been there after all of the changes, and i love it, is far less tribal than it is down in the house of commonsalso think women play a very significant role in the house of lords and more in a sense, you are more likely to have women coming up with particular ideas, taking leadership on issues, taking leadership and pieces of legislation, in a way that i don't quite remember from the commons. the commons may have changed as well, but i find that actually it is a very good place for women in this day and age. that would i think surprise a lot of people, if you stopped people in the street and asked them about the house of lords, they will probably say it is full of old white men in funny outfits who don't turn up for work until they have had a very convivial lunch. i think it is a very much more professional body, i think one of the things building on what you was saying about the role of women in the lords is that before i became leader as you mentioned, i was leader from 1998, but before that there had only been one woman leader of the house of lords in the previous a0 years, and she was only

and then david cameron sought consent from the house of commons tojoin sought consent from theh prime minister. will she be able to defend this bunch addresses parliament on monday? critics will argue that she shouldn't have done so without going to parliament first. parliament was in recess and there was a dynamic situation. that is her argument. the attack took place recently, military action has to be planned and doesn't lend itself to debate and house of commons. giving people enough time to prepare of things are whatever you might otherwise targeting? right. shejust you might otherwise targeting? right. she just want to give the appearance of a national crisis, even though there are important things going on. parliament returns on monday. because of the circumstances. she will probably get away with the argument that this had to happen, allies were doing things. she does have the prerogative to initiate military action. there was a convention setup and some of these occasions, such as the vote on iraq and the field fought in 2014. there have also been major decisions that

i take this issue very seriously, the home secretary apologised to the house of commons yesterday for anxiety caused, and i want to apologise to you today. after the meeting, some of those who attended said the british government was slow to act. it is regrettable that the circumstance which we now find ourselves was allowed to get to this far, but nonetheless we want to have a better future. so how did we get to this point? the mv empire windrush arrived in the uk in 1948 with 492 windrush arrived in the uk in 1948 with a92 people on windrush arrived in the uk in i9a8 with a92 people on board. over half a million people from the caribbean we re a million people from the caribbean were invited by the british government to help build the post—war economy. changes to immigration rolls in 1971 meant that those settled in the uk were granted indefinite right to remain, but thought up to 50,000 commonwealth born people may not have registered to prove their right to stay in the uk. the 1999 immigration act safeguarded the windrush generation against the forced removal. but in 201a, these a

she will have to try and overturn that when it comes back to the house of commons. guments about what was going to happen, what pa rliament‘s of arguments about what was going to happen, what parliament's role was going to be but the reality is, these kind of votes by showing exactly where parliament believes itsjob is exactly where parliament believes its job is and exactly where parliament believes itsjob is and some of exactly where parliament believes its job is and some of those rebels, i9 tory rebels in the lords including the likes of michael heseltine but also the pattern and david willetts. —— lord patten. what happens when it gets to the commons will be very interesting, but it will, we will see more of this, this is about parliament exercising its right. will amber rudd be joining those rebels? that will be an interesting one. laughter a couple of other stories. the daily telegraph, this extraordinary presentation by benjamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister, he looked a bit like some open university video from the 19705, as he brings up this presenta

they were speaking during a debate in the house of commons. and another said he'd been targeted for supporting labour's jewish members. our political correspondent, vicki young, has the story. demanding action. jewish groups protesting three weeks ago, urging jeremy corbyn to tackle anti—semitism in his party. you're not socialists. he's admitted there's a problem and apologised for the pain caused. today, he listened to the powerful personal testimony of his ownjewish mps, describing the abuse they'd received on social media from within the labour party. "firstjob forjeremy corbyn tomorrow — expel the zionist, bicom, smear hag bitch ruth smeeth from the party. this ruth smeeth is britannia phobic. we need to cleanse our nation of these types. i have never felt as nervous and frightened as i feel today at being a jew. it feels that my party has given permission for anti—semitism to go unchallenged. denial is not an option. pariahcation is not an option. being a bystander, who turns the other way, is not an option. the time for action is now. jo

the important thing is it appeals to the house of commons as well, there is a majority in the house of that. that is theresa may's insuperable obstacle of the next few months. it was discussed last week, the liaison committee debate. the capanagh the liaison committee debate. the ca pa nagh hasn't discussed the liaison committee debate. the capanagh hasn't discussed it, that's the... stepping back from the issue, the... stepping back from the issue, the individual at the heart of the issue —— the cabinet hasn't discussed it. as a politician she was one of the bright stars of the conservative party. and one of the leading lights of the remain campaign. and then she was theresa may's substitute in the election campaign. she is a politician who was quite fearless, and has, you know, acquitted herself extremely well in many respects. but obviously, running a huge department, a huge dysfunctional department, a huge dysfunctional department like the home office has proved too much for her. is this too much for ever, is this the end of that political career? as she goes back to the backbenche

