parliament has to be sitting, which is notjust a signal but a binding decision of parliament, bindingy because i think there were other political means of preventing this happening already this is a sort of belt and braces approach if you like. they are going the full weight to make it very clear. even without this decision today, i think that if the prime minister in the autumn had sought a prorogation, it might be that mps could have blocked that in the autumn. prorogation does not happen at the snap of a prime minister's fingers, there has to be a meeting of the privy council presided over by the queen and that ta kes presided over by the queen and that takes some time to organise. i think that mps might well have stepped in at that point and said, stop. i suppose what they have done is to try to avoid that situation occurring, to try to avoid the involvement of the monarch in very controversial decision. we are going away from the summer knowing that can't happen. that is probably rather a relief to buckingham palace! we are just hearing, to fill you in and the viewers as well, th

you're talking about of course the next president of the european parliament i mean he knows that parliament would just be jumping up and down screaming if you would sort of even give the slightest hint of frisk riving and name to them so what the european council the heads of state and government here talk about is just suggestions people they could imagine to sort of carry this balance between east and west and also carry this balance between center left center right and liberals in the mix so that is that is one part and the other thing of course is that we get the feeling here that this whole package the people in this package apart from christine lagarde who is a separate issue but funded line and the others on probably not going to get easy ride in parliament there is a feeling off our people there there's a feeling that something they had gained in the way off democratic rights proposing the next commission president and the people who sort of work and then in the next top jobs that it has slipped away through their fingers now one might say it's their own fault they didn't to put up

but if people think parliament can be avoided, i think parliament can be avoided, i think this vote andcolleagues makes that much more difficult. what do you say to those who would criticise you from within your own party, saying you're weakening the hand of a future prime minister who wants to be able to go to brussels and say, look, we are serious about a no deal therefore give us a better agreement?” serious about a no deal therefore give us a better agreement? i do not think there was any weakening at all. it's still possible for the prime minister to come to parliament and give any suggestion whatsoever, eithera and give any suggestion whatsoever, either a deal or a no deal as to what the hell should do, and that is the proper thing for the prime minister. what we need is the right negotiator to be there doing that job with the european union and that i'm supporting jeremy hunt, because i think he has a better chance of getting that deal but whoever is the prime minister, the clio centre parliament is, trying to get something done without parliament being there, with that night wit

time to rebels like dominic reid to pass of parliament oi’ dominic reid to pass of parliament or motionsinterfere with ano or motions that would interfere with a no deal exit. a suggestion tonight that mps from drg, who are possibly in favour of a no deal exit, may table loads of amendments therefore that would not be time given to fit in with what you said? that is absolutely correct. we may find ourselves in a situation where no—one actually breaks the law, no—one actually breaks the law, no—one violates the constitution but there is a lot of gameplaying and a lot of people being very difficult which i think would be problematic from a political point of view that this enormous constitutional change ofa this enormous constitutional change of a no—deal brexit actually happens because of essentially parliamentary tricks being played. what about the argument on the other side if you ta ke argument on the other side if you take no deal off table, you are that stash your negotiating position is not what it would be. for example borisjohnson not what it would be. for example boris johnson ca

parliament very disciplined. they didn't hurt anyone they didn't destroy any and tick and historical books so what they did break through the door they did break into parliament and essentially occupy parliament you're saying it's not violence but what china is saying is this is then dualism in a serious offense this is a randall ism but they didn't hurt anyone we have to be sure and also it is we have to say that why the protest i would do it is this because they have tried to protest but then the government didn't listen to them and didn't do anything the extradition bill has been withdrawn so far isn't that listening to the protesters this is just this is band and also in anguish the. chief executive says that there's no timetable to do and not a bill parliament but then in chinese is a little bit different is slightly different and if she's not was drawing to bill completely that means cans for her to bring it back to the parliament kerry lamb you're talking about you're saying she hasn't actually committed t

