arrested william taylor and i just want to read to you from the article of impeachment in front of the in front of the. house of house of commons because it so telling here's what article one of the said it said understanding that one william taylor did intend to stand for the election of one of the burgesses of the borough of windsor to serve in this present parliament in other words he was running as a member of parliament this is what morten did to disparage and prevent the free election of the said william taylor and strike at terror into those of the said borough which should give their voices for him and deprive them of the freedom of their voices at the election by count mordant did command and cause the said william taylor to be forceful really illegally and arbitrarily seized upon by soldiers and then he detained him in other words he went after a political opponent and that was a high crime or misdemeanor to use your office to go after a political opponent. now professor gary hart does a high crime and misdemeanor require an actual statutory crime no. it plainly does not everything we know about the history of impeach

you can see on the picture black rod escorting the father of the house of commons out of the house ofhamber and there, they will select or confirm the selection committee election of the new speaker. and then,in election of the new speaker. and then, in about one hour's time, the whole process will be repeated, where the speaker will present himself for approbation. so, the father of the house and black rod. black rod, at this stage, takes her leave. and the father of the house leads all the mp5 back into the house of commons chamber. and a smiling borisjohnson, house of commons chamber. and a smiling boris johnson, prime minister, of course, alongside a less smileyjeremy corbyn as they head back to the chamber. and this is where politics will start to kick in and it gets a bit livelier one suspects once they are back in the chamber. well, funnily enough, not. because the first thing that needs to happen once not only the ceremony, but the next one, the approval of the speaker has taken place, only then can the mp5 be sworn in. and until mps have been sworn in. and until mps have been

house of lords. he will walk through to the house of commons and have the door slammed in her face, house of commons slammed in herface, traditionally to show the independence of the house of commons. so the ceremony and tradition states that any but, inside the chamber, things look different this time. the largest conservative contingent for a very long time. not since margaret thatcher won the election with a 101 seat election in 1987 has the conservative party been in sucha 1987 has the conservative party been in such a strong position. boris johnson wasjust 22 in such a strong position. boris johnson was just 22 at the time. johnson was just 22 at the time. john major's of unexpected victory over neil kinnock in 1992 left him with a slender majority, which was eroded as the conservatives argued about europe. in 1997, tony blair led to a landslide win, ending 18 yea rs of led to a landslide win, ending 18 years of conservative dominance with a staggering 178 seat majority. new dawn has broken, has it not? blair's new labour was based on what he called a third way, a blend of free—market economics

leave the eu at the end of january because the withdrawal bill has been passed, there are more stages for to go through in the house of commons and the laws, but thatis house ofi parekh from the federation of small businesses. clearly the message from business or through the process has been that you are looking for certainty —— all. do you have any certainty? we have certainty in terms of the immediate short—term and it now looks very likely that the withdrawal agreement bill will pass through parliament and that will mark the end of the first phase of the brexit process. that is incredibly important for small businesses, and when we polled and surveyed members before the election we found that small business sentiment was in negative territory for the sixth consecutive quarter. only one in seven small businesses expected to increase their capital investment in the immediate future and only 23% of small—business exporters believed that their international sales would be increasing, so short—term certainty is incredibly important. what difference does it make if you are talking about from now until this time next year, basically? throughout the course of the

of all, the different makeup of m.p.'s sitting on the famous green benches of house of commons, how might this change proceedings today? >> well, it will change proceedings completely. this is a completely different house of commons. this is very much the one wanted by boris johnson. he wants to put the paralysis, the political impasse, bitterness all behind this parliament, all behind the united kingdom. he says he wants to unite the united kingdom. he says it's time to forget remain and leave. those are old words that no longer should apply. so he wants all that rancor to be behind everybody and there is no doubt that with the 80-seat majority concretely, but 87 plus in sinn fein do take their seats, he really got a very comfortable margin by which we expect this withdrawal agreement bill to pass i its second readi today, and this is very much a full steam ahead, boboris johns, who on the back of the queen's speech talking about this withdrawal agreement bill and then also the money being plowed into the national health service, infrastructure and australian immigration system really wants to be seen, particularly in the first 100 days, to be hitting the ground running. so while the rest of the unite

they borrowed the concept of impeachment from england but with one enormous difference. the house of commons and the house of lords could use impeachment in order to limit the ministers of the king. they could not impeach the king and in that sense the king was above the law. in stark contrast, the framers from the very outset of the constitutional convention in 178 7 made it clear the president would be subject to impeachment in order to demonstrate that the president was subordinate to the law. if you will, i would like you to think now about a specific date in the constitutional convention, july 20th, 1787. it was the middle of a long hot summer. on that day, two members of the constitutional convention actually moved to take out the impeachment provision from the draft constitution. they had a reason for that and the reason was they said the president will have to stand for reelection. if the president has to stand for reelection that is enough. we don't need a separate provision for impeachment. when that proposal was made, significant disagreement ensued. the governor of north carolina, a man called wi

