the m.p.'s i actually members of the elite of the presidential special forces command.many of them their faces have been highlighted close to the president on many occasions guiding him and then of course the parliament rules of procedure clear that if a member of parliament was been suspended doesn't leave the house then it falls upon the sergeant of arms. so it remains a big question why the sergeant of arms who was present was not allowed to do their job and then of course we had to take extra security from the president's got to come and lift members of parliament out but of course on the streets remains a very contentious matter the ruling party has numbers in the house they have about three hundred and the evidence the m.p.'s and the independents are sixty six i think forty eight of the sixty six independent m.p.'s are in the room leaning and it was just as fifty six so if it comes down to give a number the opposition doesn't stand a chance and the education that you see from the opposition to stop it in its early stages is that it shouldn't get down to a game of

will be i will fight i'm sure turn this bill into one the ruling conservatives ordered every single m.p. to toe the line even the most passionate pro europeans for me there's no two more fundamental british values than democracy and the rule of law and this bill strikes at the heart of both democracy and the rule of law because it prevents parliament from scrutinizing laws and it prevents the courts from ensuring that ministers any abuse that powers. want to question is that the government lost the vote it probably would have collapsed it didn't so the process moves on it's all enormously difficult. for supporters of brecht's in the whole point is to make the country more democratic to increase parliamentary sovereignty and yet the complaint says they're doing something profoundly anti democratic to get there and that's very uncomfortable for many m.p.'s it's also procedural as of yet there is nobody in there offering any clear vision as to what britain is supposed to look like after bricks it in twenty nine seen. the al-jazeera in london. last minute still to come for you here on al-ja

it's a crucial moment in the process of brics it british m.p.'s have given their first approval to a bill that would give ministers power to bypass parliament and create new laws the government says it's essential to allow the u.k. to leave the european union smoothly however as lawrence lee explains critics warn it might undermine democracy. there are still those who demand the u.k. remains in the european union but judging by these tiny protests outside parliament increasingly few believe it's actually possible. for the basin votes were just one stage of an enormous process albeit an extremely important one the government's supposed to hand power to ministers to be able to change e.u. laws into british ones without consulting parliaments many opposition politicians say that is a threat to democracy but a notable number who support breck's it voted not with their party but with the government's they said be made to happen i knew would become the guys and i knew it would be difficult so i knew we would say something of what we're saying now. whic

m.p.'s face the online abuse in the twenty seventeen general election campaign. we know that the internet and in particular the twitter sphere can be a pretty nasty place if you're a public figure you've got to have a thick skin to be on there and more so if you are a politician so this suggestion to stop online trolls from voting in general elections it's come from the electoral commission because we know that some eighty seven percent of politicians experienced pretty horrifying abuse in the last general election campaign one politician that's been particularly affected by it is the veteran labor m.p. diane abbott has just hurts people to single out should you choose to go not just because you can see it will. be that she's right to let. me put you to the you know to put your stamp on it and that you go to the post books press buttons and she's read was abuse she's good people to do such and to write down and it doesn't really matter what side of the political spectrum you're on there ar

labor m.p.'s of were loyal and after they've all been tom watson labour's deputy leader your q.'s team of skullduggery smears and secret plots then there's the right wing press the security services is there a bit of paranoia creeping into this you need to know because you know not not in the slightest you say that i've acquired many anything conspiracies that everybody it's not a conspiracy you've only got to read the media to know that of course anybody who stands up and fights for working people will be challenged by the right wing me through control the nation's top process that's precisely what's happened cohen jones labor's leader in wales referred to labor as a paranoid political movement more concerned with rooting out traitors and his with the economy security and happiness of our country the booing the hissing the name calling the trolling the threats it has to stop he said it has to stop. this is what you've turned this labor movement into but that's our offering hissing name calling filming starts or that's altered nonsense the point you're making is absolutely normal

m.p.'s have been subjected to pretty nasty abuse so examples of the types of abuse that politicians had during the last election campaign was one conservative candidate being racially abused at a polling station another conservative m.p. cheryl laurie her election posters were actually covered with swastikas and a labor m.p. a former labor m.p. he was actually physically assaulted at the polling station when he was delivering leaflets and because twitter is such a major conduit for a majority of the abuse that these politicians get this suggestion for the from the electoral commission has been being seen as a potential deterrent so maybe get people to stop and think before they type their poisonous messages on their keyboard but on fiercely it comes with a big caviar so it might work as a deterrent in theory but how would it work in practice it's a bit of a gray area about how you implement this law or what is the red line just how nasty to someone have to be online in order to be banned f

it wrong he did i he got it wrong and i wrote to him seeking a meeting you know a party committee of m.p.'s you know that accused government and you should i know you are led to him this is extremely i don't know whether you've been out of the country for too long to know what's been happening for the last two or three years . in the labor party you know the type of attacks that jeremy corbyn and so i had to put up with day in day out about attacks on louis zalman or me thought you know . about certainly deserving colleagues under labor's national exact absolutely disgraceful and anybody who was found to be involved in any anti sematic behavior is dealt with by the labor party procedures and condemned out of hand by jeremy kaufman that's why the campaign against anti semitism called labor's inquiry a vague meaningless whitewash the reality is starr the campaign that was launched any opportunity we might come on to issues like venezuela or any little thing that gives people the opportunity to try and undermine corba and paint the labor party as some form of. anti semitic. symmetric. organ

s more or less who are going to support the government because many labor m.p.'s in the opposition say they'll back it as well or abstain but many on both sides are saying they want to know further down the line what the government's going to do to ensure that when laws are actually drafted parliament gets a say as well and not just ministers so they want this to be just a procedural thing rather than the end of the road in the end it just shows you how enormously complicated and messy the whole sort of birth of an independent u.k. free from the european union is proving to be just of the moment absolutely and says exactly what's going to what i was going to pick up on even something that should be sort of obvious what an easy thing to do is actually very controversial and all the while of course the clock is ticking because that what's what eighteen months or so before one way or another the u.k. should exit the e.u. so what's going to happen after this vote to make sure that you know when we get to that eighteen month deadline the u.k. is ready. just loads more

now is the shouters works person or the treasury brick sit and work in pensions and we will see an m.p. from east end sure that we will go back to going underground so direct rule return to terrorism well i don't think that both sides terrible thing a direct roomies of return to terrorism but what we do need in northern ireland is some government we haven't had any government knife for six months it's fairly clear that she and fi and have no intention of coming back into the executive and unfortunately because of the way in which our system operates if they don't come in then nobody can go in and you can't leave a country on governed for a long time and it would seem that the only alternative then is to have direct rule it is not our choice and i still believe that local politicians who are making local to satans and should be held legally responsible by people the irony will be of course a chin feeling which is the republican party which wants to separate northern arm from the rest of the united kingdom will not be leading to a situation where on a kind of ministers from westminster a

full of agonized conversations about whether or not british democracy is being undermined one labor m.p. said that it was a source of power grab worthy of demand of turkey or putin of russia and even if you think that that's what the talk is is really an exaggeration it shows you how worried some m.p.'s are about the idea of the executive government ministers being able to change laws without asking parliament because after all the idea from the probe lobby was that leaving the european union makes the u.k. more democratic with more parliamentary solvency and yet here they are doing something potentially very undemocratic to get their way on the other side of course you have government support again piece saying look it's the will of the people whatever it takes we've got to go and do it and then somewhere in the middle you've got quite a lot of m.p.'s saying we really don't like it very much but i guess we're going to go with it because it is the will of the people a bit further on the line we'll try to make sure that it's tweaks and messaged to make sure parliament gets a say and so i