parliament this is right we have parliament only 2 to debate to discuss to argue. and then to decide certain. but i hope that because the political leaders not only prime minister prime ministers will do everything to do to convince our colleagues in the parliament to. support this. project. meanwhile the new intake of members of the european parliament have been sworn in the headquarters that includes the brics it party who turned their backs as the european and from was played during the ceremony many of the greens and liberals wore stop breck's it t. shirts to the inauguration. beijing has strongly condemned protestors who ransacked hong kong's parliament accusing them of trampling on the rule of law a group of activists stormed and occupied the legislative council building for several hours after breaking away from a peaceful protest or disorder follows weeks of huge demonstrations calling for a bill allowing extraditions to china to be scrapped. at least 14 people have been confirmed dead and 13 more a missing after severe flooding in southern russia a cleanup

key job, president of parliament.nd von der leyen faces serious resistance because she is not a spitzenkandidaten, one of the candidates put forward by parliament to be commissionn chchief. >> the council obviously knows what the parliament has stated clearly from day one, from long before the election, that we are only goingng to vote for one of the e spitzenkandidaten. that is what the parliament and all the parliamentary groups have said all the time. reporter: critics say von der leyen emerged from a backroom deal made to plelease national leaders instead d of keeping promises made to european voters. advocates of the deal say she is a good compromise. >> the von der leyen solution is good because she can handle foreign and defense policy. she has the social sensitivity that the other candidates lack, so i think the parliament should back the recommendation made by the european council. reporter: old europe at its worst, or a reasonable outcome after lengthy negotiations? parliament now has the final say. brent: t

you know there isn't been a majority for it in their parliaments so you know when she said today you know we need more europe we need more coordination more harmonizer more qualified majority voting and less veto from national governments on things like tax and social policy you know this is the pro european agenda that is primarily not been driven forward by the european people's party particularly it's at the moment anyway being driven forward by by socialists and greens and others and don't forget this of course in the context of the rise of nationalist. parties who you know in some way threaten to roll back europe if not indeed to bring down the whole european edifice interestingly strangely rep and it's reminiscent of the political situation here in germany max hoffman in in strasburg so. now has the job i think she doesn't start until november what does she do next. she's going to give a press conference later but i think today she might celebrate with a little sparkling water because that's her way to celebrate. because it's a close confident we can say that right david but al

the parliament the wod has resigned. i. think. hundreds of students joined demonstrations calling for the removal of more government figures on tuesday accuse leaders of being part of the old government and demand the resignation protests started in february and forced the resignation of president of jealousies beautifully. the same as sherri's a journalist for the algerian paper at leisure and ended handed he says the popular movement is still strong. well the head of parliament is the 3rd personality in the country so he's a very important and political environment you know joya he was pushed to leave nation by his own m.p.'s the m.p.'s of his party and 5 or the party forcing him yesterday to to put his resignation today they even broke into his own road yesterday in the parliament although that name was on the table and the demonstration for since february 28th 2 people recording for him for his removal but the whole the whole parliament you know julia is considered immediately made. by the process next friday it will be a mass

now, on bbc news the week in parliament. hello and welcome to the week in parliament. may's last commons defeat and the new prime minister's first? the ayes to the right, 315. the noes to the left, 274. catch them while you can — at prime minister's questions, the leaders compare legacies. the real disgrace is his handling of racism in the labour party. activists protesting, mps leaving, staff resigning... deported british citizens, which she's now had to compensate them for, i think, she might look to her own party and her own government's records as well. and 50 years on, that one small step for man... as the world held its breath and came together, and watched in awe these amazing events in black and white footage on our television screens. but first, they've travelled thousands of miles, faced thousands of questions — even answered some of them. over the past six weeks, we've learned thatjeremy hunt was once an entrepreneur and that borisjohnson likes making model buses. and within days we'll know which of them will be our next prime minister. the last hustings, in

now on bbc news, wednesday in parliament. hello, and welcome to wednesday in parliament.e party leaders trade blows over racism... you have failed the test of leadership! apologise now! deported british citizens, which she's now had to compensate them for, i think she might look to her own party and her own government's records as well. bullying victims get an apology... and i want to say to those staff, it must've been very debilitating to have to go through that experiences and to say sorry if you've had a terrible experience. and the speaker offers support to nazanin zaghari ratcliffe. this matter, the iranians need to know, will not go away. all that to come and more. but first, theresa may's penultimate prime minister's questions was dominated by clashes withjeremy corbyn over each other‘s record in dealing with allegations of racism in their own parties. senior labour figures paid for a newspaper advert to criticise the labour leader's record in tackling anti—semitism. jeremy corbyn wanted to talk about climate change. but theresa may wanted to ask him questions abo

