have falle n economics of independence have fallen apart.e of the oil price... and brexit... collapse of the oil price... and brexit. .. still more fundamental and is to currency. you mentioned brexit and that is interesting because nicola sturgeon is using brexit to make the case for independence but she can't tell us whether scotland would automatically stay a member of the european union, would we have to be applied, or would we have a norway style arrangement? the different deals depending on the flavour of the week. she will do anything to pursue the case of independence and we have seen that today, by ignoring the will of the people of scotland. in what sense is she ignoring the will of the people scotland's she is a very clear mandate from last year's election. if we stop respecting the outcome of parliamentary processes and think they are in trouble. i am in no doubt... what about respecting referendums? people in 2014 said no. chose to leave the european union and both of those decisions had to be respected and it is my party that w

we will not seek to introduce the legislation for an independence referendum immediately. opponents argue that the snp's obsession with independence has drained support for ms sturgeon. she appears to be in denial about her mistakes over this last year. and, as a result, is leaking credibility and confidence in her leadership by the hour. we'll be asking where this leaves the drive for scottish independence. also tonight... now it's nearly 100 tower blocks that fail fire tests — ministers ask experts to give immediate advice. little charlie gard is terminally ill — his parents lose their final legal battle to give him experimental maxing out our credit cards — a warning from the bank of england about forgetting the lessons of the past. google faces a record fine from the eu competition watchdog, over £2 billion, for being unfair to other companies. and coming up in sportsday on bbc news, england's women post a record—breaking total of 377 in their world cup match against pakistan. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon ha

you might get independent. it's not like a rigid party defined system a the caller is worried about. i say about multimember districts. as recently as the 1950's, 40 state have multimember districts. my state still has multimember districts. most cities have it. the idea having more than one representative, it makes sense when you trying to be represented and having only one person by definition will leave a lot of people out. guest: bill need to check out the fair representation act. it's nothing like the israeli elected through party proportional system. you vote for a party and not the person. we have in the united states, we vote -- i vote for the person, not the party. fair representation act allows voters to check both for the person and not the party. the thresholds are a lot higher. it will be 25% threshold to get elected. israel elects their national assembly at large. host: you hear two guests, krist novoselic fair vote here's the chair. rob richie is here to talk about fair election reform elections.

but you say it is different because of the in the vessel -- independent counsel?. >> but the core itself to the administrative agency that have civil enforcement power just like this one just like the ftc. so what could be more powerful to indict the highest officials?. >> that is correct and is the jurisdiction it is much more powerful in terms of the ability to impair the power of the president the independent counsel was much more threatened and this zero. >> judge tatel, we simply object to restricting of a president's power faithfully to execute in the independent counsel statute from the cftc but what they said with a free enterprise fund whenever those limitations were, they are not before us because they have not asked us. >> we're the appeals court and bound by supreme court precedent. and i have not seen an argument in your brief, even if i did read that there is a serious risk for the removal provisions. even if i agreed with you i don't see how as a judge on the appeals court found by morrison and humphries i can go there. i don't see where this court t

but at the same time, this is not the old independent counsel. this is a special counsel that does fit in to the executive branch and ultimately the president is in charge of discharging the full menu of executive jobs. >> yeah. and so it's not a question about whether or not he could achieve it. and then rod rosenstein would do the job and -- >> politically, what would it mean. >>> >> >>>. >> i think it would mean that republicans would melt away from this president. you know, you could also -- this is another scenario. you could also go back to the congress. i mean, i understand that the congress is controlled by republicans. but you could always go back to the congress and pass an independent counsel law, which is what they had before who was totally independent and could not be fired by the president and that law took effect, i believe, as a result of ken star starr. >> well, as a result of the saturday night massacre. >> so that if congress were outraged enough by it in a bipartisan way, they could always pass a law about it. >> matthew, i'v

and then you've got the independent counsel. while meanwhile the financial services committee brought this bank regulatory reform bill to the floor tomorrow. so, we're sitting he doing our jobs, focusing on fixing people's problems, while these investigations are also being conducted. so, the point i'd say is -- i think the president was pretty frustrated obviously. i think that fleshes that out he was told three times he wasn't the subject of investigation. so he's very frustrated with it. but that does n't cloud us up here in congress. we've always had investigations of various issues while we simultaneously work on legislation. we were on a coherent agenda, how to get people out of poverty, get people back to work, get the economy in faster wage growth. one this is one of the crown jewels of our economic platform. we've been working on it many years, working on it this year and bringing it to the floor to pass it. it is proof we are doing the things people asked us to do while we do this other oversight work which congress is