impeachment enquiry, parliament prorogued, we had a vote in the house of commons which resulted in no election and a vote in the house ofresulted in no election, they were at a vote for an election, they a navy secretary who went at the washington nationals one. i was involved at that. the washington nationals one, the highlight for ron christie. washington nationals one, the highlight for ron christiem washington nationals one, the highlight for ron christie. it makes me exhausted just looking at that. i think i will go back to senegal. i knew there was a reason to be away. we also learn about quid pro quo. i give you something, you give me something. three months on! for many monday has offered a brief respite from the wet and windy conditions. it will be short lived. we have been either a transit ridge of high pressure which built in from the west, but look what is waiting in the wings. turning a milder, you can see this wedge of miles in city in the atlantic, but with that comes wet and windy conditions. for many it has been a fine end to the day, clear skies certainly initially as we head into the overnight period.

of the house of commons, as we do so often, and that was the dup dominating. there is an issue, too, that withdrawal bill, if that is put through the house of commons bya is put hen thatis representing england and wales then that is putting pressure on the union. we have the snp dominant in scotland and presumably a second referendum being rejected by boris johnson against their will, and this bill and johnson against their will, and this billand an johnson against their will, and this bill and an agreement affecting everybody in northern ireland, including businesses, that being put through the house of commons against the wishes of people in northern ireland, it is incredibly unpopular with everyone there. so how united is the united in the uk? we shall see. talking of which the picture in scotla nd see. talking of which the picture in scotland has changed, let's have a look at the state of the parties in scotland. it is nearly 7am, the state of the parties in scotland is looking like this. the snp 13 gains on a8 seats, the conservatives losing seven seats in scotland, unlike all the gains they've made elsewhere. the lib dems on four, losing jo swinson. labo

of the future is getting more and more difficult. who would have thought the house of commons could break down into pressure groups operating like the house of representatives without the representatives as part of a system of checks and balances well -- while britain is placed under a system that requires consensus for its operation? what ai does is inject a new level of reality, a new level of perceiving reality. perceiving reality. most people don't understand that yet. most people don't know what it is, but i think those of you who work on it are pioneers in an inevitable future, and when we think the defense department about the future, this is a huge problem because, increasingly, ai will help shape the approaches to problems. for example, i was in office problem because, increasingly, in the period of -- it started with massive retaliation and developed into various applications, but the key problem we faced in actual crisis and security advisor, how do you threaten with nuclear weapons without triggering a preemptive strike? as the weapons themselves became more esoteric even in terms of the 1970's, when we moved to fixed land-based

that is why we could not support his deal, we blocked his deal in the house of commons and we will use our buy votes again in the house ofright. how will you adapt to these new realities? in terms of negotiation, i don't think geoffrey's team have delivered what was expected. they've delivered what was expected. they've delivered chaos and uncertainty. in their own literature they are telling everybody the union is in peril. we know how it got there, they put it there. so it is your fault. in terms of how we would respond to the situation where boris gets a majority and drives his bill through, we have to say those government conservatives, i think we should look for mitigations in terms of protections that we have been sitting along the northern ireland so sitting along the northern ireland so there are no hard borders anywhere these islands. notjust a land border or a sea border, so we need to work with them manager whatever checks are required i going to be minimised. we also need to look at our economy and the opportunities for us to be able to grow our economy, that requires investment. that has fallen behind in the

the bill has to be marked up by a committee in the house of commons and voted one more time next month. okayed by the upper house ofiament. we should see it meet the deadline of january 31st and then some people, jon, say the hard part begins. negotiating trade deals with the rest of the world including the u.s. but president trump has promised to his friend, boris johnson, that he will help on that score. >> sandra: meanwhile an influential evangelical magazine say president trump should be removed from office. we'll tell you what the president is saying in response. >> jon: you have heard a lot about impeachment lately. it's been a long road full of twists and turns. how exactly did we get here? a look back up next as we wrap up a historic week. >> an absolutely perfect call, you know it, they all know it. nothing was said wrong in that call to impeach the president of the united states for that is a disgrace and it is a mark on our country. have you ever worked with dr. francis? oh yeah, he's ok. just ok? guess who just got reinstated! well, not officially. nervous? yeah. yeah me too. don't worry about it, we'll