i do hope you canjoin me at 11pm on friday night on bbc parliament for the week in parliament, the programme until then, bye for now. some soggy weather on the way for some of us over the next 2a hours, heavy rain pushing northwards across the uk during the day ahead, with a brisk breeze. the rain already into the south—west of england, through the south—west of england, through the first part of the morning, getting into south wales weather could be some travel disruption, surface water and spray on the road, but of northwards across england and wales keeping into northern ireland in southern scotland to the afternoon. could be the odd bump of thunder with the rate of showers testing from the south, a lot of dry weather on the northern half of scotland, one or two showers here, to butchers of the 18— 21 degrees. —— temperatures. another positive rain moved its way through southern counties of england overnight, some clear spots, monkey note down towards the south—east, not as muggy further north and west. the main area of rain on saturday, we're with sunny spells and heavy thundery showers.

hello and welcome to the week in parliament.ce for number ten nears the finish line, mps start laying down the law. the ayes to the right, 294. the noes to the left, 293. members of the uk's youth parliament hear about the risks young people face from knife crime. we have to be very careful. i don't want to leave that radio station and we've got 20 young men that have just heard this track waiting outside the front with shanks and machetes and all sorts. and all change on the woolsack — but the lord speaker knows his limits. and i have no ambition to do whatjohn bercow does and say that mr brown or lord brown or mr smith. all that to come and more from a week dominated by the race for downing street. not so long ago, mps would spend their evenings voting. frequently. usually to reject theresa may's brexit plan. since that ran into trouble, votes in the commons have been rather rare. so, when relatively technical legislation on northern ireland was tabled, mps seized their opportunity. power—sharing at stormont collapsed more tha

they are the fourth biggest group in the eu parliament.avid sassoli has got it, what is he going to do as president of the european parliament? institutions,hree the council, the commission, the parliament. parliament is the only directly elected body and its members like to repeat that fact. president is a relatively symbolic role. he is a person who oversees the sessions when mep's are sitting. you have 14 vice presidents to help. it is also the person who represents the european parliament at other institutions, when we see the big eu summits. the eu parliament president is there to put the point interview. he can represent the parliament on the world stage, as well. the parliament has been trying to beef up its standing, put out the message it is the most democratic body of the eu. it will be interesting to see where this socialist president takes things. he has this job for the next 2.5 years. nadia: thank you. let's return to the migrant story now. to the united states. the government has warned of dangerous overcrowding at migrant c

normal parliament in a way you can understand a parliament who cannot appoint the top jobs of the. european commission of the european council fact is that european council sort of states who are in power and they will decide. it's pretty difficult because they are not deciding based on the wheel of the population but to say that do you decide based i don't know we love the governments so i think this is a serious crisis that the in washington lied to it's how difficult it is to manner which democrat. without democratic hopes for without deployable really being able to hold 2 of who is in charge in brussels if we all agree that it should be much more easy to bolt directly a precedent to the european union or are we not going off after that all the state the dismay or so we are now aware of the states that have one of the reporters have a different idea the parliament of the foreign media and there is a set of rules for electing the top jobs that is very difficult to consume it. now back in strasburg a sea of callon flags could be seen outside the e.u. parliament as activists protes

and the european parliament insisted that they would only approve someone who previously was a lead candidate during the campaign the german word for it that everybody uses now is bits and county da so this is not a spits and cut it out was a left on the line so things get complicated things get complicated in her own party the european people's party the conservative party in this case even though she is from the same party the e.p. p. had insisted no one else but the lead candidate their lead candidate was monthly who by the way has announced this evening that he no longer wants this mandate as a spitz and county does so maybe they can get the e.p.b. on board because after after all fun the lion is from the same party but now we have to talk about the social democrats now imagine you're a social democrat and up until yesterday it looked like your lead candidate plans to moments was going to be president of the e.u. commission once of a sudden the tables turn and you have holes enough on the line being the proposal so you can imagine the social democrats are very disappointed and i

