john bercow announces his plans to stand down as speakerlj john bercow announces his plans to stand downspeaker. i wish my successof stand down as speaker. i wish my successor in the chair the very best fortune in standing up for the rights of honourable and right honourable members individually and for parliament institutionally, as the speaker of the house of commons. thank you. (applause). parliament certainly went out with a bang. the last sitting day for five weeks included emergency debates, government defeats and a resignation. let's start with the emergency debate called by the labour leaderjeremy corbyn. he was worried about suggestions that the government could try to find a way around legislation approved by mps last week designed to prevent a no—deal brexit on october 31. parliament has passed a law to ensure that the will of parliament is upheld. the fact that parliament is compelled to pass a law to ensure the will of parliament is upheld shows what extraordinary times we now live in. the house has rejected no deal. businesses and trade unions are united in rejecting no dea

john bercow is now under fire from the business secretary.mps to use a procedure to trigger emergency debate as a means of taking up the timetable, he has permitted a flag ra nt timetable, he has permitted a flagrant abuse of parliamentary process. in the mail on sunday their business secretary writes... the speaker is an mp who stands in general elections but is usually unopposed by the major political parties but mrs led to me is warning that the conservatives will defy convention and field a candidate in his constituency of buckingham at the next vote. there is no love lost between andrea leadsom and mr boco. last year he was alleged to have labelled her stupid. he has yet to comment on the latest criticisms —— john bercow. the liberal democrats have picked up their third mp in a week. angela smith, who defected from the labour party earlier this year, has left the independent group for change to join up withjo swinson‘s party. she described the lib dems as the ‘strongest party to stop brexit.‘ the labour mp, john mann says he's stepping d

leading up to the referendum vote, and ever since brexit, that has taken the focus of getting rid of john bercowjohn bercow was the subject of extremely serious allegations which he denies, relating to bullying, you might think another time, that would have been enough to make sure he would 90, been enough to make sure he would go, and he even let it be known through friends that he was going to stand down and he then carried on for a while longer. this is a man who came into the job of pledging that he would not stay longer than a maximum of nine years and are because we are at about ten years and three months at the moment and it is only now that he has said he will stand down. so very lucky indeed. they can't have been anyone who has occupied thatcher as fla m boya ntly as who has occupied thatcher as flamboya ntly as john who has occupied thatcher as flamboyantly as john bercow —— who has occupied thatcher as flamboyantly asjohn bercow —— who has occupied that chair. you would have to say he has opened the door to the house of commons and he has explained the procedure and some of the arcane

parliamentary device john bercow. by the arcane procedures of part of approving that request oliver letwin saying simply in light of the government's decision to prorogue parliament next week until october the 14th century send parliament away for 5 weeks it is time for this house to discuss whether we can accept a no deal breaks it now part and parcel of the debate that will take place over the next 3 hours or so it will begin in the next 15 minutes or so will be a vote at the end of the evening and that vote will determine whether the business of the house of commons normally gripped tightly in answer to government can be handed to backbench m.p.'s tomorrow allowing them to table a piece of legislation that is cross party group of m.p.'s has come up with it's already been published that would seek to block a no deal breaks it on october 31st and that's where we are right now a debate to come for 3 hours an absolutely pivotal vote in about 3 hours time that could in and of itself determine the course of this country

and an emotional farewell from the speaker of the house of commons, john bercow, as he announces he'lltep down by the 31st october. this has been — let me put it explicitly — the greatest privilege and honour of my professional life, for which i will be eternally grateful. we'll have all the latest from westminster, as mps prepare to shut up shop as the brexit chaos continues. also tonight... almost all of british airways flights are grounded as pilots walk out over pay at the start of a two—day strike. bullied online — the little mix star jesy nelson reveals how years of nasty comments almost drove her to take her own life. and the extraordinary surgery that means this man — blinded in one eye by acid 20 years ago — can finally see again. coming up on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, a big night for northern ireland in euro qualifying, as they look to stay top of their group. they face germany in belfast. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. from tonight, parliament will be shut down for five weeks. first though, mps will be asked to vote for a second time on the g