of things. a huge amount of changes of personnel in the house of commons. the results means sir peter bottomley, who entered the commons in 1975, has now become the father of the housee momentum type people have realised thatjeremy corbyn momentum type people have realised that jeremy corbyn and momentum type people have realised thatjeremy corbyn and momentum is them have lost momentum and they should lose jeremy them have lost momentum and they should losejeremy corbyn. i think he will stand after however they stay on for a period of reflection. in my town hall and were think about where both the mp5 did pretty well, isaid where both the mp5 did pretty well, i said that the old—style labour people were good and momentum should leave town. it was pointed momentum started shouting and totally ruin the mood. they just started shouting and totally ruin the mood. theyjust had no self control. i think the present speaker is someone who will have a different approach from the previous speaker. there are many good things to say about jumper, but i there are many good things to say aboutjumper, but i hope there will get they say about the present speaker and i think will w

so, we will wait until the house of commons does its work and the house of lords and then go throughown procedures. but it should be possible to complete this within the time frame. >> yeah, and you just heard my best, marie, we expect that to be smooth sailing giving the numbers that he has. looking further ahead though in terms of the relationship with europe and any trade deals or negotiations with europe, do you think it's realistic that 11 months it can be done? >> well, i'm going to say that depends because for the first time in a trade negotiation, we would have a country wanting to diverge from regulations that it's been with us on for the last number of decades. and therefore we don't know how much the prime minister will want to move away from our current standards, rules, and regulations. if he's willing to stay close on these issues, then perhaps we could have a rapid trade deal. i'm not so sure that's what's in his mind. and perhaps with this large majority, he may decide to pull further away. that might make it very difficult to complete a trade agreement by the end of

house of commons debate on the brexit bill. queen elizabeth ii: my lords and members of the house of commons, my government's priority is to deliver united kingdom's departure from the european union on 31 january. my ministers will bring forward legislation to ensure the united kingdom's exit on that date and

of the american impeachment proceedings come from old british parliamentary practice. and it used to be the case that sometimes the house of lords would just dismiss impeachment articles that would come out of the house of commons. so actually by holding back these articles until you can be guaranteed the trial will happen was the practice of sort of 18th century british parliamentary practice as well. so i don't know if nancy pelosi has cracked open the history books or she just sees the rules in front of her and is able to use them as best she can, but that's what she's trying to do. she's trying to ensure that this is not going to be a trial that gets dismissed within the first week. you make opening arguments and it closes the same week. she wants this to be a proper trial. she wants these witnesses to be heard, and she wants this to be able to go on as long as it can to shape the public understanding of what's happened with respect to ukraine. >> right. when you say shape public understanding, we know that mr. trump's approval rating went up on the day of impeachment. so that will be interesting to watch the public's reaction as this goes forward. we always appreciate your comments. richard johnson, thanks

house of commons friday. before the election, both johnson and his predecessor theresa may had a terrible time trying to get there brexit deals through the house ofns. all that has now changed. vonnie: what happens to the backstop safety net. tim: the backstop was stripped out in the deal he struck before the election in october with the eu, but what is going to happen next is obviously that vote will go through the house of commons, and those hardliners don't have much power these days. so if you are a passionate euro skeptic conservative member of parliament, you don't really get before over what johnson can do. he has a lot of power on whether to go for a softer brexit, stick to his existing plan, or go even further towards a hard brexit. vonnie: in other words, we see a customs border down the irish sea, a bit of a fudge situation about customs and border protection. --that situation -- it has is that how the situation works? tim: i think we will have to see. i think the most interesting question is what happens with the future of the european union. what kind of trade deal does boris johnson pursue? would it american companies to come in and

of the last general election 2017. here inside our virtual house of commons, you remember the disastrous bungle by theresa may's conservatives had led them losing david cameron's majority. 326 mps needed for majority in house ofa 650 mps, they got three 108. so fell short. they got a long way back, labour. 262, and the snp, 432 and so on, but the key figure of the night was this one on the wall, which is that the conservatives under theresa may were short by age, so on paper, in this election, 2019, all the conservatives need to do is gain eight seats. let's bring on the swingometer and see how difficult that would be. it shows you one party in relation to another. if they both stay exactly as they were, last time, than the swing is zero. if you imagine a head—to—head race, between two parties, the swing shows you where the votes are going. so what sort of swing do the conservatives require? just to gain eight seats. let's have a look. it's tiny. just about half of 1%. a swing into labour territory games the conservatives there's eight seats and, in theory, an overall majority but of course, they would need to not lose any seats either. and that isa not lose any seats either. and that is a bit ofa not lose an
