parliament, you can very important ceremony. parliament, you can see very important ceremony.anything in parliament cannot do anything in parliament until they have been some formalities. the formalities are really interesting if you are a parliament watcher. the house of commons itself cannot undertake any business until at least there is a speaker. and at the beginning of a new parliament, and this is a newly elected parliament as you just said, they cannot undertake anything until they have a speaker. so the first point to make is that the speaker is, in fact, elected by the house of commons themselves, but has to be approved by the sovereign. and there is an old tradition where the speaker used to report to the sovereign. and so the sovereign not only approves the speaker nowadays, but used to actually more or less appoint him. or her. so the next formality that you will see taking place in the chamber is the father of the house, and that is the longest serving member of parliament, who will preside over the house, effectively taking the chair. and a royal commission, not

do you think a hand parliament —— machon parliament would necessarily bea machon parliament would necessarilyn independence if you like, but do you think a hung parliament would be a bad thing? yes, i do think it would bea bad thing? yes, i do think it would be a bad thing. we have had nearly three years of a hung parliament and the consequence of that has been an inability to actually arrive at decisions, to paralyse progress, and for many the whole countryjust to despair of politicians. a lot of not trusting politicians is because, in the absence of being able to get anything done, people have become incredibly frustrated. i have got to come back to the point that nicola sturgeon raised because she does not acce pt sturgeon raised because she does not accept the outcome of referendums. i do. she has said if she doesn't wind a second referendum on brexit, she would not accept it. does anyone believe that if she lost a second referendum she wouldn't start a campaign fora referendum she wouldn't start a campaign for a third? my argument would be we have spent all this time talking about a cons

so, parliament which will happen sometime injanuary. symbolic moment and prove what we know, the majority is there to get the legislation through to ensure that brexit happens on the 3ist to ensure that brexit happens on the 31st of january, but there are a few steps to go to end that process. in terms of other things in the queen's speech, brexit front and foremost, but the nhs, other things this house will have to deal with? certainly a priority focus for the government on the nhs, partly because that was one of the big promises in the election campaign. and so they know they have new voters in the north of england, for whom the nhs was a priority. they now have to deliver. obviously there will be an argument from a diminished labour party, yes, but you are still not putting in as much money as we did the last time we we re money as we did the last time we were in government. as a cash figure it's bigger, but when you take account of inflation, it's less funding proportionally than was putting in the years leading up to 2010. in the e

is the biggest party in parliament which also forms the biggest block and they basically called upon political parties to rally together and to basically support expelling foreign troops including the u.s. troops from iraq now technically according to the constitution it's only the executive who can propose such legislation sort of parliament cannot really do that so we have to closely watch what prime minister out of his government will be doing whether they will indeed table such a bill to see the departure of foreign troops and we've had you know parliament calling on the departure of foreign troops in the past before but it never materialized because there was no support for such a move from the government but of course parliament being dominated by these iranian backed groups means that such a legislation if tabled would easily pass. and now we'll hear from mike hanna in washington d.c. with reaction from the u.s. the question is whether this is part of a new u.s. offensive whether it is the beginning of something rather than a consequence of attacks by the various armed groups

in a previous parliament that would not honor the commit and on which 80% of the last parliament had been elected. signed up tolfully a manifest are saying that it would honor the referendum results and then betrayed that did not enjoy their first democratic contact with their voters. i am proud that so many of my new colleagues are taking the place of those who did not -- opportunity, i have to say, mr. speaker, a historic opportunity for you to repair some of the damage done to the reputation of the chair of this house. we wish you well and that great, historic task. friend, the my prime minister, he is absolutely right not to enter this period of: -- of constant extension. there will be nothing that will give the e.u. lest incentive -- less incentive then embarking on such a process, and seeing the torture of the last few years, we need not go through that again. >> does my right honorable agree that australia negotiated trade deals within 18 months, there is no reason we cannot negotiate a good trade deal with the e.u. by the end of next year given that we had 47 years of integra

mohammed just walk us through what we think will happen in the parliament today. well peter it's expected the parliament is going to be meeting in just around 2 hours from now but you know we must be out of office when we say that and that's because there have been many times in the past couple of weeks when parliament has said they are going to convene when it's quite urgent for them to try convene and yet it doesn't happen maybe a quorum cannot be met perhaps aren't as people were just it's a little bit chaotic here right now nonetheless we just we're been told the phone is expected to meet and yet we're not quite sure precisely if that's going to happen. nonetheless let me tell you a little bit about what's happening here in your square at this hour we've spoken to a lot of the demonstrators who told us that they believe that the body that prime minister i've been mad he has submitted his resignation letter to the cabinet and to parliament they think that's a good 1st step that doesn't go far enough let me show you where we're at you hurts alone and talk in her