the uk parliament indeed the uk parliament led by a conservative government supported the declaration of a climate emergency and showed global leadership. so, minister, how does your government justify having such pathetic pollution reduction tags at only 16% when you take into account carryover credits, how do you justify having targets that are completely inconsistent with keeping warming below 1.5 degrees as set out in the paris agreement? >> the leader of the government, senator corpsman. >> thank you very much, mr. president. i can't answer this question without noting and thanking the greens for having joined with the liberal national party senators in voting down the pollution reduction that senator wong sought to introduce. those of us on this side of the chamber continue to be grateful for your efforts to help us properly balance the environmental protection with economic responsibility. that is, of course, the way we approach these things. we are committed to effective action on climate change. when we came into government we were running behind in terms of meeting our emiss

i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program germany's arcelor founder live has addressed the european parliament in strasbourg as she winds up her bid to become the 1st woman president of the european commission it was her last chance to make her case even lawmakers still on the fence about her nomination underline needs to secure a majority and a secret confirmation ballot being held later today in her speech she sought to allay concerns of lawmakers who have criticized her for being overly vague laying out a number of ambitious policy points on topics including trade quality migration and brags. there was also a big appeal to the green lobby with founder line pledging a green deal for europe in her 1st $100.00 days achieving her goals on climate change she said would require a new sense of unity. we must 1st rediscover our unity. if we are united on the inside no body will divide us from the outside if we close the gaps between us we can turn to more of sed challenges in tomorrow's approach to tease. honorable members almost pressing challenge is keeping our planet healthy. this is the greates

commission if the european parliament induces her she would be the 1st woman to fill the influential post. and our coverage continues now with the don't use teri schultz she is covering the story for us from brussels good evening to you cherie so ursula from the lion we know that she was not the 1st choice she wasn't even the 2nd choice is she a good choice. well brant the very fact that she is the name upon which all 28 leaders could agree makes are really the only choice and the best choice in fact neither of the leading 2 candidates that came out of the european parliament's nominating process would have managed to get approval of the other leaders and so there simply was no other choice but to move on to other names that's caused a lot of hard feelings and that may come back to bite the european union leaders as they still need to get parliament's approval and we know it took 3 long days to reach the point where we are right now after the summit today the german chancellor angela merkel she spoke to reporters about this nomination let's take a listen to what she said. and it's im

parliament. she needs to convince enough parliamentarians that she is the right woman for the commission presidency and that could be a problem especially with the social democrats in the european parliament. they've called her commitments to and they disliked that and wasn't even one of the lead candidates especially the german social democrats are up in arms so the members of the democratic group in the parliament has not taken a final decision yet i guess there are some that might consider to vote for. the questions and others who are. already. clear that they won't including you including me. so fond needs to do the math will give her a hand she needs a total of $376.00 votes to be elected commission president let's just say she'll get all $182.00 from her own group the conservative your party now it gets dicey the liberals from renewed europe who have 108 seats seemed rather positive but not completely convinced with 70 votes. to the social democrats lots of opposition but also lots of suppo

lawrence lee is that the european parliament in strasburg. given how benign and bureaucratic and slow things tend to be here in strasburg of the european parliament there is what you can only describe as a free soul of excitement on the opening day of this new parliamentary session brought on by the inability of the european council to choose the new commission presidents because what usually happens is that person gets picked and then the european parliament's effectively says ok that's that's your man and then goes on more or less to rubber stamp decisions that the european commission take even if under a little bit of scrutiny well clearly now it's the other way around and the inability of the council to choose a commission president has led to this flurry of activity here at the european parliament as to who's going to be the next european public president which they vote on wednesday because they know it's on to think well if we get our president in 1st then we can start telling the commission what to do instead which is a complete about

