lorna gordon, bbc news, at the court of session in edinburgh.rah smith, is at the court of session in edinburgh for us. first of all, what is the significance of what has happened today? what these judges have said is that they have not explicitly come out and said in terms that they think borisjohnson come out and said in terms that they think boris johnson either lied come out and said in terms that they think borisjohnson either lied to the queen or try to mislead voters, but in essence, hidden in the complex legaljargon, but in essence, hidden in the complex legal jargon, that but in essence, hidden in the complex legaljargon, that is exactly what they are saying. the premise has repeatedly told us that it is perfectly normal for a new government to prorogue parliament and he wasn‘t trying to undermine democracy by doing so. these three judges at scotland‘s highest civil court have essentially said they do not believe him and they think he is trying to undermine parliamentary scrutiny on the way, as the uk is preparing to leave the eu. when

first, edinburgh's court of session accused boris johnson first, edinburgh's court of session accusedhnson of changes tiny parliament are misleading the queen. here's our legal affairs correspondent, clive coleman. constitutional law, dry and dusty? not a bit of it. a prime minister stands accused of misleading the monarch and undermining parliament. the supreme court will have to resolve two dramatically contradictory judgments. scotland's higher civil court ruled that the prime minister's advice to the queen to prorogue was motivated by the improper purpose of stymieing or frustrating parliament during critical weeks before brexit, but the high court in london ruled that proroguing was a political matter and there were no legal standards against which a court could judge it. so the supreme court will have to decide firstly whether proroguing or suspending parliament is a matter for the courts and if it is, they'll have to give a ruling as to whether that advice given by borisjohnson to the queen was unlawful or not, and that will determine whether parliament can sit again in the day

let's talk to our scotland editor sarah smith at the court of session in edinburgh.l about this highly significant ruling that was passed by thejudges significant ruling that was passed by the judges today. yes, fascinating if you look at exactly what the three judges at the court of session actually had to say in their ruling because while it does not explicitly say that boris johnson has either lied to the queen or try to mislead voters, if you drill down into the complex legal jargon, you will say that is pretty much exactly what they are saying. borisjohnson has always maintained it is perfectly normal for a new government to prorogue parliament and that it is nonsense to suggest he is trying to undermine democracy. today, the three judges he is trying to undermine democracy. today, the threejudges in he is trying to undermine democracy. today, the three judges in the court of session basically said that they did not believe him and that they think he is trying to avoid parliamentary scrutiny in the run—up to the uk leaving the eu. they were unanimous in theirfin

and in about an hourfrom glasgow and edinburgh and in about an hour from now glasgow and edinburgh andbe a whole wave of departures to nairobi, abu dhabi, those will begin and then loads of american flights will be rounded and they will not be coming from new york, boston, toronto and some of the flights from miami and los angeles and that is simply nothing to do with a strike because pilots cannot strike while they are abroad. they are simply running out of space to put the ba planes at heathrow. so what are the options for passengers affected? everybody should have been told two weeks ago that their flight was cancelled. thousands of people were told that their flights were cancelled and then they were reinstated, which annoyed a lot of people. yes, you can geta annoyed a lot of people. yes, you can get a refund, rebook, but an awful lot of people have contacted me to say that the obvious like they could be on is on the easyjet from gatwick because ba competes directly with easyjet, and ba have flatly refused to book any flights on easyj et. refused to book any flights on easyjet. so

now, the court in edinburgh has ruled, no, thati5 court in edinburgh has ruled, no, that is unlawful. forthwith, i think there is 110w recalled forthwith, i think there is now going to be an appeal which will be heard, it is understood on tuesday. why that matters is because time is moving on. if the appeal is heard on tuesday, we will already be into the party conference 5ea5on. heard on tuesday, we will already be into the party conference season. in other words, it may be too late by then to recall parliament. so how then to recall parliament. so how the legal system response to this ruling is absolutely pivotal in term5 ruling is absolutely pivotal in terms of the timetable. becau5e ruling is absolutely pivotal in terms of the timetable. because it seems if we get to tuesday and parliament has not been recalled by then, mp5 may have to carry on with then, mp5 may have to carry on with the party conference 5ea5on, even though there were 5ugge5tion5 if parliament had been sitting, they would have cancelled it. but another way of calibrating this, yet again bori5johnson has way of ca

lorna gordon, bbc news, at the court of session in edinburgh.al correspondent clive coleman is here. what does this mean, fundamentally? what does this mean, fundamentally? what it means is that the suspension of parliament, the prorogation of parliament was unlawful and because it was obtained by way of an unlawful purpose, and improper purpose, the court in scotland called it, so the advice given by borisjohnson to the queen, which is at the center of now three legal challenges, that that, in the scottish court, which is a higher court than the court that heard it here in london, in england and wales, and this is an appeal court, that ruling remains. what is interesting is that the government did not seek to suspend that ruling, pending the appeal to the supreme court, so parliament is effectively prorogued. how it could reconstitute itself is an interesting question and we are in uncharted waters. the speakers office said it was a matter for the government. but parliament, effectively, is now not pirogue. we have had some of the reasoned judg

but we should also focus on edinburgh.onally by proroguing parliament. remember, when the suspension of parliament was announced last week, senior government ministers denied it was to prevent mps intervening on a no—deal brexit. here are two examples. the prime minister is going to bring forward a new queen's speech and i will reflect the priorities we have asa will reflect the priorities we have as a government and let the country has as well. there will be lots of time to debate before the 31st of october and parliament will be sitting then and it will have whatever emotions we want. there prompted plenty of scepticism. the speaker of the house of commons. today, in the court in edinburgh, we heard that the prime minister approved plans to prorogue parliament on the 15th august — two weeks before the move became public. and well before number 10 responded had described reports that the prime minister was considering such a move as tbc. here's the lawyer representing the politicians challenging the government. this prime

the university of edinburgh has found itself in the firing line after rolling out his red carpet for a so-called racism conference that has burned white people from asking questions during a q. and a. we will therefore not be given the microphone to by people during the q. nace not because we don't think why people have anything to offer to the discussion but because we want to amplify the voices of people of color if you know white person with a question piece share it with a member of the community all our speakers after the panel discussion. the event was organized by a group called the resisting whiteness collective the organizers say their aim is to raise awareness about the importance of anti racist actions in the u.k. the hosts of the event however have created 2 separate rooms called safe spaces for those who could feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable as one of them barring white people from even entering and bring inversed expressed concern over certain aspects before the event including the safe rooms the universities officials claim the organizers have started reviewing that

goodbye. temperatures of 1a in edinburgh, 25 in london. this is bbc news.uled out. borisjohnson referendum cannot be ruled out. boris johnson says referendum cannot be ruled out. borisjohnson says he is cautiously optimistic and that there is the rough shape of a deal on brexit, but he has been facing a backlash in yorkshire where a heckler told him to get back to parliament. why are you not with them in parliament sorting out the mess that you have created? i am very happy to get back to parliament very soon... but what we want... the irish prime minister says the government's proposals so far fall short and he is not aware of any change in the dup's position on brexit, something reported on earlier on today. the number of people killed as a result of domestic violence is at its highest level for five years. the vast majority of victims were women. a teenager who died from an allergic reaction after eating a burger at byron was misled into thinking his mill was safe for him, thatis thinking his mill was safe for him, that is the verdict of the coroner and