she was trying to focus less on a second independence referendum and more on theissue independence referendumd more on the issue of brexit going forward. the opposition unionist parties at holyrood however decided to focus more on the possibility of a second referendum rather than brexit. ruth davidson, the leader of the scottish conservatives, said that nicola sturgeon was singing the same old song to the same old tune. the issue we have had this last year has been with a first minister who has tried to use the uk's decision to leave the european union to try and impose another referendum on independence on scotland at the earliest opportunity. no once in a generation, no edinburgh agreement of respecting the result, just a single—vision drive to the line by nicola sturgeon to try and secure her place in history. and as her own msps have accepted, that decision cost her 21 seats and the support of half a million scottish voters in the general election. yes voters and no voters, most people simply don't want this brought back any time soon. and none of the questions, none of the questions tha

plans for a second referendum on scottish independence are put on hold. scotland's first minister has had a re—think after the snp lost 21 seats in the general election. the scottish government will reset the plan i set out on march 13th. we will not seek to introduce the legislation for an independence referendum immediately. opponents say the snp's obsession with independence has drained support for nicola sturgeon. she appears to be in denial about her mistakes over this last yearand, as a result, is leaking credibility and confidence in her leadership by the hour. we will ask how much of a setback it is for nicola sturgeon. it's emerged london firefighters warned councils about the risks of using panels to clad tower blocks just weeks before the grenfell fire. google is hit with a record fine by the european commission — more than £2 billion — for breaking competition laws. the parents who wanted to take their terminally—ill son to america for experimental treatment have lost their final legal battle. frozen computers and ransom demands — a large—scal

counselors who are 100% independent. that was a determination made with a legislator. i know the folks at the department who drafted this under general reno and they drafted it to deal with this type of circumstance. the idea was there would be some circumstance because of unusual events. it was appropriate, not some way like pat fitzgerald who could be fired, but summary from outside the department who could be trusted to conduct this independently and could be given an appropriate degree of independence. under the regulation, he has adequate authority to conduct this investigation and your ultimate check is the integrity of the people involved, and the fact that if he were overruled or if you are fired, we would be required on the regulation report to the congress. i believe that's important. theoretically, anybody could be fired. there is a potential -- i am confident that director mueller, mr. mccabe and i and anybody else who may fill those positions in the future will protect the integrity of an investigation. that

line for independents. michael, good morning. caller: i'm calling on the shooting that happened this morning. people blame one or the other side. it boils down to just people that are hate -- they hate each other. until we all learn to love one another in the eyes of god or whoever we trust and believe in, things are not going to change. one of the biggest things politicians on both sides is keep your word because when you go against someone's word you lose all value in the eyes of people that are for you or against you. and i think if we would learn to respect one another, especially respect those that are smaller than you instead of looking above, i'm talking about human, not god, we are not going to change in this world until we learn to love and have each other's friends. friends only that's going to make it. host: appreciate the call. for more on updates on what happened this morning in the wake of that shooting, we go down to our news desk now and bill. good morning. >> hey, john. it's safe to say the congressional baseball

onto the independent, the caliphate has fallen, the headline. very striking photos.ive picture on the front of the independent, and also covered in more depth in the arab news, where they've got an interview with a syrian american analyst around, what does this mean? it's quite a totemic moment where the mosque in mosul, also being taken back, although it is the ruins of it, having been destroyed by daesh, and, is this a milestone, a landmark moment? the question is being asked — the end of daesh? the answer has to be known. this is not a time for any kind of celebration or anybody saying this isa celebration or anybody saying this is a milestone victory. the analyst says, quite rightly, that this organisation has morphed, and it's trying to become an underground, global movement, if it hasn't already. we all appreciate this. we only have to look at the way terrorist attacks are, if not organised, then inspired by the rhetoric that this organisation seeks to put out all over the world. so it may have moved from that physical entity that was looking to have that geogr

independent. good morning. director comey: actually, i just wanted to -- caller: i wanted to say i'm not a democrat or republican individual. i'm a 62-year-old human being. very sorry it happened. i just want to comment that i believe here breeds hate. if you calm the fear by working for the people and the country first, and take to heart the constitution, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, secure liberty. what i have watched and seen over the past number of years is we have a republican-controlled congress that has ignored and refused any action towards the dysfunction and discord inflicted upon the american citizens by the trump administration. instead they are trying to use trump as a means to an end, their end being an ideology vision not shared by the majority of american citizens. and what has happened today is the inevitable end to trump and their means. unfortunately, it could possibly just be a beginning. don't know. i have been

you've talked about being independent. how can you when you may need their help against a well-funded republican opponent in the next election, should you win? mr. ossoff: there is indeed a clear contrast in this race, as secretary handel said. i will be a fresh independent voice for this district. secretary handel on the other hand is a career politician who has run six times for five different offices. the last two major responsibilities she had as secretary of state, she quit the job early to seek higher office as so many career politicians do. her last major responsibility in the private sector, at the komen foundation, she quit. she resigned in disgrace amidst a scandal of her effort to defund life saving breast cancer screenings at planned parenthood. and in secretary handel, you quote, "i embrace that i led the project." that project being to defund breast cancer screenings at planned parenthood. the last few weeks you avoided responsibility. i think you should take responsibility for what you did and explain to the