what the house of lords were telling the house of commons was that they wa nt the house of commons wasey want the so—called meaningful vote that parliament will get in autumn when the final brexit deal has been agreed, they want to beef up that vote to mean far more. they want mps to be able to reject the deal on offer or if they choose to do so, then instructed ministers, the government, what to do next. one of those options could be go back to brussels and get a better deal, continue to talk. that is why this is potentially a very significant move. now, the bill that they are voting on in the house of lords, goes back to the house of commons. so the question is whether mps share this view. if they also want to make this view. if they also want to make this stand. this is part of a really fascinating and important power struggle between parliament and ministers and how brexit should be shaved, what pa rliament‘s ministers and how brexit should be shaved, what parliament's role should be. in the first —— in the last few weeks we've seen mps and peers flexing their muscles demanding mor

let's ta ke let's take you to the house of commons. f commons. he was only appointed a short while ago. here's taking questions about homes and lack of them for people who cannot afford them. two honourable members from right across this house, particularly new members. and you're what a sad loss he is. in response to the question by the honourable lady, i would point to the fact of the £9 billion i have highlighted and also the fact that, in 2016/ 41,530 affordable housing homes were completed, 27% higher than the previous year. i underline the commitments of my predecessor whom i pay tribute to for his work and how we will continue that focus on building homes for the future, building homes and raising those aspirations and affordable homes within that. thank you. that was a big side from someone, you. that was a big side from someone, wasn't it? james brokenshire i up on his feet in the house of commons a few hours after he was appointed to that new role following the departure to the home office by sergei javad after amber rudd stoo

we don't send representatives to the house of commons in the uk or to the house of representatives here just to be carriers of messages. we send them to do a job of work for us. we expect them to go get information, listen to discussion and argument, get the facts, debate, come to a judgment and then act in the interests of the country. well, what i've just described there as the task of a representative of course is highly idealized because our representatives more often representing their own individual interests and the party line, much more than they are the interests of the coun y country, at least on every occasion. and the reason why that has happened is as the franchise has been extended more and more, as the vote has been rolled out to more and more people so that by the early decades of the 20th century most of what we think of as the liberal democracies, i use the term liberal not in your fejortive american sense, by the way, but in the correct european sense of a rational sensible person, that in the western liberal democracies the idea of a universal suffrage for all adult

understood that this would be something that would be favored some kind of discussion at the house of commons to take place which is not something that's expected to necessarily happen this week since technically just pure reasons that the house of commons is recess until monday so it remains to be seen whether or not this is something that is going to take place sooner with m.p.'s being called to vote before that happens so really lots of questions about whether or not there is going to be some kind of unified common response taken by the u.s. france and great britain quite a lot still up in the air artie's on to see a church in the reporting live from london thank you for bringing us that report u.s. shares dropped one percent in pre-market trade on wednesday after trump's syria tweets meanwhile the president's actions have sparked harsh criticism from u.s. senator tim kaine. fifteen months and the trumpet administration has no serious strategy threats tweets one off strikes are not a strategy but eighteen russia is not a strategy this is why congress needs to reassert control over war powe

this afternoon, it was a political football in the house of commons. hen home secretary, sign of that decision? no. the decision to destroy the landing cards was taken in 2009 under a labour government. all of this has obviously been grim for the windrush generation. there may be other concerns for the future ban it raises. specifically, what will happen to eu nationals currently living in the uk after brexit? you see, it is quite likely that after we leave the european union, eu citizens who come after brexit date will have different rights to eu citizens who arrived in britain before that day. one big task, for the states — the home office in particular — will be working at which people going to which group, similar to what had to happen with the windrush generation. the home office have proved very bad at that administrative task as well as heartless towards people who did not keep the decades of paperwork required to help the home office make that determination. the home office will be going out of their way to design a system that will be as easy—t

she also promised to make a statement in the house of commons on monday. et said the prime minister had full confidence in the home secretary, and conservative mps have rallied around her with statements of support. labour are keeping up pressure on amber rudd to resign, saying that she is hanging by a thread to shield the prime minister. jonathan blakejoins me now. where does this leave her if she says she never saw the memo and michael gove says it was never even in the red box, the document ministers take home with them at night and go through? her explanation is that she did not see the memo, but it was sent to her office, as many documents were, and we have had a little bit of further explanation around that from the environment secretary michael gove this morning, making the point that when documents are placed in front of the home secretary that should be placed in front of the home secretary, rather, that can't, it is sad and in his words regrettable, but he also made the point that there are many documents copied into cabinet ministers and their mo

