when he woke up this morning, he texted manager davey martinez with two words: "i'm good." davey martinez saw him on the bus today. saw the game face and i knew, he said, he was really good. what's fascinating is scherzer actually has a longer leash than houston's starter zack greinke. greinke has pitched with traffic the entire postseason. he's going to get one jam to pitch out of and the second one probably is bullpen. martinez has taken scherzer out of a game mid ending only five times all year. as he told me, whom i going to bring in who's better? fascinating starting pitching matchup. guys, i'm fascinated about the role of gerrit cole in this game. the answer to that, here's ken rosenthal. >> ken: we are not going to see gerrit cole pitch five scoreless innings in relief the way madison bumgarner did on ono days' rest to close out game 7 of the 2014 world series. we are not even going to seem pitch three innings the way jon lester didn't game 7 in 2016. now, we might see two innings out of cole but the more interesting question is when we will see him. it could be as e

that was ed davey.lished later. 72 people died in the disaster. the prime minister says the findings mean the world will finally hear the truth about the events. let's get more on this from breakfast‘s graham satchell, who's in kensington this morning. it isa it is a difficult day for the families as well, isn't it? it will be, louise, because it is 1000 pages long, this report, and full of harrowing detail. it is finally published officially at ten o'clock this morning but we know what's in it. it is a damning report. it says the cladding was principally to blame for the fire spreading so quickly, cladding that didn't comply with regulations. it's the fire service that will be getting a bit ofa service that will be getting a bit of a kicking today, frankly. they are criticised for what is called systemic failure of planning, training, communication, radios didn't work in the building, for example, there is lots of discussion of the stay put policy, the advice to residents for them to stay in their flat

sir ed davey, thank you for your time this morning. back to you, naga.e since 1982 in the falklands war, parliament is sitting ona falklands war, parliament is sitting on a saturday. why? because at 930 it will reconvene and the speaker of the house of commons, john bercow, will stand up and introduced parliament and say whether or not he will let certain amendments come through and then make way for boris johnson to present his argument for why mps should vote for his agreement, the agreement he made with eu leadersjust a couple of days ago. what we know at the moment is he needs 320 votes. what we don't know is whether or not he will get them. it is very, very tight today. we will be examining that, as you have seen from various politicians on both sides, how they will be voting today. many undecided still. time now is a 727. there is another huge event taking place in central london today. away from the commons, it isa london today. away from the commons, it is a rally, organised by campaign group people's vote. which is calling for a second referendu

the party's deputy leader, ed davey told bbc breakfast about the party's plans.n out of the eu before the election. he wanted to ram his brexit bill through parliament and because of the liberal democrats, that's been stopped. so, we go to this election with britain still in the eu and what the liberal democrats will be saying is — if you want to stop brexit, if you want to keep britain in the eu, if you want all the huge benefits that will bring to our economy and our public services, vote liberal democrat — we are the remain party. let's take a look at how today's front pages are covering the news of a general election. the telegraph leads with "christmas election — corbyn finally bows to johnson's demands". the guardian tells us, "parliament breaks deadlock with a december 12th election", and has a photo of the moment the result of the vote came in, in the commons. the ft talks about the prime minister gaining support from his former tory rebels — with the whip being restored to ten rebels — who chose to back mrjohnson in last night's vote. a "december poll wi

yes we're in new territory davey as you mentioned you know this is the 1st time that a protesters been hit by a policeman's bullet live around you know there had been live rounds fired in the past over the past 4 plus months for just less than 4 months i should say a protest but never hitting a protest of those or warning shots this was a shot directed at a protester as he and the policeman were in there fighting this is kind of a situation where they're cornered and the police and the protesters are fighting kind of hand to hand and then that's when this shot was fired but also what we saw after that what we saw before that on october 1st tuesday was a degree of violence we hadn't really seen kind of in this kind of sustained period over the last several months you know this was really violent it was a protest it was a march that was not sanctioned by the police so the protesters who went out knew they would immediately be breaking the law and the police kept reminding them of that throughout the day on tuesday every time there was kind of a confrontation reminder this is a legal marc

that is ed davey speaking.eed has voted against that option itself. anyway, that is the substance of today's demonstration here around the houses of parliament. what i would like to do before i have another chat with the panel is to look beyond westminster and talk to our correspondent across the united kingdom and in ireland. let's start with our scotland editor sarah smith who is in glasgow. given that the snp have played such a very important parliamentary role in this process, where does today leave the snp as a party, but more importantly where does it leave the scottish government's approach to the brexit episode? the scottish government will be very pleased with this. i spoke to the first minister about brexit and about the process earlier this week and asked her if she really believed she could still stop brexit and she said, while we remain members of the eu she will do everything she can to try to stop us from leaving. although it is a slim hope she thinks there is still a possibility. that is what th