but the truth is the threat of an unwanted second independence referendum is dead.appen because nicola sturgeon wanted it to, the people of scotland have taken that decision for her. but the first minister is digging her heels in, putting herfingers in her ears and pressing on regardless. she is just not listening. if she wants to prove she has listened, the first minister should trigger a vote in this chamber which would rule out another independence referendum in this parliamentary term. willie rennie. well back at westminster, the snp attempted to instigate a debate on the controversial deal struck between the conservatives and the northern irish democratic unionist party. the deal came earlier this week after days of on—off talks, some of it in downing street, involving the dup leader arlene foster and theresa may. in return for the dup supporting the conservatives in commons votes, one billion pounds will be made available for infrastructure in northern ireland in areas such as health, education and broadband. the snp said the agreement needed some urgent discu

i worked for an independent council and worked in the department during the independent counsel era when they were appointed by authorization of the senate. they were appointed by federal judges and they had the authority equivalent to the attorney general. that statute sunseted and the majority of members of this body concluded that that was appropriate because they did not want independent counsels who were 100% independent of the department of justice. that was a determination made by the legislature. now, i know the folks at the department who drafted this regulation under janet reno and they drafted to deal with this type of circumstance. and the idea was that there would be some circumstances where because of unusual events, it was appropriate to appoint somebody from outside the department, not somebody like pat fitzgerald who is a u.s. attorney who could be fired but somebody from outside the department who could be trusted to conduct this investigation independently and given an appropriate degree of independence. now, under the regulation, he has i believe adequate authority to

i think independence movement in hong kong. ithinki independence movement in hong kong.hat movement has never been a mainstream movement has never been a mainstream movement in the city, and in fact, according to a series of opinion polls, young people especially seem to have less support for the independence movement than they had even a year ago. but certainly this is something the chinese government is something the chinese government is quite worried about. they wouldn't want to see these kinds of sentiment saw movement like this really slow or infect some of its other special or administrative territories, so this is definitely something the chinese government is extremely concerned about, and that was widely seen as the pretext under which two pro—independence lawmakers we re which two pro—independence lawmakers were ousted from their seats last year. and there's also some concern from the americans, urging the chinese to respect civil liberties in hong kong. what has been the reaction from beijing? that's right. this is a statement from the us state department tha

we will talk a lot more about independence. it isa talk a lot more about independence.tland. and the whole idea of the independence vote. what is going on in your mind? any social issue. social collusion isa any social issue. social collusion is a massive issue. anything that affects social cohesion and the impact of brexit on small business. when you say that, you talking about migration? i am talking about everything that influences how well we get along as a group of people. it could be poverty or mental health. any issue that creates social unrest. good morning. what is playing on your mind ahead of the election? the key issues for me are equality and the impact of poverty. lama equality and the impact of poverty. i am a teacher at a local high school. we are seeing every day pupils who are affected by government cuts. as teachers, we are having to manage that and tried to re move having to manage that and tried to remove all barriers regarding education. it is a trickyjob. we're up education. it is a trickyjob. we're up for it. others like to see what the other par

it's so much better if it's independent. once something that's been fact checked, so be the end of it. all that does, it confuses the public. somebody mentioned that people have such a short span. i feel like that's true. we learn something and we understand it. the next person starts talking it, we start it again. guest: there's a great danger for what you're suggesting. it sounds good on face value. you do not want a group of bureaucrats or independents people deciding what is true and what isn't true. the american people have made that decision. i would urge you to go back and to the internet look up thomas jefferson second inaugural. if you think donald trump criticizes the press too much or angry about the press, read what thomas jefferson said about the press. he says, they are guilty of lies, vicious slander. he had been the subject of that especially in this second campaign for president. his response was, he said, you know what, at the end of the day, if you have an informed citizenry, that is the best bulwark for s

becker sturgeon has backtracked on demands for a second independence referendum.lt. nicola sturgeon may not look like a woman thwarted, but she cannot now march ahead with her plans for an independence referendum — admitting today that voters have rejected that idea and she has had to think again. having listened and reflected, the scottish government will reset the plan i set out on march the 13th. we will not seek to introduce the legislation for an independence referendum immediately. instead, we will, in good faith, redouble our efforts and put our shoulder to the wheel in seeking to influence the brexit talks in a way that protects scotland‘s interests. we will seek to build... she wants to keep open the option of a referendum after the brexit deal is cleared. the tories want her to abandon her plans completely. i'm afraid to say that that statement will fail to give any assurance to those people that this first minister is listening to them. instead, she appears to be in denial about her mistakes over this last year and, as a result, is leaking credibility a