now they are likely to be checked again in another dramatic development the speaker of parliament john bercow says he will stand down before the next election prime minister boris johnson has been holding talks with his irish counterpart of raka in dublin the 2 leaders are hoping to resolve the stalemate over what will happen of the irish quarter if and when the u.k. leaves the european union let's hear some of what they had to say. i am ready to listen to any constructive ways in which we can achieve our goals and resolve the current impasse but what we cannot do and will not do and i know you understand this is it creates the replacement of a legal guarantee with a promise like you i've looked carefully at no deal i've assessed its consequences both for our country and and yours and yes of course we could do it the u.k. could certainly get through it but to be in no doubt that outcome would be a failure of state craft for which we would all be responsible and so. let's see where i went up to them way back quite thin pale he's an associate fellow with the europe program at the international

meanwhile, the speaker of the house of commons, john bercow,

our top story: the house of commons speaker, john bercow, has warned that he will use all of his powershe prime minister borisjohnson from ignoring the law which blocks a no—deal brexit. mr bercow called it astonishing that anyone has even entertained the notion of forcing through a brexit without the approval of mps. 0ur political correspondent, jessica parker, is in westminster. jessica, what powers are at mr bercow‘s disposal? he is leaving at the end of october, or if there is a general election, before, yet he's determined to make waves still, isn't he? he is. it's worth noting the speaker is the highest authority in the house of commons butjohn bercow has been something of a marmite character over the last few years. for some he's someone that's stood up for backbenchers and for parliament againstan backbenchers and for parliament against an over mighty executive. for others, he's damaged the impartiality of the speaker with some of the decisions he's made but in terms of the executive and the government, he might have sent a view shivers down their spine this morning after the co

the conservatives will break with precedent and field a candidate against the commons speaker, john bercow, at the next election. peace talks between the taliban and the us are called off — president trump blames a deadly attack in the afghan capital, kabul. ships and aircraft evacuate thousands of people from islands in the bahamas worst hit by hurricane dorian — aid agencies say the situation is ‘desperate‘. british airways pilots prepare to go on strike — for the first time in the airline's history. and coming up later this hour, exclusive accesss to the campaign group extinction rebellion, on inside out west. good morning. amber rudd has been giving more details about why she's resigned from the government. she told the bbc‘s andrew marr she hasn't seen enough evidence that downing street is doing enough to get a brexit deal. and she's angry about the expulsion of what she called ‘good moderate‘ conservative mps. she said she spoke to borisjohnson last night who was ‘sad' about her decision to quit. here she is on the andrew marr show this morning. i believe that he is trying to get a

no more of a symbol of parliament right to resist downing street than the speaker, john bercow. in this long-runni drama, he had a scene of his own. mr. bercow: my tenure as speaker and mp will end when this parliament ends. laura k.: in classic fhion, mr. bercow, who has infuriated the government and was at the center of seriousg bully allegations, which he denies, will go, but only after the latest round of brexit controversy is done. mr. bercow: we degrade this parliament at our peril. [applause] atra k.: that blast aim boris johnson, and he was applauded. but look where the clapping comes from. all too obvious thiss a house profoundly divided. later tonight, the commons will, pack up for a few weeks, the government calling an early halt. >> we will do everything we can to prevent the crashing out on the 31st of october and support an election when that is clear we are not dng the crashing t. laura k.: still time for the forces ranged against the prime minister to defeat him. >> the ayes to the right, 311. nos to the left, 302. laura k.: narrowly, mps voted to force number 10

i was speaker of the house of commons john bercow announcing his resignation last night we will look back on the man who kept order in a drought this parliament also coming up a german jihadi right now trapped in a kurdish refugee camp our nation's obliged to take back adults who have joined a foreign terrorist organization to explore the issue and in soccer germany get the result that they were looking for the men's team edged out northern ireland to go to the top of the group in euro qualifiers the hard part to know when to push them back on track after friday's defeat by the dutch. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the british parliament has again voted against holding a snap general election prime minister boris johnson requesting one for october 15th but the opposition labor party refusing to back the proposal unless johnson agrees to seek a delay to the u.k.'s exit from the european union now amid this crisis johnson has ordered parliament into recess the chamber will only reconvene about 2 weeks before the october 31st deadline. which is not the lection bid last week bori

