and by apologizing. and so where does this leave the reputation of m i six it's worth bearing in mind that spies do what their political masters tell them to and in the years to the september the eleventh attacks in new york the americans were doing rendition a loss and presume of the british they should sue but times change and so do political considerations and this is the people made can come back to hold them the torture cells was held in a go on the political architects of u.k. foreign policy then including former prime minister tony blair can now rest as easy as the m i six agents and a line is drawn into the scandal but had it not been for the persistence of human rights lawyers

they thought it would be a speaker like in the prudish -- like in the british parliament would not do much. so he redefined the role of the speaker as an active leader. this vacuum meant the senate leaderships spring up from different forms and became increasingly tied to the two political parties as they evolved. american political parties formed in the early 1790s. congress members would meet away from the house or senate floor to strategize about political and policy matters. these gatherings were called caucuses. in the republican party we call it a conference. senate democrats still call it a caucus. smith determined that senate party caucuses could elect full- time chairman. these early caucus chairman were not responsible for scheduling what bills would be brought to the floor or other attributes we associate with the modern senate majority leader. instead other leaders had those duties. the first democratic caucus chairman was john wc stevenson, a democrat from kentucky. caucus chairmen in this stephenson and d prjames beck. also blackburn. adley stephenson once said to blackb

then, if there is some kind of deal to be put in place, legislation needs to go through the british parliament parliament -- the fudge has to end. the only two viable possibilities is a border in the which is unacceptable to northern ireland and the british government, or the entire u.k. have to stay in the customs union. to cashtain has out with no deal. joe: what is the deal with the house of lords vote that theresa may keeps losing and what impact do they have? the house of lords is overseeing the legislation that is passing through the parliament. the domestic legislation to make sure the u.k. can leave the eu. haveouse of lords is not the final say. they make amendments to the legislation and they will pass it back. for theresa may, she looks really weak when she keeps losing votes in the house of lords. ultimately, what matters is the vote in the house of commons. there will be a vote in the house of commons and that is whether or not to u.k. should stay in the customs union. here, labor has already said that their position is that the u.k. should stay in the customs union. the question

they had originally thought it would be like the speaker in a british parliament who doesn't really donything but preside. but clay was too ambitious and much too on the move to sort of sit there quietly and preside over the house. so he redefined the speaker's role as an active leader and ultimately of the majority party's leadership. this meant the senate's leadership spraining up from a number of different forms and became increasingly tied to the two political parties as they evolved. american political parties began to form in the early 1790s. from the beginning, party members in congress would meet away from the house or senate floor to strategize about political and policy matters. these gatherings of senate party members were called caucuses. and in the republican party, we call it a conference. senate democrats still called it a caucus. doctors gam and smith have determined that around the time of the civil war, senate party caucuses began electing full- time chairmen. these early caucus chairmen were not officially responsible for scheduling what bills would be brought to the