a problem with this question of the customs union because she doesn't have a majority in the house of commonsoesn't have a majority in her own party on that in the house of commons. although the party in the country is a different matter. so, yes, i think her problems there have certainly increased. i thought sebastian made an important point about the way amber rudd seems to have been attacked from within her own department by civil servants lilly king. as a former civil servant, ruth, as you just told us what is your view? where are the lea ked what is your view? where are the leaked documents coming from? —— civil servants leaking.|j leaked documents coming from? —— civil servants leaking. i suspect this is the state of things to come, if people are in the civil service and they don't agree with a minister they leaked documents, which as far asi they leaked documents, which as far as i was concerned, was something you never, ever, ever did, ifany leaks took place it was the ministers themselves who used to leak it, not the civil servants. that is a sort of generational shift. thinking abou

do you think there will be any point out in a retrospective vote in the house of commons through someifferent because there was the real reason for emergency action because of the to human life, here we are talking about serious situation but not quite at the end of last week but even so a retrospective vote of approval would make sense and instead we are stuck with the government bringing forward an emergency debate that does not have a vote at the end of it all if so is not particularly meaningful because it basically has the house of commons discuss the issue. the government is deliberately choosing not to have a vote, they chose that when they decided not to recall parliament and in putting forward the emergency debate today in urgency. absolutely parliament could have been recalled in time to discuss this at the end of last week but even so a retrospective vote of approval would make sense and instead we are stuck with the government bringing forward an emergency debate that does not have a vote at the end of it all if so is not particularly meaningful because it basically has th

theresa may does not have a majority in the house of commons. labour leadership is certainly opposed to this action and would vote against it. i think a number of labourmps would vote against it. i think a number of labour mps would vote with the government, but the numbers are dicey and there is no guarantee she would get their approval. there was a time imperative, it seems, and president trump i think, certainly, led on the timetabling of the strike. but theresa may does not and will not risk a defeat in parliament on this. thank you to ben wright joining us live from downing street. in the past howard the secretary—general has been giving a briefing at nato headquarters in brussels saying all the nato allies we re brussels saying all the nato allies were supportive. all nato allies expressed full support for last night's actions. it was intended to degrade the syrian regime's chemical weapons capabilities. and to deter further chemical weapons attacks against the people of syria. nato strongly condemns the repeated use of chemical weapons ei

i hope now there is a full debate in the house of commons and there is an agreement from the prime ministeria, and is that's —— and that includes... chemical weapons have been used on british soil in salisbury on these skripals and this was action she said against the normalisation of chemical weapons. it's dangerous and these two situation should not be conflated. the use of chemical agents is a common feature, but beyond that we had to be careful. i gave the prime minister my support in terms of the action she took in the wake of the salisbury attack. she made the case that the most likely instigator of that the most likely instigator of that attack was the russian state and if there was any doubt, in those circumstances she deserved the benefit of that doubt and that's why i gave her support, but we have to judge the situation is on their merits and first and foremost we have tojudge the merits and first and foremost we have to judge the action we take on the basis of its efficacy and whether it will help the situation or, andi whether it will help the situation or, and i accept that in

british policy was somehow rented out to the white house but i think illustrates just how out of touch the m.p. so many of the m.p.'s of in the house of commons certainly the government is seems to me all very much out of touch and according to some of the opinion polls that i've seen the overwhelming majority by margin around two to one actually support the position that has been taken by jeremy corbyn on this issue we need to calm heads in situations like this not hot heads i'm afraid that this government is being led by a bunch of hot heads who are actually puts. the national interest in jeopardy far from actually protecting as like claiming the journalist peter oborne has been on this show for the daily mail rode a piece opposing the war quoting what is on robin cook's grave stone that in effect may not have stopped the iraq war of twenty three but he did make it mandatory for a political vote on military action what do you think of what was written on robin cook the former labor foreign secretaries grave well in the in the light of what's happened well clearly trees mais as a structure of the the legacy that was left by robin cook and ce

considering how easily this bill really got to the house of commons, the fact out that the house of lordsant even though in the end i think the government will be really confident in being able to overturn any defeat they suffered in the house of lords. there may be some views outside of the uk who are the news that a group of people who aren't elected are getting involved in something that's been done by a group of people who represent an electorate which chose to get out of the eu. and that is a complaint and an argument that you heard from in the house of lords today opposed to this amendment. who argued that there is no place in the house of lords to be challenging this referendum results really uncertainly a bill that had already been scrutinised in the house of commons. you're completely right, thatis commons. you're completely right, that is one of the arguments made today by some tory peers who think it's outrageous really for the house of lords to be trying to shape the course of brexit but, a strong majority of peers disagree and they did in strictest defeat on the government an