they stuck with it and their manager davey martinez stuck with it. he also, by the way, was treated for a heart condition near the end of the season and missed a couple of weeks as they got ready for the playoff run. so this team has come through so much adversity and another thing you have to talk about is that so many games in the world series, they were behind in elimination games and i think in five elimination games they were rehind and they rallied in all of those games to win and you couldn't ask for a more dramatic series victory than this and a bigger story than just baseball and this nats victory united a very politically divided town in the middle of an impeachment scandal. >> i've been to a lot of the nationals' games and i see democrats and republicans and a lot of folks who don't care about politics, but they all love the washington nationals. brian todd, stick around. we'll have much more news right after this. >>> finally tonight, they say there's no place like home, but the washington nationals are the first-ever team to win the worl

davey.tion of the liberal democrats right now versus the history of your party? ed: we have always been pro-european. this election, we are the party to stop brexit. we think britain is better in the single market, trading with our nearest allies and being open to free trade. that liberal democrat message is appealing. in may of this year, we beat both parties in the u.k. wide election for the first time in 100 years. we can win this election. corbin with 36 years in parliament, you are going to lead the remain charge. how can you coalesce remain forward to this general election? how do you get remain team on board? votersot of conservative feel betrayed by boris johnson and brexit conservative party. brexit is so bad for business and will hit our economy, many normal conservatives are fed up with the conservative party. equally, a lot of normal labor voters who are moderate don't like jeremy corbyn, who is very extreme left-wing. we are the party who can bring people from both the conservat

your book is about modern america and yet it is davey imagining of a 17th—century novel.sands of years earlier, itjust seemed to me that written thousands of years earlier, it just seemed to me that those characters are modern versions of those famous characters, great three, would be very good point to a few characters through which to see a kind of panorama of current american. it would also allow me to write about something else more privately, a father—son relationship. the book has those two dimensions, the private story about family set against a much more sprawling story about the craziness of society. we have to explain the title of your book, because ten minutes 28 second, is the mud of time you break keep working was the heart has stopped beating. for you is that a matter of medicine or a matter of magic? i think in my work i like to combine written culture and oral culture, politics and imagination, so i see it as related. everything is connected. as you said i became very interested in this series of studies that show after the heart has stopped beating the mi

let's cross now to the houses of parliament where we can speak to sir ed davey, deputy leader of thethank you forjoining us. what do you think is going to happen tonight, notjust on the legislation but on the programme motion? view in the tea rooms and the corridors is that the government will get a second reading, but it could be very close. on the timetable motion i think that could be very close and the government could lose that one. the reason is the government is trying to concertina a huge debate ona trying to concertina a huge debate on a massive constitutional change into just three days. i have started reading the bill and it is hugely complicated. there have been quite big changes since theresa may's deal, it is worse than theresa may's deal, it is worse than theresa may's deal, and i think this important bill needs scrutiny. mps from all sides of the house will want to vote down the prime minister's timetable so they can give this the attention it deserves. what did you make of the prime minister's contribution earlier? he said if i do not get the timetable as i propose i

be can see that there would an majority of the justices be ready to read lock versus davey very narrowly. violate the free exercise clause to go and limit state funding beyond that. i'm going to be watching the dynamics on the court in this case. justices kagan and breyer joined the court opinion in the trinity lutheran case. they joined the result in the bladensburg cross case. it is harder to see where the compromise might be in this case. particularly, we will probably talk about the dynamics on the court. the likelihood that the chief justice might be trying to not 5-4 ideologically divided opinions. this might be one where he might see some room to do that. the next case i want to talk about is a case called hernandez versus mesa. a couple ofe court years ago. it is a lawsuit by a mexican family seeking to hold a u.s. boarder patrol agent responsible for the shooting death of their 15-year-old son. the sun was on the mexican side of the border when he was shot by the order patrol agent on the u.s. side of the border. the families argument when they filed their lawsuit was that the e

bowie, the of the party, joanna cherry from the scottish national party. jenny chaplin and sir ed daveye margaret beckett was here a short while ago and she was pretty blunt and said, this is a sham queen's speech, which is a strong statement to make, given it is a programme of legislation. she was saying actually it isn't that, it's a kind of conservative manifesto and it amounts to a bit of a sham in the current circumstances. what is the answer? i completely disagree, respectfully disagree. what we are unveiling today is an ambitious and progressive programme of government. a programme of government that will talk about investing in the nhs, public services, tackling the cost of living, combating violent crime, which is what i think are the priorities of the people, what they wa nt to priorities of the people, what they want to see their politicians getting on dealing with and talking about and not being stuck in this interminable position about how we do not exit the eu without or with a deal. it's time to move on. people wa nt to deal. it's time to move on. people want to move on a

joining me now is the deputy leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey.would be very damaging and so i think it needs to go back to the british people. the liberal democrats have argued consistently that they should be a people's vote on whatever deal that is with the option of remaining and that remains our position. sticking with the original people's vote which is why we are where we are now, it boris johnson which is why we are where we are now, it borisjohnson comes back with something, you will be working on saturday, there could be a vote. is there anything that would make you think this was better than any of the options that realistically we face at the moment? the deal that britain has at the moment in the eu is the best deal we could possibly get. and remember that during the referendum there was no talk of a border down the irish sea. boris johnson in that referendum said britain would stay in the single market. the conservatives and boris johnson have no mandate whatsoever for the sort of deal that is being talked about and that is why libera