the parliament voted for that parliament voted for that with a huge majority so the council ignored that and that is something that we cannot accept because this no this was initially. also promoted by by people like me to all of us on and missed so many who who did not want the parliament to to have the power being the people to representation so let me get this right you are not necessarily against. her topics but you're against what happened so how she got there it's just a matter of principle no it's also a matter of political issues because especially on the rule of law which is something that i find a crucial she is far too soft but she did deliver yesterday on monday in her letter to the social democrats didn't she well it was a bit a bit less. soft than she was when she was in a group but essentially. she is still saying that the rule of law. is a question of law and not a political question and i really heavily disagree there and the whole the whole process of the right wing populists pushing the spits out pushing her and the package and now being quite soft on the rule of law a

it is about giving parliament a vote, giving parliament a say.lipng the chancellor hammond to abstain from the vote, the reason that they want parliament to have a vote is they believe in a parliamentary democracy, it is absolutely , it isnt, it is key obligatory that the parliament has a say. te --et, the brexit brexiteers are the most dead set to getting that parliament the final say. it is not a small matter because also, the office ofof budget responsibility has now weighed in on the economic consequences of a no deal. if it does happen, it could mean entailing tens of billions of pounds of extra government borrowing costs, and more economic disaster ahead. there is a a lot of fretting ovr the consequences of a no deal brexit. broadersing the question of the parliament -- the executive is trying to impose its will, and it is not going to enend rit now.w. when boris johnson comes to power, some are even warning that they could ask for a second referendum or even an early vote of no-confidenence. his days may be numberered in before he enters.

job but opposition to the bill is strong especially here in germany for approval the top jerk in parliament today is the starting up another missile. also coming out of the german capital the migrant rescue ship was moved to a secret location on tuesday to dress like a cat been arrested for defying a taliban on bringing the migrant to the cut. much of europe has been sweltering and on the president to be one of the last to sign to say last month was the hottest june after before we'll get analysis on the changing climate and the dangers of playing possum football in england and the u.s. title it out for their place in the women's world cup final the match was the law tension and drama right up to the we'll go to the end of the highlight. i'm sumi so much god it's good to have you with us. e.u. lawmakers are voting to choose a new president of the european parliament the vote in strasbourg will complete the e.u.'s lengthy process of appointing new people to the top jobs e.u. leaders have already nominated candidates for 4 other posts the most important job is that of e.u. commission chief an

parliament as we await a decision well that will keep our eye on a vast so it does look like she's got the job but silent young she faced a lot of opposition from german social democrats why. in fact let's let's let's let's cross to the pilot now a box like that may not use a lot of the. results of the vote. and the. votes of the $733.00. people only majority of members that make up the pile and i don't know what 374. same fair vote 383 leaf tea i've. been changed. 327. 7 and still have standing. to one so much and on the basis of these votes the candidate for the president of the commission has proposed by the council and has been elected by the european parliament and i would like to congratulate ms underlaying for her election and i wish her all the very best for her mandate and in line please article one tomorrow for paris 3 all 15 years of procedure i will inform the console and i will write. for the new commission president to propose the various commissioner condition list and i will be i letter informing them of the parliament's decision. so you were saying that. it looks like

commission if the european parliament jindal says she would be the 1st woman to fill the influential post. for one of the story i want to take it too strong that is where the european parliament is located i'm joined by our correspondent max hoffmann good evening to you max we know that the parliament still has to confirm this nomination i mean that's where the final decision is can we say for certain that ursula fund a lion will she get the approval because we know she wasn't the 1st she wasn't the 2nd choice for this position washing. the european parliament brand in the last weeks on a daily basis said that they would only approve a candidate who prior to the decision was a so-called spits in county da that's the german word that everybody uses now in the brussels and strasburg bubble it means the lead candidate for a certain party that is presented in the european parliament and there really were only 2 of those one was funds to months the social democrat that was deemed to be the front runner over the last days and the 2nd one was monthly vevo was the official candidate of the c

for a look at the week in parliament. as warm or quite as humid, there'll be a mix of sunny spells and just a few showers around, mainly across eastern england and eastern scotland, too. but many of us will avoid the showers. so we've got an area of low pressure which is pushing off towards the east. higher pressure waiting out in the west and that will dominate more as we head on through the weekend. so friday morning, then, a reasonably dry start to the day, dry in most places. more cloud for northern ireland and the north—west of scotland will bring a few spots of drizzly ran, a bit mistiness — particularly around the coasts, too. the bulk of england, wales, and southern scotland should be dry with some sunshine. in the sunnier spells, top temperatures will reach around 25 degrees down towards the south—east. just a small chance of, perhaps, catching a passing shower at wimbledon. it looks like sunday will be the drier day. friday night into the early hours of saturday, most leases die with some clear spells. not quite