it is the independents you have to convince.he needs to start training younger people that will be a little more levelheaded about politics. you cannot promise to give away our wealth to the world. i would not apologize for being successful. other countries want to be successful, do like we do, freedom. host: jerry from detroit, michigan, democratic line. caller: good morning and greetings from motown. host: what is your view? caller: i think that secretary clinton should continue to be a voice. just because she lost does not mean she has to disappear from the scene, never to be seen or heard from again. i think she needs to be a voice, to speak out, not only against donald trump, but also the angry bunkers whorchie support him. my beef is not so much with donald trump himself but like what i just bunkers said, the or white callers who i call archie bunkers of the republican party. she needs to be against what i think are the draconian policies of this administration, especially of this -- what i think is an anti-black justice d

we need independent leadership. >>host: you said you weren't there yet on impeachment. >> ossof: we are still not there yet. we need congressional overseers to go after it and that is aggressively. >> ossof: 30 seconds to respond. >> handel: the investigation is underway. going around and calling for things on the campaign trail is nothing but a bunch of platitudes with all due respect. we have four different investigations underway. it is imperative that we get to the bottom of exactly what happened with facts, not anonymous leaks, sources and innuendo with real facts so that then we can take whatever action, as tough as this is, needed under the circumstances of what actually occurred. >>host: jon ossof says he is not there yet. we won't go through hypotheticals but impeachment off the table for you should the facts show the president obstructed justice? >> handel: i will let the facts take us to where the appropriate action should be. >>host: we will go to foreign-policy question, this is the sixth congressional

you say you want independence to take us back into the european union. will not barter away our fishing resources to join the eu or a single market? applause i and the snp and people before me in the snp have argued against the common fisheries policy, we have argued for it to be scrapped or fundamentally reformed. it is the tories time after time after time that have sold—out scottish fisherman and believe it, they are shaping up to do it all over again. thank you very much, i'm afraid you are right time. ladies and gentlemen, thanks to nicola sturgeon. applause that is all we have got time for tonight. david is back on friday, the night after the election, for a special programme. until then, from us here in edinburgh, from me and the first minister, thank you for watching. applause. hello there. with heavy rain and some strong winds in the forecast, you could well see some disruption to travel over the next 2a hours. there could be lying surface water around and the strength of the wind perhaps strong enough to down to some small trees. we have low pr

she asked, would mueller have full independence?e put this in writing that regardless of what anyone would say, mueller would have full independence? and rosenstein didn't really answer the question. so, it does not reassure me that paul ryan has full confidence in bob mueller. paul ryan just, you know, orchestrated a vote to end too big to fail and dodd/frank. so i don't have full confidence what paul ryan has to say. i'm very concerned about donald trump, because this is a guy that, you know, came to prominence over a couple things, but namely, over the phrase "you're fired." so, if anybody thinks that what's going on on the hill today is going to affect donald trump's thought process, i think you're sorely mistaken. >> all right, doug hye, i want to read you what rod rosenstein read as he was asked directly, if he was asked to fire bob mueller, what would he do? he said "i'm not going to follow any orders, unless i believe those orders are lawful." and previously before, remember, he said he sees no cause to fire bob mueller. he

following independence, those hopes were never realized. what did happen was a continuation of what was happening before independence. this struggle for power continued. khartoum was once again the -- to blame for any ills and lack of infrastructure, and the leadership in south sudan continued to use violence to achieve its goals, indifferent to the suffering of the citizens it was meant to serve. incidentally, the media and civil society groups that were previously supported became enemies of the state as they began to report on corruption and advocated for more inclusive and transparent government. recently in speaking to a former colleague, one of the things that she commented on was that she felt during the referendum period the leadership really intentionally pulled the wool over the eyes of the south sudan citizens, she felt they were given limited options in terms of the choices and it was really all about the leadership, you know, kind of maintaining control. when looking back at 2010 elections and 2011 referendum, i feel in a rush

what do you think will warrant a second independence referendum? we know that the first part has to be finished by may 2019. i was in brussels last week, there was people openly speculating that this would ta ke two, openly speculating that this would take two, three or four of five yea rs. we take two, three or four of five years. we need to know what the position is in two years, we need to know what the offer is and whether it has been accepted. incredibly, the prime minister is still talking about the possibility of there being no deal. right across the uk, people are saying, let's approach this in a different way. let's get together. the archbishop of canterbury was saying, the cbi have said it, trade unions are saying it, we need to be able to work this out. the first minister was saying it today, sitting in with the general consensus, this has to be done in a very different way to the way it has been done by theresa may up until now. you are not going to be sitting on your hands for the next two years whilst theresa may and dugher davies sou
