mr. speaker. given what we know about the russian state's involvement in poisoning, does the prime minister think it appropriate that parliamentarians appear in russia state television? >> can i say to my honorable friend that i'm sure we all have doubts about the objectivity of the reporting on russia today which does remain a tool of propaganda for the russian state. the decisions is matter of judgment for each individual but they should be clear, that they risk being used as propaganda tools by the russian state. and i know that that is a view that's shared by other members of this house including the right honorable gentleman, made clear he doesn't think people should appear on that station. i would also say the same applies to press tv who license to broadcast has been revoked. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the prime minister refused to answer my recent questions about aggregate iq visiting downing street so i will ask her here. why did they visit number 10 last autumn and who did they meet and what w

donald trump's you know peace plan for the conflict are you expecting anything from this plan mr and can they given the steps that this administration has taken against the palestinians. no i don't i don't think it's you know i don't think it's a serious peace initiative anyone who. knows anything about negotiations or conflict resolution knows that you can't simply bully one party particularly the weaker party into accepting whatever terms are being dictated by the stronger party that is not a peace process that is essentially the terms of. surrender i mean it's simply. power politics and for imposing. you know reinforcing the status quo so i don't think there's any real. mystery as to what is in this alleged trump peace proposal he's already said that he's thinking through some off the table and they're trying to take the refugee issue off the table they have refused after almost two years in office to say that the goal will be a sovereign palestinian state. so if. there isn't really much left to the imagination in terms of what might in this peace plan so you know where to from here we're not ex

mr. mccann has been given too much air time in this discussion. he is a phony candidate. he is getting funding for his campaign. a campaign by mike madigan's lawyer. mr. mccann: you are a liar. you are a liar and a thief. mr. pritzker: are you getting paid by a per interruption basis? or is a lump sum. you sign the trust act. >> i have another question. i would like your thoughts on free expression. thee do you stand controversy surrounding colin kaepernick and nfl players taking any. mr. jackson: this has been a difficult one to go back and forth with. didy not agree with what he or where he chose to do it, he got that recommendation from a veteran, he did it to extend respect to veterans and the flag. i may not agree with what he is doing or why he is doing it, i defend his right to do it. work, you mustr endure the ramifications that come from that. i think he has done a fantastic job holding up under the scrutiny. mr. pritzker: we need to remember why colin kaepernick was protesting in the first place. that has gotten lost. he was protesting the use of excessive force

mr. chairman, given what is happening in the anteroom, if more team -- time is needed, a few more minutes, it would be easy to push it back. we made a decision to vote at 1:30 p.m., if there is some reason to change it, we can change it. i am not even going to get into discussion about that right now. >> fair enough. senator grassley: i recess the meeting until the fall of the gavel. we are going to take action over the motion before us. we have to make sure that we have a quorum. [counting quietly] senator grassley: as a point of personal privilege i will call on senator flake to speak. normally, we would start the vote right now, but as a point of personal privilege i will call on senator flake. senator flake: thank you. i have been talking with people on the other side, we have had conversations ongoing for a while with regard to making sure that we do due diligence here. i think it would be proper to delay the floor vote for up to but not more than one week, in order to let the fbi continue to do an investigation, limited in time and a scope to the current allegations that are there.

given what mr ma said, i think it's quite clear that relationship has soured quite dramatically, particularlyerjack ma is an icon not just around the world but very much so just around the world but very much so here in china, so what he says carries a great deal of white. i think we're seeing signs of this rising nationalism in china in defiance of what many people i've talked to in china are saying is an unfair attack on china's economy. one academic said to me that the continuing trade war, the attention that the us is putting on china at the moment in the form of these tariffs, it really feels like america is trying to hold the chinese economic rise. mr ma of course didn't say all of that but what he did allude to was the fact that trying to go forward in the united states with the plans to create these i million jobs over five years was going to be pretty difficult given the current relationship between the us and china. wow, this dispute is becoming wider. of course we also know that the chinese hold a large chunk of us treasuries, could it even get that worse, from trade, tojobs, to us

time mr hammond has decided just to keep mr mr carney in post and on top of that the reason mr hammond has given turbulence, in other words he's a bit concerned about how things might go post brexit and he wants continuity and stability. all this at exactly the moment that the brexiteers are having a big shebang press co nfe re nce brexiteers are having a big shebang press conference in the house of commons to set out leading the european union and going on to so—called world trade organization turns. the decision of which they say could result in a significant boost for the economy and complete contrast to mr carney‘s more gloomy forecast. they suggest for example it could lead to lower food prices because of lower tariffs and an increase in household incomes, £80 billion more for the taxpayer. i'm thinking there will be an awful lot of grinding of teeth in the brexit central headquarters over this decision. norman, thank you very much indeed. labour are promising to give more rights to workers in the so—called "gig economy". in a speech to the tuc conference in manchester, the shadow chancello

mr. trump had given trump until friday to sign on to a deal. when that deadline came and went, he informed congress he'd sign a deal with mexico in 90 days, he says with or without canada. in the meantime, the u.s. president is planning a trip to texas to help a fellow republican running for re-election. ted cruz is in a battle for his candidate date. you may recall when mr. trump and cruz were battling for the 2016 republican tom nation the two viciously attacked each other. but all is well, according to this tweet from the president. mr. trump writes, he's quote picking the biggest stadium in texas to hold the rally and adds, cruz has his complete and total endorsement. >>> president trump will head to ireland in november. in a tweet on friday the irish deputy prime minister saying, quote, our two countries have such strong historic economic cultural and family ties, maintaining those connections is always a top priority, end quote. mr. trump is chance a canceling. >>> u.s. politicians remember the late senator john mccain. >> john mccain des

mr. chairman, given what's happening in the room i think some more time is needed i think you would get a unanimous consent to push the vote back if you needed a few more minutes. >> i'm -- we made a decision of voting at 1:30. if there's some reason to change that, then we'll have to change it. i'm not even going do get in a discussion about that right now. >> fair enough. >> all right. so we are trying to not talk too much because this is happening in realtime. here's what ease to have happened. the speeches are finished by senators on both sides and a vote is supposed to happen at 1:30. democrats to be committee seem to be interested in the vote being delayed. chuck grassley the chair of the committee seems to have zero interest in the vote being delayed. you can see the republicans conversing. dianne feinstein is talking to chuck grassley. we don't know what's happening. chuck grassley would like a vote in 13 minutes on the senate judiciary committee which republicans are almost certain to win. >> we know someone to give us historical perspective. john is still with us. john, for you,