john bercow insisting he was right all along. it was down to business. one of the conservatives thrown out of the party move to force the government to release internal communications on the controversial decision to suspend or prorogue parliament for five weeks. ministers insist it's to allow for a new queen's speech setting up the government's plans for the next year. opponents reckon the unusually long suspension is a cynical move to keep mps away from westminster in the run—up to brexit. dominic grieve demanded to see all the communications between ministers and special advisors. we have seen documents which show that although on the 23rd of august of this year number 10 downing street and the prime minister denied considering the idea of proroguing at all, in fact, internal government documents reveal that this matter was under consideration some ten days before. he said a remarkable memo had shown the prime minister was happy with that and thought the idea of mp sitting in september are necessary and contemptible. it's also

some interesting remarks from john bercow.be standing down at the end of next month, but i don't think anybody expected him to go quietly. obviously in the last few years he has repeatedly criticised by brexiteers for not being an impartial speaker. he's not afraid to stay in the fray. he'll be doing all he can to prevent a no—deal brexit until the very last moment, it seems. has he been a good speaker, do you think, john bercow? i'm not one to judge on these things... go on! it was interesting, today he gave a speech. he will step down. he feels he has more freedom to speak out stop as we stared, he has spoken out in the last couple of weeks in particular. —— as we said. clearly m ps weeks in particular. —— as we said. clearly mps have said they would seek an extension if a deal failed to come back from brussels by the 19th of october, or they haven't approved a no—deal. he will say any attempt to stop that won't go down well. some of the things he has done to parliament is modernised, introducing a creation so it can be more

and then of a dramatic announcement the speaker of parliament john bercow has announced that he will stand down within weeks the prime minister barged johnson his way from western to waddle this has been going on he's been holding back the talks with his irish counterpart leo broad in dublin the 2 leaders are hoping to resolve the impasse over what will happen at the irish border if and when the u.k. leaves an even thing union so let's hear from the silly. i am ready to listen to any constructive ways in which we can achieve our goals and resolve the current impasse the what we cannot do it will not do and i know you understand this is a greets the replacement of the legal guarantee with a promise thank you i've looked carefully at no deal i've assessed its consequences both for our country and yours and yes of course we could do it the u.k. could certainly get through it but to be in no doubt that outcome would be a failure of state craft food which we would all be responsible and so. far as johnson speaking that dublin so a busy day in the u.k. let's go to the capital to london whe

or so there have been a lot of praise in this house of commons right now for that man on screen john bercow the speaker of the house who has announced he will be stepping down lawrence sleazy. joining us from outside westminster to tell us. why how does this happen is it expected how does that play into the the bigger picture. what. he's been doing if only 10 years and he's and he's and he said he'd step down in the summer apparently but he's now saying is a step down at 731st which is the date that is going to happen and you know since since the circus bill is epic glory rolls rolled into town burke has become something of an international celebrity really the world's been looking for the gold and all the comings and goings inside parliament is only a short man but has this enormous voice which he projects at all the m.p.'s and the holders of the wealth fund funds the whole thing quite transfixing the think but in his remarks when he announced his resignation he did really cut to the hearts of what the problem is about those that those people who supports it's say look it was it was a popu

so as we heard earlier, john bercow says he's standing down

well john bercow the speaker of parliament opened proceedings about half an hour ago and he started with a matter of record what he said that the would probation should be expunged from parliamentary records but now. what's put down in the history books as happens between september the 9th which is the last day they sat and today when they came back was the parliament was adjourned this is because the seat dream court ruled that prorogue ation was unlawful and it never actually happened it's a strange situation that this rewriting of the book should be taking place but that is the procedure that john bercow said should happen and we then had the 1st of the urgent questions we're expecting today many many of them will come as the day progresses we think this one came from joanna cherry a scottish national party m.p. who was involved in the legal case against the government's and she was asking geoffrey cox the attorney general about the advice given to the queen the monarch on probation and he had a number of things to say about it he said that the government's legal case which sets out i