with borisjohnson the big bust up in parliament with boris johnson and mps the big bust up in parliamentrisjohnson and mps are saying we need a fortnight or whatever to consider the bill and mrjohnson said he only thought they needed three days and now they are only getting three days. what that means isi getting three days. what that means is i think ministers can be pretty confident they will get the bill which will take us out of the eu through parliament, approved by the european parliament by the end of january. thank you, norman. the head of the financial conduct authority, andrew bailey, has been named as the new governor of the bank of england. mr bailey will be the i2ist governor of the bank of england and will succeed mark carney when he leaves at the end of the next month. here's the chancellor making the announcement in the last half hour. iam i am delighted to announce that the next governor of the bank of england will be andrew bailey. when we launched this process, we said we we re launched this process, we said we were looking for a leader of international standing with e

now on bbc news, thursday in parliament. hello, and welcome to thursday in parliament, where it's down to business for mps following last week's general election. the queen comes to westminster for the second time in ten weeks, setting out the government's to—do list for the year. and there's no prizes for guessing what's at the top. my government's priority is to deliver the united kingdom's departed from the european union on the 31st of january. labour says the government has tried to mimic some of its priorities. on austerity, on investment, on inequality and on the national health service and we can see how we force the terrain to shift. but boris johnson's predicting a positive future. i do not think it vainglorious or impossible to say that a new golden age for this united kingdom is now in reach. mid—morning, the queen set off from buckingham palace for the state opening of parliament, a ceremony she's more than familiar with, having taken part in it 66 times during her reign. but having done the whole thing just ten

libya is a neighboring country as we share maritime border lines in the mediterranean sea once the parliament comes into session we will present the proposal for dispatching turkish troops to libya based on the security cooperation agreement once indorsed by the parliament we will be able to effectively back the legitimate government some states who support the coup general with their jet fighters tanks and militia object to this move and criticize turkey because of it well minister has more from antakya. well for the process is drawing closer to a conclusion and the realisation of no one's plot to send troops to leave he's already passed the 1st hard on which was getting parliamentary approval for his military cooperation agreement with libya that passed last week and now a new legislation has to be brought to parliament on the 7th of january as he ses and debated on the 8th and passed it on the day or the following day on the 9th in which he is seeking a monday for troops to be sent to tripoli to help the government internationally recognized the government of course this is what the law st

what will the parliament do. just a quick correction i'm not in parliament i'm an independent or you're going to spend as you know i'm not in parliament right but i just want to make one clarification is that the 'd custom is debatable in article $76.00 it clearly states that after 15 days of the selection of the president does he actually has have to name the prime minister while that 15 days elapsed last year last october 2018 is when president barham saleh was elected so it actually constitutionally he does have the right to select any other candidate he wants however the whoever he selects has to pass parliament and should get 50 percent plus one of the votes the problem what we have is that i know but i'm sol i've known him for 25 years he's a good friend of mine he doesn't want to ignite a civil war the reason is there are demonstrations sit ins in about 15 cities in iraq and these people have said we didn't demonstrate we we didn't lose 600 of our comrades in sniper attacks and. you know tear gas attacks f

in the next parliament.to coalition with jeremy corbyn or boris johnson. we made that clear. francine: jeremy corbyn or labour? if they replaced him, would you do a coalition? christine: that is a different scenario that is not on the table. a vote for labour is a vote for jeremy and we will not put jeremy corbyn in number 10. , you will see the liberal democrats who are in a position to feed conservatives and ensure that -- defeat conservatives and ensure that parliament has to produce legislation which we have been calling for, for three years. tom: what is the single message liberal democrats have for key marginal voters across the united kingdom? what is the single appeal for those suburbanites? christine: what we want to do is build a brighter future. we want to tackle climate change, build more housing, invest in health and education, but to do that we have to stop brexit and in scotland, we have to stop independence. we have to ensure the u.k. stays together so we can build the brighter future. franci

all right for more i'm joined tonight at the big table by verdi he's a member of the german parliament for the social democrats and he is a supporter of banning who is going to have you on the show i'm going to ask you what do you hear when the head of who are away tells us that his company is committed to privacy and data protection but actually i believe it's not about his company's trustworthiness it's not describing what who i is but what the relationship between them and their government is where is he not being honest with us then about the power that beijing could potentially have over his company i don't know about honesty and i've talked to so many representatives some who in the last weeks or so. i trust them personally it's not a personal distress not even connected to that company itself but then the system the system where this company has grown and which is based now on this is the people's republic of china and obviously the government there can get involved any time they choose to how then do you explain the german chancellor's stance she said today that she's not aware