obviously you know wants what the parliament has stated clearly from day one from. long before the election that we are only going to vote for one of the ships and that is what the parliament and all the all the parliamentary groups have said all the time so the. the council has decided to ignore this and that is already part of the crisis. so commonly known by lee says this is an institutional crisis much but e.u. institutions are accustomed to dealing with crises help at is this one. it really depends what happens in 2 weeks' time and 2 weeks are a pretty long time to convince certain members of the european parliament you have to think about it this way when this deal was hashed out in brussels yesterday someone must've called the social democrats in the european parliament because you have social democratic leaders in brussels take for example pedro stanchest the spanish prime minister that doesn't mean that all social democrats are on board with this but there are getting something they most likely will get the president of the european parliament they most lik

choice for another key job president of parliament. on funding lion face a serious resistance because she is now also spits and counted down to one of the candidates put forward by parliament to be commission chief. the council. obviously you know it was once the parliament as it's clearly from day one from. big long before. the election that we're only going to vote for one of the states that is what haldeman and all the other parliamentary groups have to say that all of the signs critics say funded lion emerged from a backroom deal made to please national leaders instead of keeping promises made to european voters advocates the deal say she's a good compromise. from the ryan lizza school the vanda lion solution is good because she can handle foreign and defense policy. so she has a social sensitivity that the other candidates lack so i think the parliament should back the recommendation made by the european council. old europe out at its worst or reasonable outcome after lengthy negotiations parliament now has the final say. that's r

her final push to secure the european union's top job underlined is about to address the european parliament in the hope of winning over lawmakers in a confirmation vote later today we go live to strasburg in just a few moments. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program you're joining us for special coverage of an address by germany's ursula funder line before the european parliament that will be getting under way in just a few minutes time you're looking at live pictures here as people assemble for what is voter alliance last chance to make her case to even lawmakers in her bid to become the 1st woman president of the european commission she needs to secure a majority and a confirmation vote being held later today but success is far from certain for deadline faces hostility from parliamentary groups who say that she was foisted on them by national leaders so she's been on a charm offensive making a raft of promises to win support and we can see her walking out there. let's get more analysis on the speech which is about to get underway i'm joined here in the studio by diffused chief political c

parliament.s like something out of the 17th century. let me ask the dumb question. can he be part of prime minister johnson's government? francine: he can of johnson wants them to. it depends if he has already promised to some of the main cabinet. who knows. names tend to come back, these things are fluid. we are getting some data and that is for industrial production. let's also look at that. tom: it is a good number. francine: it will have an impact on how mario draghi is looking at it. tom: very good. there is a lot going on today. our first word news in new york. viviana: president donald trump is warning facebook over its plan to create a digital currency. on twitter, the president said if facebook and other companies want to become banks, they must get a banking charter. he also expressed skepticism of digital currencies in general. u.s. federal reserve chairman jay powell is suggesting the central bank has room to cut interest rates. he wrapped up two days of testimony on capitol hill. he

already with parliament demonstrating again its distaste for no deal and the e.u. repeatedly refusing to reopen the existing deal the prospect remains of no breaks at all to be clear parliament here has not prevented and no deal breaks it that many experts say could be economically disastrous for the united kingdom that would require an act of parliament but m.p.'s opposed to no deal have bought themselves time in the hope of being able to take more decisive action in the autumn. defeat inflicted less a blow to the sitting government more a preemptive strike aimed at the next one jonah hill al-jazeera london. a viral social media app could be investigated by u.s. authorities because of security concerns senate minority leader chunk schumer says the russian known face that could misuse personal dance of millions of people he's asked the f.b.i. to investigate phase have allows users to alter the age and gender of images a face at sea says the russian government has no access to use the data fears of cyber espionage have increased in the u.s. since the 2016 presidenti
